This happens more often than not in CFB and often athletic Gs are developed then moved to OT. C position can be the same due to intellect requirement.
They're like 128 teams in CFB, right? LSU is currently #6...we shouldn't need to convert guards to tackles.
Just my opinion...our main competition, along with the other top teams in the country, aren't having to do this at the rate that LSU or most of CFB are having to do it. We're the outlier, in this specific category.

Whatever the litany of excuses given in this thread, they don't account for one team boat racing Bama in the NC and the other team getting their shite pushed in at home.

WTF are you talking about. I'm talking about way before O ever walked on the scene. Are you on drugs?

You're trying to make this an argument that doesn't have to happen. You're trying to back me into a position that I don't agree with plus you're making up a position that you think I'm taking in order to argue.
Your argument basically boils down to... LSU players that don’t perform well lack talent or aren’t “prototypical”, and players from other colleges (Clemson) that look good obviously have more talent/ are better suited for their position.
Despite many talent evaluators saying that we recruit players with similar talent as a school like Clemson. By the way that’s something not very many schools can say.
If you can’t see how illogical that is you are a lost cause. And I’m pretty sure you were already a lost cause because of your learning disability.

We recruited 2 of the most talented tackles in the country. Don’t tell me they are out of position.
Even if we missed on those 2 prospects you think that explains our terrible offensive production over the past decade?
Your argument may hold some water if we were considering one year in isolation, but when we have been awful on offense for a decade and you say it’s from recruiting misses at the Tackle position you look like a total clown

In before Ben tells you that we averaged 12 more passing yards per game this year.

you do realize LSU has run zone schemes for many years?
*I will say LSU does not have a real LT, having a 5* LT like Clemson's would dynamically change the make-up of LSU's OL. So recruiting plays a huge role.

Things Les was infamous for:
- Poor clock management
- Being too conservative
- Playing guards at tackle
- Meddling in the offense
Things Ed O should be infamous for:
- Poor timeout and play review management
- Being too conservative
- Playing guards at tackle
- Meddling in the offense

I'm not talking about the past decade. I'm talking about two players in particular who aren't producing at a level that you'd expect. I don't care what you think but I gave my opinion about one that isn't cutting it at tackle. Maybe he could be moved to the interior or hell ride the bench if not. The other player I haven't been able to see a lot of video on him because he can't crack the two deep and a converted guard beat him out for the position. I don't know what argument you're trying to make but it doesn't hold water.

I think Les's philosophy was to build the OL from the inside-out. Hence, the emphasis on center and guard. But that doesn't mean we've been impoverished at LT (I'm not researching RT - feel free to do so).
But here's the LT's during Les' tenure:
'05 Whitworth (Saban recruit and all-time great)
'06-'09 Ciron Black. Great LT who was projected to be a 1st rd pick until injury. Same group as Oher and Andre Smith.
'10 Barksdale; good, not great.
'11-'12 Chris Faulk - very good LT. but unfortunately got hurt, entered the draft and never
made it.
'13-'14 La'el, nuff said; a monster. Probably belongs in the discussion of all-time greats.
'15, Jerald Hawkins, very good LT. Still in the NFL I think.
'16, Malone - avg., routinely criticized, but I thought his play improved a ton over the season.
Point being, you will be hard pressed to find a better run of LTs than that. We were not LT deficient during Les's tenure.

Here's the thing with that, though...it's 2019 now. Notice how your list ended on Malone in 2016? And, let's be honest here, Malone wasn't the greatest LT.
We'll be entering our 4th consecutive season without a stud tackle on the roster, left or right.

That is an impressive bunch. I wish a couple of them had another year of eligibility.

The offense struggled with a stud tackle in 2013-2015. The offense is currently run by Les’s TE coach.
No I don’t think a stud left tackle this year would have made our offense look like Clemson’s
If you do you should check into the nearest nut house for an evaluation.

You are right. You actually don’t even have an argument. An argument requires evidence and logic.
