Patrick Queen, RB

This is big. Can get big playing time from what I read about his abilities. Film looks decent. Anyone see him in person?

Curry will be starting by mid year

Where is the thread? You're the second person who I've seen reference this

Mind linking it?

Queen is not needed at RB, people are pushing the panic button for no reason at all. LSU has good, quality RB's that will be alright. Ducre can be moved to halfback if needed as mentioned, that kid hasn't run for LSU at all except in practices. He was a really good RB in HS that I wouldn't mind seeing in the rotation.

Based on what dude? We lost like 85% of a rushing offense from last season.

You do realize that right?

Stop exaggerating, man, they lost Guice and Williams. Lol They have unproven really good RB's like LSU always does have. They just need experience to get going and they will be alright. Some, Brossette and Fournette's lil brother have already gotten some experience running and is not really completely raw. You put Ducre in that mix, a 240 pound sledgehammer and they will be fine. You also have Curry and Provens coming in to add to that. If the hard cap crap hadn't messed shite up, Joiner would have also been in that group.

We are just that bad at RB.

I did high school radio for playoff games and saw Queen and White in action, both played both ways.

Queen was good, but did not stand out as much as White. Livonia had several college prospects that year.

White and Queen could play on either side of the ball in colege. Had LSU had a need at rb when White came out, I am sure they would have played him there. Once White hit the secondary, he was unstoppable. That said, he was ridiculous at linebacker, he blew up every run play in the playoff game I watched and I remarked often he should play lb in college. I would still have some third and short plays where I would let him play offense a few plays a game. White could play running back in the pros too.

White agreed to play lb at LSU to get on the field faster. It was a smart move.

Queen would be higher up the depth chart at running back. LSU has White, Taylor and Phillips ahead of Queen, with good freshman coming in.

At rb there is more of a wide open competition, Queen might see more playing time there. He is a versatile athlete and if I were him I would move where staff thought I had the best chance to see the field.
