IS this where you pretend like there was a reason to just assume this team would start 3-0 other than blind homerism?

Well if you paid any attention to last year we lost by a few FGs to 2 teams and while one team was supposed to be below LSUs standards, they were a good team and LSU was trying to figure out who they were as a team.

So if you don't go all bitch mode all season and offseason you would have seen that there was a great chance that LSU would respond this year being how we ended the year full of team leadership and you would have also seen all the changes that were installed.

All the upgrades. Burrow/Tracy/Fehoko/Giles/Analyst/ST coach/DL depth/LB depth/WR depth/OL depth/Fulton. When you combine these additions to what we were doing at the end of last year and if you weren't completely blind with hate for our HC then you would have seen that there was a very good chance all the talk was complete and utter nonsense.

If you want to call that blind homerism then so be it. If that makes you feel better. I know what I saw last year and it wasn't bad coaching. Carry on.

I'ms o fricking tired of trying to justify the Troy loss. It makes it impossible to take anything you say seriously.

OR we could look to the facts that we lost almost all of our offensive production, replaced our OC with someone that hasn't done it for a long time, have a brutal schedule, etc.

The end of the year was losing a shitty game to ND that we had no business losing.

If that makes you feel better about it, sure. Last year was chock full of bad coaching from September to through the bowl game.

This year has been better, but it doesn't change last year.

You really think all of those are attacking Cushenberry?

We beat Auburn last year when they were healthy. Auburn beat both Georgia and Alabama when they were healthy. Unfortunately they lost their best running back late in the Alabama game. Then Auburn lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship game.
We played Alabama pretty close last season. More total yds, if I remember correctly.


No reason to be optimistic preseason? The evidence was there for optimism, if you cared to evaluate the evidence instead of focusing on the "black cloud" narrative.

The first two certainly weren't attacking him. And frankly I don't find saying a player sucks to be attacking him if his play warrants it. SO it would depend on when those posts were made for me.

Coach speak - Lets see

Saddiq Charles getting better every week really means came in out of shape.

Brumfield Experienced leader really means vocal guy

Cushenberry - iS very smart- really means lacking physical traits




The guy is guessing what coach speak means. Hardly an attack.



quote:

2003tigerfan

Whenever someone mentions Cushenberry, It always followed by how smart he is. No one has ever said he can't block ,but it's about putting the 5 best blockers on the field


Again, this guy is just saying he is weary that people only talk about his intelligence. Definitely didn't say he sucked. Hardly an attack.





quote:


The Baker

That could either mean Traore has stepped up

Or

Cushenberry sucks





Again, guessing why shifts were made to the line. And gave two options for why it could have happened. Hardly an attack.


quote:

ROPO

Or

Cushenberry sucks



Same as above.



It is people speculating why changes were being made. They aren't saying they watched Cushenberry play and think his play sucks.

Calling these attacks on a player is a fricking joke Lester. Do you always have to play this character on here?

Nice twisting you’re doing there buddy. You’re right no one questioned Cushenberry

The question was whether he was attacked. Speaking of twisting...

I said the ones I quoted weren't attacking Cushenberry.

I never said no one was questioning Cushenberry.

I swear sometime in the last year or so you hit your head on something.

He was a little dramatic with his wording but the point he was trying to make is pretty clear.

Our fans have been generally clueless when it comes to our OL coming into the season. Our new OL coach has been mocked, our depth has been called shite, our players have been hated on. I’m not trying to get stuck on a word for the sake of arguing

We have a starter suspended, yet have still have to play 8 lineman thru 3 games. We’ve basically proven we can be 2 deep across The line. The line is definitely improving & a lot of people were wrong about our guys, esp Cushenberry.

And for all of that we still suck on 3rd down and have trouble moving the ball, even against FCS teams. Yea, we're winning, but it;s not like we have some dominating offense that warrants an I told you so. Not yet.

He wasn't just dramatic, he was incorrect with his wording and that was my whole point.

Nothing less, nothing more.

He does this all the time.

That's exactly what you did. I told Tiger Ree he was wrong about Cushenberry being "attacked" and you injected yourself into that discussion.

I think incorrectly spreading a bullshite narrative that a player is being "attacked" by our fans is not fair and not helpful.

Talking about the line here. It’s clear to see they took a big jump at auburn against a much better front than either of the other 2 teams we’ve played

So that makes their past performances go away? This thread is very stupid based on what we had actually seen on the field. No one is surprised that you're going to defend it relentless though.
