I think he should get at least 60% of all snaps as our RB, rotate Williams and Jackson with a hint of Emery/Cain until the show us something as the rest

Impossible to say. Depends on the game, the score, etc.

If LSU plays with a lead for most of the season I want Jackson to get a significant more amount of snaps than if we are in close games deep into the 4th quarter.

Should be a rotation of Diggs, Williams, and Jackson. Those three have separated from the pack in that room

Now
50% Diggs
30% Williams
20% Jackson

After Jackson has learned the playbook and is competent with blocking

40% Diggs
40% Jackson
20% Williams

We haven't even seen Holly yet, so I'd like to see him in action just to see what he's got. Probably not in any meaningful snaps.

And Goodwin, when healthy, looked like our best back last year. So personally, I think our most talented trio would be Diggs, Goodwin and Jackson.

With Emery's proven big play potential you have to give him a couple of touches per game at least

I agree that this is the best formula going forward. Though I'd take Cain out of the rotation unless LSU is up huge and milking clock.

I think the competition at RB has really helped each individual player. They know they have to prove themselves every time they go out there or lose reps to the others.

This LSU offense can be the best in the country (not exaggerating) if they can continue to get the RBs involved and rolling.

Unless he injured, if you haven’t seen him yet then you probably won’t

DIGGS-60%
WILLIAMS-30%
JACKSON-10%
EMERY-FUMBLES TOO MUCH
CAIN-Mop up duty when up big so best 3 backs don't get hurt.

That’s a good question if the game is close then probably 60% for now because his IQ is so high, Kaleb and Josh get 20%. But as the season progresses Kaleb will play more so eventually 40% diggs, 40% Kaleb, 20% Josh. Unfortunately John and Noah will be relegated to garbage time. No one can get in a rhythm if you play too many guys.

No percentage for me, feel the game out and go with the hot hand. We have a deep group this year, let’s keep them fresh and healthy.

He is far and away the best RB in pass protection.

I’m starting to see resemblance to Les Miles’ RB rooms. 3-4 solid RBs and the potential for 1-2 to dominate.

Hard to say because of how the flow of the game goes.
But…

Diggs 50%
(Far and away the best back. Runs angry and blocks the best out of the bunch.)
Williams 20%
(Man just gets yards, have to get him some touches on 3rd downs/red zone)
Emery 15%
(Toss him a swing pass and a couple carries a game)
Cain/Bradford 10%
(Short yardage for Cain and pass catching situations for Bradford)
Goodwin 5%
(Lost in the pack as of now bc of that injury… think he could be a good player if it wasn’t so crowded)

I’m sure it would never break down like that… most likely will just be Diggs, Williams, and Emery for the next few games barring injury.

Edit: left off Jackson like a dumbass but not sure what his usage will be in full SEC play… kid is a stud tho

Diggs as we drive
Jackson in the red zone
Williams/Cain on the goal line

Anderson, Nabers, and Jackson seem like a great trio of ball progressors on the ground once we hit the opponents 25

Jaden needs to stop taking so many hard hits.
