re: Logan tossed Maason Smith in drill

I know he's a football player genius. what im saying is that he was acting as an offensive lineman in the drill and he doesn't play oline. He doesnt know the right technique and got exposed for being too high and not a wide enough base and got out leveraged and thrown away. He won't be playing off line for lsu either, so it really doesn't matter what he looked like as an offensive lineman lol. He's an interior defensive lineman, two completely different skillsets and positions. This is why you can't just plug an offensive lineman in to play def line or vise versa, they aren't interchangable usually unless the player is good enough to do it...which is very rare at this level of ball. This isn't high school ball anymore, you're dealing with elite athletes that have excelled at their specific positions at every level of ball they've been at. I believe that is what orgeron was getting at. You have to bring it every play and every rep, even in a drill with just helmets on where u are standing in as an off lineman bc the other dude across from u is just as good and mature and maybe moreso than I are with just as many accolades coming out of hs as u have...u gotta bring it everytime. I wouldn't expect him to look good against glen logan as an offensive lineman trying to block him. Anyway, ive always said that I believe it's tougher to get acclimated to the speed of the game and caliber of the athletes your competing against going from high school to the sec or big-time college football than it is for a pla,er to go from the sec or big-time college football to the nfl...I just think that it is tougher to do.

Bruh...

When someone does it to you, you lean much faster how to do it to them.

By the end of the week Maason will do the same exact thing to some unsuspecting OL.

I just don’t get why this is a headline

6th year Sr tosses guy in his 2nd practice

Big frickin deal

Did he really even get tossed? Logan just shed the block and he fell because he was off balance.

The fact that this is even being talked about is it being over blown.

Can someone tell me WTF is the point of that drill? What's it working on?

Take a Top 5 FR DT and put him at Guard?

Is Logan benefitting from it? Smith sure isn't.

Maybe they're working on the snap and the extra guys are there for a bit of realism?

It’s a drill in an individual group session. They do this all the time. When O is off screen he is telling the guys on offense what to do as if they were blocking and the drill is for Logan to read the blocking pattern and handle his assignment.

If you go to an o line individual drill session some o lineman are acting like d lineman. DB’s acting as WR’s etc.

Logan needs to focus on doing that to actual OL in actual games

Although he looks like he’s in decent shape.

Did they do weight on the spring roster?

That's cool, "welcome to LSU big boy"!
