re: Some anonymous SEC coaches are just a little salty when asked about us

You left out all the good things. I actually found it a good article, did you expect them to only give LSU praise and say they are unbeatable? Fulton as average is egregious, but the rest of it is understandable even if you don’t agree. Here’s some of the other quotes:
quote:
”The QB is elite. They have elite skill. They are on a magic ride. Rarest of seasons. Joe (Burrow) makes is all go. Reminds me of 2012 Manziel at A&M. Appreciate what you’re watching. Wish I didn’t have to experience it. And to be clear … Burrow is 1,000 percent better than Manziel. But the momentum he creates is like a tidal wave.”
quote:
“He’s as playing as high a level as I’ve ever defended,” says an SEC defensive coordinator who faced LSU in November.
quote:
“You’re not gonna stop them. Your best hope is just to slow them down and hope they make a mistake. You gotta hope for a few three-and-outs. This is gonna sound strange, but it’s almost like old Arena ball, where you’re hoping for just field goals, not TDs.”
quote:
No. 22 (Edwards-Helaire), that damn running back does a hell of a job,” says an SEC defensive backs coach. “If you don’t stop him, you don’t have a shot. I’d put him against any other SEC back. He makes two or three guys miss from Alabama and got the first down. Tough, hard runner. He almost always is making the first guy miss. He’ll run over you, too. He’s a real key to that deal. To us, he’s the real headache. They hit him out the backfield. He runs corner routes for touchdowns.”
quote:
The Jefferson kid is talented. I don’t think he’s elite, but when he becomes the third ‘thing’ that you’re talking about. He becomes a really good third thing. That’s where Oklahoma got some really bad matchups. He’s an NFL wide receiver — he’s not an ‘Oh my God!’ guy, but when you spend your game-plan worrying about other people, that’s when he becomes so effective. And that’s what Moss and Marshall are too. They’re talented players, don’t get me wrong. They’re not elite difference-makers, but they’re such an afterthought in the game plan because of how much time the other pieces take, they can get going, too. That, to me, is LSU in a nutshell.”

We consistently put Fulton and Stingley on island with no help. Teams consistently shy away from throwing at Fulton. Surely they don’t throw at Fulton because he’s “just average.”

Delpit is a great player if you just let him play centerfield. He struggles in coverage and is horrible in open-field tackling.

The SEC coaches completely avoided throwing to his side of the field, then don't put him on their All-SEC Team and now want to talk smack. Pathetic.
This really is sad

Just more fuel to motivate this already motivated group! I love all the critics it just makes it sweeter when we show up and show out! Jacoby, Fulton, Stingley and Jefferson have been super CLUTCH for us. I will take all of them over whoever’s on those coaches teams. Geaux Tigers!

I neve believe this anonymous coach crap.

AJ Greene
Has 10 more receptions, 300 more yards, and 1 less TD than JJ with 6 more games played.
All pending JJ's performance next week. I know it's not all about stats, but I'd have to hear the intangible reasons why AJ is a tier above JJ at this point.

I mean I think Stevens is a really good player but I basically agree with this.

mean...the guy said he wasn’t elite. It is what it is. That was the part of the quote that stuck out.
He’s not really elite tho. The whole quote is accurate. It’s not really an insult in context
And look, I called Jefferson an nfl player all last year and said he would leave early & got a ton of push back.
I just don’t see why it’s hard to be reasonable

Come on, seriously? It’s funny how we, as a fanbase, used to constantly preach that we had better players even though the stats might not reflect that because of different systems. Now we have an elite system, where we put up great stats, and our fanbase wants to use those stats to make the same claims we would have used to shoot down and laugh at.
Jefferson is awesome. He’s a very good SEC WR. He’s not AJ Green. And that’s not a knock. AJ Green was a top 5 draft pick, Jefferson is a round 1/2 guy. That’s incredibly good, but there’s definitely a tier difference there.

Didn’t really have any beef with those outside of the Fulton and Jefferson
So almost half of the quotes posted..
What's your source say on CEH for next week?

anonymous means made up BS by a lazy lying reporter.

He has elite ball skills, route running and shiftiness. There are almost no receivers that are elite in every single category. Top end speed is probably where he’s lacking, but Michael Thomas has shown you don’t need that to be the best receiver in the NFL

JJ would be a top 10 guy if he had played his freshman year.
You don't have to be salty about it. Jefferson has shown all the skills of an elite WR this year, and had nearly 900 yards last year in an offense not exactly built for outrageous receiving stats.

All I know is half this board complained and agreed with 3 of those 5 quotes, and now we're slamming all of them

What a bunch of pussies. Sore pussies from getting pounded by LSU.

This is just patently false. There’s literally never been a situation where an NFL team doesn’t pick a guy in the top 10 because he didn’t play his freshman year. He’s got two full seasons of tape. If he was a top 10 talent, he’d go top 10. There have been plenty of top 10 picks who only played one season at the college level.

Not salty about it, I’m just realistic. I love JJ, he’s incredible. But he’s not an AJ Green type talent, which very few are.
