re: Saw your scrimmage stats. Did Coach O indicate it was 1s vs 1s?

With your current cult membership I wouldn't declare anything that comes out of your mouth sane or relavant. Do you need me to write all that down, put it in a hat, and then read it to you?

Man I'm as big a LSU fan as anyone, I think Devin White can be a great player. He has physical tools that are out of this world. He may be the best is the SEC this year but there's no way we can declare that at this point. Did you see Guice throw him on his head during the spring game?

No..

Seems like BYU is a relatively good matchup for us... They have a pro style QB and say they want to chunk it downfield... with Key doubtful our youngsters on the DL will benefit from knowing where the QB will be and that he needs time to get it to receivers downfield. Chaisson is a beast and a Key clone.. so that should be a favorable matchup... Our DBs should be able to blanket the receivers (they should be much more athletic and faster than BYU) although we definitely need to avoid the occasional breakdown and not allow one or two long passes. Delpit is showing to be a ball hog at safety and the competition at DBU is intense as usual, so I do not expect any dropoff in our secondary. Their running game is worse after losing their top RBs... that should help with LSUs inexperienced LB corps. A mobile QB who would dink and dunk combined with experienced rushing attack would stress our LB and edge guys... Their LBs should be a strength which obviously pairs well against our strength in the rushing game, but I cant believe they are fast enough to stay with Guice on the edge even if they manage to clog the middle. Guice will get his yards and Canada's use of misdirection and WR in the running game will stretch them sideline to sideline. Speed makes up for a bad first step... doubtful they have that kind of speed. Their DBs will have to also protect deep, I cant believe they will want to press against us... that should open up underneath routes for TE, WR and also RBs and while their LB might be experienced enough to counter some of that they will have to respect the run first. BYU will have played a game and while playing a game is good because of the progress young players make from Game 1 to Game 2.. the flip side is we will have game film on them and they will have last year for Aranda and Pitts for Canada. I think that will offset this advantage especially when we are on offense since no one will have seen Canada's offense as it relates to LSU personnel. Pitts tapes will help with pre snap motion, but everyone knows Canada tweeks his play calling based on individuals. BYU will be forced to prepare for misdirection as well as LSU traditional power game. All that being said I think LSU defense will smother BYU offense and allow our offense to wear down BYU defense.... they cant keep up with Guice all day (especially having to chase WR on runs) even if our passing game isn't prolific. Overall I feel like we will slowly pull away from a scrappy BYU team.

How exactly do you have more experience than what you ended with last year? Have the boys in purple and gold been getting in some CFL games over the summer?

And more talent? So you're saying that LSU's new freshman class is more talented than the juniors and seniors that left after 2016?

Or are you saying that the backups last year are more talented than those that left after 2016? If they're more talented, then why weren't they starting in 2016?

I realize that it's the preseason and everyone is saying how the teams are bigger, faster, stronger than ever before. I just didn't think anyone ever bought into that.

The guy that said all that got a little too excited. I think what he meant to say was that we have crazy good talent all over the place, but inexperience is the main focus right now. Reports from camp have us excited about our freshman group. Grant Delpit is said to be ahead of Jamal Adams at the same point of their careers.

BHP - He understood what the OP was stating and is either just trying to be hypocritical or difficult.

Recall in his initial thread he stated about BYU:

quote:

Just too much history as to the mindset and performance of a BYU team to think otherwise.

---

He has no issue relying on historical trends of his team, just like we rely on reloading and can cite the specific examples (Delpit, Chaisson, Thornton, 2nd year White etc...). People tend to forget we were somewhat vanilla on D last year as we were absorbing an entirely new and complex system of Aranda-Ball

Make no mistake, you're a member of a cult. You freaks aren't dangerous really, just incredibly fricking stupid. Nice enough people I guess. Really shitty magazines though.

Just an FYI, you're thinking of Jehovah's Witnesses. Not even close to the same thing, but thanks for playing.

I have to say, I was wondering if "y'all" had a magazine. I was unsure. I don't know all that much about LDS. But, I was really wondering if the other poster was getting upset at the wrong "cult"
