There is no "middle manager" here.....a few partners....besides, upper management usually has a big picture view....that's my view of LSU....most people in high level positions share that view, and don't have knee jerk tendencies...with your doctorates and all, I'm sure you could understand how knee jerk tendencies could present a problem for someone in a high ranking position?

knee jerk?

I posted statistical anlyses on this board about Miles.

You post about his awesome.

Tell me "3 location manager" which one is knee jerk? The one with an analysis supporting the conclusion, or the one who "just knows"

I hope you get laid next time you go to Lauberge, sounds like you could use it

I infer you throw around "exceptional" very casually. If they were "exceptional," they they would be winning some individual awards, yet neither will be on the radar for awards. They have both been average at best. "Exceptional" defensive ends get several sacks at the very least.

Compare Hunter's junior year statistics to Barkevious Mingo's:

Hunter (2014) - 64 Tackles, 12 TFLs, 1.5 Sacks, 1 FF, 1 FR (TD), 6 PBUs

Mingo (2012) - 38 Tackles, 8.5 TFLs, 4.5 Sacks, 1 FF, 2 FR, 3 PBUs

- Keep in mind -- Hunter was injured in the last game and missed well over half of it, and there is still a bowl game to add to these numbers.

You can't judge a DE only by sacks. I know that many fans will because that's the easiest and most superficial way to judge a DE (and it involves the passing game), but there are many other ways that DEs make an impact on the game. You want to talk about important statistics? RUSHING DEFENSE! Go look at where National Champions rank in Rushing Defense. Look at the Rushing Defense Statistics for LSU's best teams. Many people just don't understand this, or ignore it. You are a fool if you don't see Hunter's value as a defensive player. He made Big Stops all year.

Now, the NFL is somewhat different because it is mostly a Passing League -- so pass rushers are more valuable. As a pass rusher, Hunter still has room for improvement. He also has a lot of developmental potential as a pass rusher -- mostly power potential, because he still has considerable growth potential on his frame. He already has very good playing strength at a low weight, so if/when he gets bigger and stronger, he will be able to overpower offensive linemen and use his speed to get to the QB. The one area that is sort of a natural drawback for Hunter is his contortive movement -- specifically, fluidity and contortion on turn-the-corner moves to get to the QB. Now, that can be improved, and technique can overcome some of that, but he has somewhat of a natural rigidness to his movements. However, he does have good speed. That's why, in my opinion, it would be beneficial for him to gain some weight, and improve his playing strength, so that he can be a high-level Power-Speed-Explosion guy. If you look at a guy like DeMarcus Ware (who is about twenty pounds heavier than Hunter), he can oftentimes just lock his long arms out, and collapse a passing pocket by overpowering offensive linemen. DH doesn't often try to do that, but I think he could potentially do that as he gets bigger and stronger. Hunter's go-to move is to generally lead with his shoulder to try to jolt the offensive lineman back, and that has been an effective move. That move would also be improved with more size and strength. And with his frame, he's the type of guy that could be more explosive and possibly faster if/when he gains weight.

Also, Hunter has been very good at getting his hands up and knocking passes down at or around the line of scrimmage. That's something that can have a big impact on games, especially against teams that run a lot of short, quick passing plays, which for the most part, negates the opportunity for sacks.

Why not? And give Miles a raise too ........ !!
