re: True or False: Al Woods' biggest mistake - choosing LSU

becuase I seem to remember he did well in the bench press at the combine.

he was in the low 20s

a 2-gap DT should be in the 30s

coaching: he wasn't coached technique until his senior year

This is obvious. The whole team suffers from this. I wonder what goes on in practice. Is it worth $3.7 mill?

A lot more things could go into this situation. When he played he played on two of the more softer defenses we have had since 2000. We might as well go down the list of every 5 star that doesnt pan out and say going to said school was the biggest mistake of their life. People completely forget the other things a player could get from a university other than playing football.

There are many : 5 star recruits that don't do well in college Who comes up with these random ratings. How many people that win the Heisman are flops at the next level. WHY???????

Okay thinks for that informatin and that is what I have thought about him all along. For his size he is weak and not able to use his bulk to keep shorter stronger players form getting under him. That is hard for a coach to over come. If his work ethic in the weight room is not good he is screwed. Is it the coaches not getting on there arse to get them motivated I don't know maybe it's some of both, but to put it squarley on coaching in my opinion is wrong.

What kind of coaching experience do you have to make these proclamations?



dude just go look at the history of the draft and monster DTs. they put up reps

Translation: I have no coaching experience and I am pulling everything I say out of my arse.

We have better defensive coaching now than Malleveto.

5 star who under achieved.....


Go frick yourself!

I dont know why everyone's jumping on SFP. It's rightful criticism. Al Woods was a legit NT prospect, and LSU failed to capitalize on that. Mainly because of the scheme, we prefer two one gappers instead of a one gapper and a two gapper.

True. Not that LSU is bad coaching, but either you adjust your scheme to the talent you recruited or recruit only talent that fits your scheme. Plain and simple.

This has always been my criticism of Miles' recruiting tactics. They get highly rated players and then try to make them something they aren't and force square pegs into round holes.
