RJ Jackson had one game where he caught like 6 passes other than that what has he done this year? What has he done in the last 5 years?

inability or stupidity, makes no sense that they'd be saving him when they almost lost to MSU, which would have hurt the season a lot more than losing to either UGA or UF

RR was the no. 1 player coming out of HS, he should have more than one reception, but there are two legit WR's ahead of him, fine. But Randle isn't the real issue, everyone knows the main issue is the inability to use Shepard. It's indefensible.


Randle hadn't played wideout in over a year at that point, and at that it was high school ball.

That's what pisses me off most about the big magnifying glass on recruiting. We get all caught up on ratings and highlight tapes of them playing against other 16 and 17 year olds and forget about the physical and mental preparedness that guys who have been in the system for 3 years or more get. He'll get there, just be patient. As pumped up and excited as we were when we landed Toliver a few years ago, you have guys in the stands calling for Randle now. It's just stupid flavor of the month shite.

I completely agree with you there. If, by some chance, that actually is the case, we better see an arsenal of plays come Saturday.

Go back in the last 5 years and name some underclassman who beat out upperclassman for a starting spot when the said upperclassman was not injured. I cant name any, there may be a small #, but I cant name one.

Keiland Williams got significant time as a freshman, Peterson and Chad Jones certainly did as well.

chad jones was a nickel back and didn't play that much until about midseason

keiland was our best back and didn't play until about midseason

PP didn't start until about midseason, when he was our best CB

true freshman CAN play, but it usually won't be anything major until week 6-7

no need to lecture me about unrealistic expectations for frosh. RR is also a ton more developed physically than Toliver was coming in. These are a select few special athletes that don't come in every year. You completely ignored my point about Shepard, and jumped all over the RR bit again, which I agreed was secondary b/c of talent ahead of him.

He is the third receiver on a team with two clear cut starters and a future NFL tight end so he isn't going to be racking up hundreds of yards. He has caught every pass thrown his way, including a very clutch 40 yard pass against Mississippi State.

I am sure Randle will be very good as well. He will be the number two receiver next year, starting opposite Toliver.

Who was in front of Doucet with any track record besides Dwayne Bowe?

We haven't been ahead enough to put him in and we can't call plays for him in tight games when he fumbled the second time he touched the ball. It really does make me laugh at/pity you people that aren't at practice naming who should and shouldn't play. We're 4-0 and have the ability to beat any team in the country on any given night.

We've never been the type of team that blows out opponents. We play tight games and make the big plays when we need to. Complaining like this is retarded and serves zero purpose other than to prove what a panty waste you are.

Books, I was pissed last week too that we didn't play Shep in the second half so I can sort of see your point there. But it's 4 games into a season, let's see how that plays out.

LSU can't run period ahead or behind w/o him, he picks up yards when no one else can running the ball

you have your head up your arse if you can't see his effectiveness vs the running game we have now

Miles has shown time and time again, and right now with RR, that he favors upperclassman.


This is a complete fallacy.

And don't talk any Keiland smack either. He's wasn't our best back, isn't our best back and won't be our best back in the future.

The best RR can hope for is top be the number 3, because he has two players above him that are much better than he is. He is no better right now than Mitchell or Jackson, I don't care how high he was ranked in high school.

and he's not. he's #5 behind those 2 (who nobody says he should get PT over) and 2 "meh" guys (mithcell, jackson)

How is he number 5 instead of number 4? Because Mitchell has caught one more pass than him? They are getting a very comparable number of passes thrown their way and are both making a pretty minimal impact so far.

RJ has been very clutch for the team so far this season, and I understand why he is number 3 right now.

jumped all over the RR bit


basically turned it into another RR thread!

I think one of the big reasons Lache will come to LSU is to get to play for Coach Larry Porter.

Porter has developed great running backs everywhere he has coached.

He had Tatum Bell and Vernand Morency at Oklahoma State.

He's had Joseph Addai, Jacob Hester, Charles Scott and Keiland Williams at LSU.

What do all of thses guys have in common other than playing for Coach Porter?

Tatum Bell was a 2004 NFL draft pick.

Vernand Morency was a 2005 NFL draft pick.

Joseph Addai was a 2006 NFL draft pick.

Jacob Hester was a 2008 NFL draft pick.

Charles Scott & Keiland Williams will be 2010 NFL draft picks.

Coach Porter is the Boobie Miles of running backs coaches.
"If You want to win, let Coach Porter put you in"

At his first college job he had a guy named Jonathan Adams at Arkansas State that had two 1000 yard rushing seasons under him.

Why would anyone want to play for anyone other than Coach Porter?
