Trindon Holiday not suited to play running back

What a great sprinter and return man, but as a tailback/specialty back on offense, he has done little. No doubt he has tremendous potential, but last year on offense he might has well been forgotten. 5.4 yds a carry isn't change, but to have him used on a lot of 2nd and 3rd and long.. its not productive. No more TH in the backfield.

he needs to be in more as a decoy. it's a little too obvious when he shows up that he'll be getting the ball

ok

I thought we would see the hook and lateral at least once more last year.

They def. could try to use him a little better this year, but he really is not a great runner in the traditional sense. He goes down pretty easily.

He isn't the best at hitting the holes. That is why he doesn't get that much playing time. That speed is great in the open field but the quickness of a cutback is just as important because that usually gets you in the open field. He will be fine as I am sure he and his coaches are working on it.

Personally I'd love to see us line up in the I with Shep at QB, Scott at FB and TH at TB... That would be a nasty triple option waiting to happen.

T Holliday, for his size, has one of the best break tackle abilities I've ever seen. He's strong as an Ox for a little dude, and he's slippery as hell. If they can get him into situations that work to his strengths, speed options etc...he is a valuable weapon and he needs to be utilized, IMO.

Put him on defense, he is the answer to containing Tebow...

pound for pound t. hol is one of the best RB is college ftbl. the problem is he is so far down the scale at 160 lbs dripping wet in a bath robe that he goes down easily with one arm. however, he did make some runs last year where he moved the ball forward after contact. lsu cant afford to give him the ball in the backfield more than 2-3 times a game due to the time constraints and we have bigger backs that we need to pound on the d-line.
best as a decoy and changing games as he did at ole miss 07, ark 06, s car big run 07, etc.
however, t hol is one of my fav players...and miles should get the ball in his hands multiple, multiple times per game simply due to his crazy speed.
he runs 26 mph for crying out loud!

yeah id like to have seen him carry it way more than he did... i can't think of very many games he even touched the ball on offense. i lol when i see midget hands... it's better than pick 6 city

get him in space, can he catch? i mean even a screen to him, blockers just get him a little crease and he's gone, wont take him long to get to the endzone either

the guy hasn't been used correctly since he's been at LSU, just once I wish Crowton would use him in a spread set givin it to him going away from the defense.

I like the hidden ball trick he ran a couple years ago. If he's kneeling down behind the O-line, he is invisible to the defense. 
Posted on 5/12/09 at 8:11 pm to HITMAN202
They need to use him like Florida uses Demps. Same kind of SPEED!
Posted on 5/12/09 at 8:14 pm to HITMAN202
Yeah, he needs to be used "in space" as a play-maker. Not as a running back who runs between the tackles...
