Jonathan Giles, the latest to sport No. 7 for #LSU, is ready to turn heads in the Tigers'

Love it

great post

Geaux Tigers - I can't believe we got 2 starters from Texas Tech

I hope the kid has a QB that will allow him to do his thing, and make plays and put up solid numbers. He is a proven WR for those that keep saying LSU doesn't have a proven WR, he's the real deal putting up outstanding numbers in his last season at TTech. He just needs a QB to get the ball to him and he will do the rest, and I wish I could say he would be at LSU for 2 seasons, but if he has another outstanding season he's probably gone.

My favorite part of the article isn't even about Giles. It is the mention of the defenders - especially Devin White.

quote:

---

That’s what happens when defenders talk as much as LSU’s. Trash talk is mandatory at DBU

---

quote:

The trash talk never escalated beyond words. But it did serve to keep Giles on edge during his year away from live competition.

---

quote:

That claim didn’t sit well with LSU’s defensive backs, who clapped back on Twitter by downplaying Orgeron’s praise. Linebacker Devin White didn’t like his defensive teammates’ abilities behind questioned, either.

---

quote:

---

“He wasn’t difficult to deal with,” White says. “They’re just trying to make him sound good. We have the best DBs in the country; do you think he was flying past those DBs? That’s Devin White’s quote: Do you think Jonathan Giles is flying past the best defensive backs in the country? He’s a great player and he’s going to do great for us, but we’re DBU. We lock everybody up and it shows on the field.”

---

quote:

---

White, defiant as ever and as punishing verbally as he is physically, remains skeptical.

“I told him he’s got to prove he’s No. 7 worthy to me,” White says.

---

The defense including a LB isn't even going to allow the head coach to talk up a punk arse offensive player if it means demeaning their side of the ball.

Giles did have good responses to the ribbing:

quote:

---

“It’s straight man here,” he says. “Big 12 was mostly zone. You’d have some teams like Oklahoma play man. SEC, for the most part, is straight man. I got a taste of it last year going against Donte and Kevin Toliver and Greedy.

“All I smelled was their breath.”

---

quote:

---

From Giles’ perspective, perhaps things were a bit more even than either Orgeron or White indicate. The truth, like the gap in a Cover 2 defense, is somewhere in the middle.

“We competed,” he says. “Some days, they would win. Some days, I would win. It was good competition all around. We would go back and forth, have a little trash talk in there. It was just fun to compete against them guys.”

he’ll be an asset to Head Coach Dave Aranda’s offense

Some of y’all are so fricking ignorant

I watched his film and i don't think he will be the best receiver on this year team in my opinion. He was good for the conference he played in. I mean the spring game will tell me alot about what he has to offer but i just don't see best receiver in the country type of talk.

I hope we have a functional offense that allows Mr. Giles to perform to his potential. TBD.

rational post that I actually agree with.

That's a great quote "All I smelled was their breath" it means they were on that arse all day.

Gee whiz is that what this means? Dang, thanks for the breakdown. Maybe I can misinterpret it and call you out numnutz.

if LSU’s coaches can be believed

The fact that this has to be used a qualifying statement before writing about the LSU football program tells you everything you need to know about Ed and his coaching staff.
