with our two surest tacklers gone (Sheppard and PP7) it may be a matter of who we make look the best via missed tackles rather than who actually is the best.
I'll go with Richardson.

I could exploit more of what you said. I was on my phone at the time and couldn't go back and look at other posts from you.
LaMichael is the most incomplete back of the 4 backs. Isn't a strong runner between the tackles like the rest are.
Richardson and Dyer are both able to show off National Championship rings that they helped their team get to.
No doubt Dyer will struggle with a new line, the question wasn't who was gonna do a better job this year against LSU. The question was which will be the best running back. LaMichael James may very well put up the most yards against LSU next year, but that doesn't mean he is the best back they faced.

The thread while predictable and all 'bout Saban as usual, it did get me thinking about one of LSU's best RB stables..

Exploit away. My aptitude in logic is very high. Nothing that I have said is a stretch on logic. "Best" is very subjective and leaves room for conjecture, which is exactly the point of the discussion

Better than my nightmare, about Jefferson Starship in the 80's at the Centroplex, with Grace Slick singing parts of "Jane"? Thank goodness it was just a dream.

I actually had a dream last night and Hot Carl was in it. All I remember was sitting around a table drinking at his place in Shreveport and I knocked his watch off the table that was lying there and I had to apologize to him a couple of times to make sure he wasn't mad. And some random arse folk were there.

Have you figured out what it's all about yet?

Ware in practice........
All are real good backs.
Let the season begin.

I think it's ironic that in a lot of your posts you tend to use bigger words. Why you tend to use bigger words Idk, maybe to come off as intellectual or superior. But when it comes to common grammar or correct words like they instead of the you slip up.
There's some "aptitude in logic" for you.

A) LaMichael James
B) Michael Dye
C) Trent Richardson
D) Knile Davis
E) Marcus Lattimore
I'm going with E, in the SEC CG!

I make mistakes sometimes in the details but my point is not illogical. I type fast and don't proof read. In any case, my point is not illogical. Besides, I put Richardson at the top of my list. He runs between the tackles, catches the ball out of the backfield and shows to be the best all around back. I put LMJ third only ahead of Dyer because if any out of three benefited from scheme, it was Dyer. I guarantee you that LMJ was the main key for every defense he faced. Dyer was down the pecking order.

So last year Trent Richardson was the #1 had to stop guy at Alabama?
No
So last year Kniles Davis was the #1 had to stop guy at Arkansas?
No
I think Dyer has more potential to be better then Davis and James. Possibly Richardson but that would be a stretch.
Each RB benefits from the style of offense from their team. To say only Dyer benefited from his scheme is a ignorant statement.
Put Davis on a Houston Nutt Arkansas (minus Malzahn's wildcat influence on Nutt's team) that had no threat of a passing game and tell me he'd be putting up the same numbers he had last year.
LaMichael James is a good get to the corner speed rusher. Put him on a Alabama which runs a smash mouth I formation and tell me he'd be putting up the same numbers he does in Oregon's spread.
I think Richardson and Dyer are the best two options of a pure prototypical RB. Richardson might struggle with their not being as prominent of a passing threat with a new QB and Julio gone. Dyer will probably struggle with a new team pretty much.

I said if any of the 4 benefited from the scheme it's Dyer - which is not mutually exclusive. We were thin at runningback last year and Thomas didn't keep the ball like Masoli and Dixon. LMJ was the main key.
Niles was probably second with Mallet and that passing attack.
However, if I remember correctly Ingram was limited a lot last year and Bama's passing attack isn't that of Arkansas (wasn't Jones limited at times as well???). So, no it's not that ignorant.

Each benefited mutually. I'd say if anybody benefited more it would be LaMichael James. You can put Davis, Richardson, and Dyer in different formations and they'd succeed. You put LaMichael in anything really outside of the Spread and I don't see him making the same impact he has.
Dixon? what does he have to do with this? His last season was 2007, and LaMichael's first season was 2008.
Niles or Kniles? you've been arguing this point all day and you can't spell the kids name right? I rarely do this whole grammar spelling thing people do on here, but if you're going to use bigger words to look smart and argue at least spell the kids name right.
At times Ingram was hurt I'm pretty sure, and Julio played most the season hurt from what I heard. Ingram was still the #1 RB on the team tho.

Did Devine graduate from WVU? b/c I think LSU got very lucky he was hurt in your game last year. You really didn't get a good taste of what he truly is. I dont think he is as good as the ones listed, but he still is a serious HR threat.
Posted on 5/3/11 at 7:21 pm to Tiger Stadium 11
I think Devine was a senior last year, don't see him on their roster for 2011.
Posted on 5/3/11 at 7:29 pm to Tigercoop40
Please get off the grammar and spelling. I am not the one lowering myself to juvenile insult. I miss the "K" in the first name but can you name the top 3 backs in the Pac without googling them or using a search function?
Sorry, but Dyer wins the whole "who had the better scheme sweepstakes?" Cam Newton under center, 4 senior olinemen, and a rb that can stretch the field in McCaleb (sorry if his name has two and not 1 l because I am not taking the time to look it up). To boot, the OC is probably one of the best in the country.
The reason I brought up Dixon was because he and Masoli were the last two qbs that you had to respect in the read option. Darron is no where near their quality. Likewise, we were dangerously thin at RB and made LMJ carry the ball too much. He would have benefited from a second back.
Oregon's scheme is a death machine with a guy like Dixon and Darron Thomas is no Dixon.
Since I spelled the name wrong and maybe used a their when it should have been a there, I will resort to smaller words. Check, I will use smaller words.
