Make sure you guys realize I meant it when I said if he gets in "the right situation". He would be bad in a bad situation for sure I think. I'm just saying if he ended up with a good O line a good Scheme, and lots of touches, he could do very well. If he were in Addai's situation, I honestly think he would do better.

When was the last time he was given the oppurtunity to run inside? It's impossible to make something happen when your number is called to run the option with Jefferson. That is a fact. The guy can run inside. Go back and look at film from 2006 and 2007. You just don't lose that ability. I am not saying he is a perfect back but KW and all of his perceived weaknesses have been GREATLY exaggerated.
Imagine if, at your job all you did was produce. Then for some unknown reason your boss promoted someone into your spot eventhough you didn't do anything to lose that spot. I would bet all of your coworkers and outsiders would begin to speculate with reasons why you lost your spot. I think this is exactly what happened with KW. Nobody really knows. I wish him nothing but the best when he leaves here because he really did get a raw deal.

Wow. Can't say I agree with that at all.

I always wonder why Kieland isn't the pitch guy on every option?

I don't remember him being a very good inside zone runner in 2006 and 2007. I remember him trying to bounce an inside zone vs. tennessee in the SECCG and losing about 6 or 7 yards. (that is usually a big no-no). Maybe there are instances of him excelling at running power and inside zone but I just don't remember them. The tennessee one is the only one that sticks out in my mind. I don't remember him getting too many opportunities to do it either.

Keiland is a good back who I think will make it in the NFL. He just happened to be at LSU when we had another back who runs a little harder and does some things better. If he would have been at LSU in any other period of time he would have probably been the starter. Just hard to beat out a beast like Charles Scott.

I hate calling players out, but he lets one guy defend him and the pitch every time.

CS has had a higher YPC average than KW every year with the only exception being THIS year.
Even this year, CS is 4.5 and KW is 4.8.
SO, if you did play KW over CS wouldnt it actually fit your scenario you painstakingly drew up? And it would be Scott that would be the one that was wronged?
Posted on 11/1/09 at 8:46 pm to Palm Beach Tiger
true, he is not the best I've ever seen at attacking the pitch key.

4.5ypc is beastly??
the only 2 games that CS had over a 5.0ypc average was vs ULL and Tulane.

what is so funny a-hole? you ever see Williams run in the open field, it almost always is a TD, laugh at that.
Posted on 11/1/09 at 8:49 pm to tigerfoot
i think KW deserves better than 2 carries vs Tulane, when Scott got 18 and Ridley havent played all year and got 8.
Posted on 11/1/09 at 8:50 pm to tubucoco
Call people names because they disagree with you. That's funny.

I dont really agree, but it has nothing to do with vision.
Just watch a reel of KW carries and see which ones end up on the sideline versus midfield. Is it just coincidence that the seams are always to the outside?

I agree 100%.

I would not want to see him get the mop up carries.
Just because I dont think he is going to rip up the NFL does not mean I dont like him or think he has earned his touches behind Scott.

I look at it as KW still has 4.8 with the crap option they make him run.
We will see against Bama, Scott will have 15 carries, I don't think his YPC will go up though.

I called you an a-hole because you are laughing at the a fact that this guy has made some of the biggest plays for LSU in his short role there for TD's. that is just plain stupid, have you seen the Va Tech run or any of the others? probably not, but you just like to laugh I guess.

I'm right there with you foot. I'd love to see KW make it in the NFL. My opinion is he has a long way to go for that to happen.
