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

new pass-happy offense.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE: JONATHAN GILES, THE LATEST TO SPORT NO. 7 FOR LSU, IS READY TO TURN HEADS IN THE TIGERS’ NEW PASS-HAPPY OFFENSE
quote:
NOW, THE GAMES will be his game, and because of the number on the back of his jersey, all eyes will be on Giles. Can he be the go-to playmaker in an offense that, if LSU’s coaches can be believed, will emphasize the pass more than ever?
His teammates sure think so.
“He wears No. 7, and he deserves No. 7, because he is such a talent and such a leader and such a great player,” says tight end Foster Moreau, perhaps the next to wear No. 18 for LSU.
The Tiger most familiar with his game, fellow Texas Tech transfer Breiden Fehoko, agrees.
“I remember Coach O telling me, ‘Hey what do you think about Jonathan Giles?’” Fehoko says. “I said ‘Coach, he’s going to be the best receiver in college football come a year from now with a redshirt year under his belt and being the type of talent he is.’”
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.
quote:
“I watched LSU growing up,” he says. “So I knew about Patrick Peterson, I knew about Tyrann Mathieu, I knew about Leonard Fournette and D.J. Chark. I knew about those guys beforehand.”
The Tiger he knew most about, however, sported not 7, but 80. Even before LSU was on his radar, Giles was a Jarvis Landry fan. He devoured his film, studying his releases, his breaks, his moves with the ball in his hands.

great post

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.

If he stays two years, he’ll be an asset to Head Coach Dave Aranda’s offense for the second half of 2018 and all of 2019.

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.”

Some of y’all are so fricking ignorant
That's a great quote "All I smelled was their breath" it means they were on that arse all day. He wasn't getting any separation from these guys. Lol

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 mean, he's been with our team for the last year. The players and coaches seem to be impressed with him.

Well, it's settled then.

I hope we have a functional offense that allows Mr. Giles to perform to his potential
rational post that I actually agree with.
Article could be written better.
WTF does this even mean?
How the hell did he know Orgeron from following the tigers closely growing up? Ed was at his other dream jobs.

knew Orgeron from following the Tigers closely growing up in the Lone Star state. LSU came to town every year for recruiting and seemingly every year for a neutral site, road, or bowl game.

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

he could be the best route runner since Jerry Rice, wont make a difference if LSU doesn't have a QB who can throw it to him.

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.
Why in the heck would an excellent post on a LSU board have so any downvotes?
Nice post man. I’m ready for the season. Win or lose tigers over everyone.
But I do think our D will b savage.
