"LSU doesn't know how to properly use Perkins"

House doesn’t have a clue.

Let him play both ways. Try him at running back. He averaged 19 yards a carry his senior season in high school.

Apparently teams were starting to figure out how to neutralize him by the end of last year by stacking multiple receivers on his side which put him into coverage.

I agree we need to figure out how to maximize his talent

I would put him in the same position as last year and not worry about how to “use” him

I think they promised to get him ready for the NFL as a linebacker. Thus, the confusion.

Now it appears they were right. How can everyone EXCEPT the ones in charge see this?

Because he's not traditional in what he does best, and House/Kelly are simply not imaginative or creative in how they want football to be played. They see him as an off ball LB, kept him off the field early last year because he needed to play off ball LB, and as Perkins made an impact started using him in that role more (and his effectiveness declined). Now they get a full offseason with him and that's all they worked on and the only way they see him.

I remember seeing that same thread and thinking there is no way there is any truth to this. LSU is paying them a lot of money to know what to do with the players we have. Transfer portal doesn’t leave a lot of room for error here. It did NOT look good Sunday night!

Bring back Aranda once he gets fired by Baylor
