Offensive Coordinator. You know they are going to run it most of the time but, once in a while some play action pass will bite their arse. I was suprized to see J. Lee launch one from the endzone.

The kickoffs, now, are another story. Maybe that's what they're talking about.


That's what I've noticed. Not even close to being as good as last year but in their defense, last years kicking and coverage was stupid frigging good.

DL has been amazingly good, especially for their youth. So far they have been able to mask our weakness at LB. Hope it still applies for power running teams. (Bammer)

Beckham reminds me of Josh Reed, but with speed.

DL is the biggest surprise.

Kick/Punt returns still biggest worry. We don't yet have a solid return guy. TM7 can be...but scares the hell out of me when he doesn't call fair catch with half the other team in his face.

How about FB? Nobody was talking about James Stampley this season saying he's done at FB. GUY IS BLOWING PEOPLE OUT THE WAY!

Our running game has been successful thanks to his awesome play!

LSU kickers and punter's are kicking off they're back foot. Blame Lee.

Really, Field goal kicking we are in great shape.
Punting will be fine with Wing back.
KO's is the problem.

And before the season started if we were told that by far KO's is our biggest problem, I'd have been happy.

FB position has really come around too. Stamply has always been a hard hitter, but right now he not miss a block and the person that was blocked will be digging themselves out of the ground

Agreed 100%

DT-with Nevis leaving and the unknown with Brockers. Now we are 3 deep with Brockers, Logan, Anthony Johnson with no dropoff in talent.

kicking/punting....I didn't think it would be nearly this bad





punting is absolutely fine when Wing is in


But the issue is kickoffs...I still wonder if Wing can be called upon to do this when he comes back...we have got to find someone who can put the ball at least close to the goaline/5 yard line...

QB play has been pretty solid, and DTs have been better than I thought.

I am going with the obvious, but I have to say QB.
