re: Trindon

I feel that when we finally do get holiday in the game they know he will touch the ball so he is keyed on heavily. Why don't they put him in a lot more where they won't key on him so much and we can surprise our opponents more! Just an opinion!

why not throw him a go route? if he can catch a kickoff and punt he should be able to catch a deep pass
Catching a pass over your shoulder while running full speed with an SEC corner draped all over you is worlds apart from fielding punts and kicks.
Besides, if I'm a DB and Trindon lines up wide on me I press him, knock him on his arse and immediately remove him from the play.

I am sick of reading about how Trindon should be doing more of this and that. Everytime I see him in the game he does nothing when he gets the ball. Having all of that sprinter speed does not mean a damn thing if he does know how to use it.
Another thing, he is not going to be a deep threat. Get that out of your thick skulls.

I don't know if anyone else notices it, but every time Trindon touches the ball, if one finger touches him, he's usually tripped up and goes down fairly easy..

Yeah, but that is after he runs backwards or side to side and then ends up getting a loss on the play.

He needs to be in the game more, but he doesn't have to get the ball every time he lines up. To be effective, we can't allow the defense to know that #8 is gonna get the ball just because he's in the game.
That's why I'm not a big fan of the situational substitutions with the RBs. Based upon personnel, I'm able to guess the plays we're running, or limited to running, with pretty good accuracy. If I can do it, then I'm sure an SEC defensive coordinator who is breaking down film for untold hours can do it even better.

Trindon is twenty pounds lighter than the Florida RBs. He gets tossed around like a rag doll, they do not. Its pretty simple.

Sadly, I have also come to that conclusion.

Has anyone ever noticed that on kicks and punts he does a lot of side to side and jitterbuggin' than just turning the ball upfield and cutting? When Domanick Davis and Skylar Green were returning kicks, they didn't spend a lot of time trying to go side to side. All they'd do is make the first guy miss and then turn up field and get as much yards as they could. The more jitterbuggin' you do, the more time the coverage has to get to you.
Just sayin'....................................................

Recently, a Gator fan on this board posted that Holliday was a track guy who played football ... while Demps and Rainey were football guys who ran track. No disrespect to Holliday, who's fearless on the field, but that's the difference.

No time like the present. Arkansas, the bowl game and the practice in between offer LSU a great opportunity to devise and incorporate new wrinkles into a near stagnant offense. If Crowdon is the genius many purport him to be then he should easily be able to implement not only Holliday but Keiland, Murphy, Mitchell and Tolliver more effectively in an aggressive, attacking offense. He needs to, IMHO, energize his weapons with fresh thinking and a hybrid of our current offense and one patterned on what they're doing in the Big12 and at Florida. I'm not saying we should throw the ball 72 times like Troy but that game sent a clear message about what an aggressive, well coached, spread can do even when you're not blessed with elite athletes. Ya know why Spurrier was so successful at Florida with the 'fun n' gun'...because he presented prospective athletes an opportunity to make big plays and win, ie., to have 'fun.' Guys like Ruben Randle and Joe McKnight see this and they choose accordingly.

Partialy right Panzer. Even tho' Holliday does not possess your prototypical football frame he does have speed to burn, considerable talent and desire. He played an awful lot of football in high school and as we've seen on a number of occasions he can be highly effective when going verticle. The problems start when he begins to go lateral as even someone with his quicks can't outrun SEC pursuit. When he is headed upfield all it takes is one miss or two good blocks and he is gone..when he goes lateral or is asked to run a reverse he becomes easy prey to an athletic and prepared defense.

I saw that too...he should never be set up as a wide because of his height and the defender can use the sideline as backup. Line him up at H-back and I defy any defense to not cover him deep middle (forcing man on the wides) or to not bring safety help for lbs trying to cover him on underneath or crossing patterns. Crowdons too busy devising trick plays when he should be using what we have to full advantage.
