57th worst in drops (out of 65 Power-Five teams) according to CBS Sports analyst should tell you a little something about LSUs receiving skills.

And Rohan's comments that the Spring game alsohad an alarming number of drops - I think you posted the link to Rohan's comments on Spring game drops.

Take it however you like, but I'm not outing my source. NOTHING hypocritical about protecting a source - happens every day in all forms of media. Perfectly legit.

If you can get conflicting info from Moffitt, go for it. You must have some connections

Quit pivoting away from the discussion. Bottom line is you insulted someone for doing exactly what you're doing. You've repeatedly said that you know from a source that LSU isn't providing enough access to the machines. So, again, provide a link to someone reporting this.

Never said I had any inside info because I don't. That's not how this works. You don't get to just throw out all of these accusations with nothing to confirm it and then tell others to provide proof to the contrary.

I'm 6'6" and ran a 4.4 40 at the scouting combine. I was set to go pro, but blew out my Achilles. Prove me wrong. See how that works?

Burrow had a whopping passing total of around 80 yards in overtime.

OP confirms what we already knew, LSU being 8th in the SEC in drops was a bullshite stat. Take your victory and leave the jugs machine argument for the annals of TD folklore.

Never said anyone was reporting this. I said I had a source associated with the LSU program who doesn't want to be publicly named.

You should be able to easily refute this from official sources if what I am saying is not accurate.

Odd take for an LSU fan. 57th in drops out of 65 Power-five teams is dreadful.

Why are you more concerned with shutting me up than putting some pressure on the coaching staff to get the Rs some help immediately?

VERY odd take.

1. We can’t put any pressure on them on them.

2. You’re weird crusade is based on an article about 2 players who actually ended up getting tonuse the jugs machines all the time.

You're wrong about that. Shining a social media spotlight on a problem can be highly effective. Doesn't always work, but works more often than you may think.

Bingo. Take the victory and bow out gracefully.

Everyone but the true believers knew the drop stat was wrong. But the JUGS machine thing is weird

Except there isn’t any real evidence of a problem.

I don't doubt that more reps will provide better results. But, we have no way of knowing exactly how many reps that they're getting now or have been getting.

So, just as a hypothetical here, if we were to massively improve in the drop statistic, would you then claim you had a source claiming we were now giving unlimited access to jugs machines?

So worst '18 drop rate in the SEC & Rohan saying the drops in the Spring game were a problem... this doesn't concern you?

Yes drops concern me but without being told they aren’t using the jug machines we know the department owns Im not going to go on and on and on about it.

The best method of reducing drops is reps between your starting QB and his WRs. Spending extra time out of practice getting on the same page.

Drops are usually not a strength concern, but more about coordination and timing. We had so many drops because of the little time Burrow had to work with his wideouts.

I’m under no delusion that Tigerdroppings will put any pressure on any coach. I’m trying to help you, man. This isn’t a winning argument. Damone’s fantasy island stats - yes, jugs - no.
