obviously he is 165 pounds soaking wet

I actually like his toughness and ability to get off his first tackler for a guy his size

artificial turf is his game... his speed and cuts are tailor made for it and he never gets to play on that surface

He had good runs in the Superdome and at Arky's art. turf. I think he'll excel if we afford him the right opportunities.

I'd like to see him used in a play similar to what Florida does with the underneath shovel pass to Hernandez

Have JJ run the option with Keiland and then have Trindon from the opposite side slot curling back down the line underneath for the pitch...

the LBs would never see him coming back underneath behind the lineman and they would over-pursue the play to stop the option... we have the line to open up the right holes..

I think it would work... but we obviously would need to use him more on the field as a decoy before you run it... when he comes in from the sidelines he may as well have a damn neon light on him because the opposing team knows he's getting the ball 95% of the damn time and they key on him

Every time he steps on the field he is doing one of three things.

1. Returning a kick/punt
2. Running a screen route (J Lee's favorite)
3. Running a toss

He hasn't done much this year because everyone else can see it except the people calling the plays. He's done nothing but get shut down this year with flashes of what he did the last two years.

stiff breeze knocks him down (not his fault, he's just tiny). He's explosive, but i think he should be used more as a decoy than anything, and it seems he's rarely used in that capacity


YOU JUST DESCRIBED MY JUNK.

that's because defenses key on him because they know he is going to get the ball and it's always in one of a very limited amount of ways

we have no creativity in using him IMO

Florida and Dan Mullen have been genius in finding creative ways of getting their speed guys the ball... Crowton, not so much

Exactly my point. Just because he is on the field doesnt mean we have to give him the ball. Hell I dont see why they dont just stick Lee and TH in and tell that speedy lil guy to sprint to the endzone and look up.

He is just fast. He goes down so easily it is rediculous. He can't run through a finger tackle. He has a chance to take it back every time he returns it though.

you do realize that LSU and Florida's offense are nothing alike, right?
