I wished Loston would have knocked Jefferson out instead of a walk on. I would feel better about our chances of winning the spring game.

Maybe you would prefer Jarrett Lee.

Wow. I think you may have just made the most ignorant comment I have ever read on the rant. Congratulations on pushing the envelope of mediocrity.

let me remind you what i think of Loston.


quote:

and let me be clear...i fully hope and wish Loston reaches his full potential..it will be fun for all of us as fans to see this..if he works hard..the sky is the limit for this guy..ive been told he COULD be the best safety to ever play at LSU..thats a big..HUGE statement..


quote:

Actually the coaches want loston to step up...he is a hell of an athlete and potentially an all American safety....but his lack of work ethic is hurting him...



as regard to Casanova and Stovall... and ill throw L Landry in that mix..thats why i said its a huge statement...but its what was told to me by one of the coaches who recruited him...

The guy couldn't hang onto his starting spot last season


He was actually pulling time from hawkins, not the other way around.

The season he lost it was to peterson, and nobody would question why.

quote:

For a safety, I'd rather have a guy that's an enforcer


I would too, I think jai added 15lbs over the past year so maybe he'll be an enforcer in the run, and he's one of the better tacklers in space.

Therefore, I think he'd be a good fit (if loston doesn't come into his own)

instead of going half speed and working on technique he went full speed and hit and hurt an unexpected unprotected player


If he did do this the rest of the team might have gotten pissed but they will get over it.

Back in the day we called someone who did this shite a "Dummy Scrimmage Hero".

Wow, what a bunch of pissin and moanin....

Sounds like gang has a handle on what happened. I trust his take.

Teeing off on a weak teammate during a half-speed techinque drill ain't cool. The "But I like mean mofos!" assertion is childish at best. They are not in HS and are expected to take maturity to a higher level. The time to be mean is full speed and mean better accompany the right assignment......

awesome swagger/presence and could level a locomotive, BUT I felt his cover skills suffered at times due to the effort to make big hits.

+1!

The story seems to be getting twisted somewhat. This is what I got from 'Gangs original post:

-Loston was not going full speed during a full speed drill. Not a good thing

-Loston got pissed after getting called out.

-After getting pissed, he went full speed during a technique drill and hurt a teammate. Again, not a good thing.

If he's going to try to lay someone out, maybe he should take a shot at Peterson, Taylor, or Eugene, instead of a practice squad freshman...then it might show how what a "mean mofo" he is.


Either way, the team will get over it pretty quick. Most probably thought it was crappy, but not that big of a deal overall. He needs to step it up though...he could make a lot of money one day.

this!

i wasnt trying to come down on the kid...but more over all the people who thought just because he hurt a player with an unexpected blow made him some kind of "mean mofo" it means nothing...that would happen most everyday on any HS field given the same circumstances..the loston worship on here has been ridiculous..

So let me get this straight, Loston gets called out for not going full speed and is now villanized for going full speed?


you aren't this fricking stupid. I know you aren't. Yes, you get villanized for going full speed on a half speed drill even after getting called out for not going full during full speed drills.

knocking someone out during a half speed drill is pretty shitty and low. be a man and bust heads when everyone is going their hardest. don't understand how anyone could be happy with his actions.
