Nothing personal.
another DE playing RE also made a tackle for loss on a running play when Josh D blocked the shite out of some air. But, we'll pretend that Lemoiner is the only player on defense to fit the Josh D is not terrible argument. Carry on.

Damn straight! Although I do find it humorous that we heavily recruited BOTH of their starting tackles! I wonder how they would have fared with our fan base if they had to play in this game for us.

Sorry to have to correct you Hoss, but he can't lose something he ain't got!

That is what is so funny about all of the Les Haters. They blame the guy for everything and give him credit for nothing. When you look at things one way only, credibility is no longer an option.

Your crusade to prove one of our players sucks has been pretty impressive. He must really deserve it. I appreciate all of your efforts. You even spent a lot of time creating a pic to make fun of him under your name. Doing all of that while being an anonymous 34 year old man behind a keyboard ...... I think that is cool as shite. Congrats!!

Josh D has been a glaring weakness on our offense. it has been quite easy to see. it is why I started this thread and why it is multiple pages.
The coaches aren't retarded. yeah Stud has not shown anything to make us think he is a good play caller, but hes not completely incompetent. he is fat as fvck though and probably eats tons of Zebra Cakes
the point is, if we aren't moving Josh D to guard or to the bench, it is because we have no better options, in their opinion.
and that, however you look at it, is what really sucks arse

Les is loyal to those loyal to him and LSU. Josh D is a feel good story but shouldn't be starting at LT.
I normally would agree, but he could be our best option considering none of us are at practice. Les actually did try and move people around. If hes our best option, then he is going to play.

That must be the answer. Mett is growing that creeper stache to keep people from wanting to tackle him.
Either that or he is just a closet creeper.

I sorta agree with this. I guess I'm holding out hope that he will slowly improve as the season goes on and he gains more experience at T. And although I really haven't scouted all the other teams in the SEC, I would find it hard to believe that every other team has a better LT. For instance, judging from Saturday night I wouldn't say that Auburn's LT is better than ours. Point being, if other teams have to find a way to win without a future NFL guy playing LT...then so can we.

What Miles said today about the O-Line:
"I like the lineup. I think we are going to try and improve it the way it is ... If I may a move, it would not be to disrupt many. Just think, if you move one out then move one back in, it becomes disruption as you prepare. I kinda of like where we're at and we'll see if we can make this work."
I would interpret from this quote that the switch he might make is the most logical one: flip-flop Collins and Josh D. I am sorry but I do not automatically trust the coaches to make the right decision quickly on playing the right guys and in the right spots on offense all the time. They may see guys in practice daily and still make bad choices because humans make mistakes.
Collins was a 5-star LT prospect in high school and is by far more physically capable of playing the spot than Josh D. They are making a mistake but will likely make that switch if/when it proves impossible to continue playing Josh D at LT.

Since the rant has seen each and every lineman in practice....every practice. they clearly know what is best for this team over Miles and co.

Also, I understand why the coaches want to make it work with an experienced 6th year senior after Option A (Faulk) was taken from them. It makes total sense, but they are lucky they didn't lose a game because of Josh D at Auburn. It is a real concern that he costs them a game in October before a move is made.

No, definitely not. But, it's his first year playing, and he was recruited as a guard by LSU. Would never have seen the field at tackle here.
And, if we have to accept that we're seeing the best we got, then so be it. I'll set my expectations accordingly.
But, I kinda feel the same way I did when watching Jarrett Lee throw against La Tech a few years ago. Incompletion after incompletion against a stacked box. 3 and out, 3 and out, when we could have ran it down their throat. We eventually did in a 24-16 game, but the writing was on the wall that the staff was beating its head against it.
As Dan said in his post, it really sucks. Lafell and Randle's tweets from the other night are just about what I would expect to hear from some of the players they left behind.

Coach can be as hard-headed as they come. But, he is our hard-headed coach. No other way to look at it. The sooner you come to this practical perspective and quit angsting over it, the more likely you are to enjoy watching our Tigers.

in many cases, when a backup fans have been calling for finally gets in, the usual reaction is "oh, now I see why the other guy was playing"

Malleveto will make a great DC.
Crowton will be an outstanding OC and QB coach.
JJ is our best QB.
This gameplan for 1/9 is the best.
Josh D is our best LT.
Etc, etc.
Hell yeah Les & Co. make mistakes.

Yes. The only thing someone has to say otherwise is the "trust the coaches" stock answer. I don't for the above reasons.

We lose a couple games before this happens. Too late. Les & Stud are reactive, not preactive.

Collins was rated the #1 LT coming out of highschool
He manhandled Clowney in an all star game.
This is beginning to remind mr of 1-9-12 I was at the game !
JoshD is a guard not a tackle! It's a pride thing with miles no one is going to tell him what to do!
