i am starting to be curious about davenport and chris faulk acctually. We have retarded talent at the skill postion.

those workout numbers are really impressive. That is on par with trent richardson and noel devine. What is his 40?

Saw him quite a bit in highschool and then the spring game. He's shown the ability when given the chance to be a difference maker. He sliced through the 1st team defense in the spring like no one has in the first three games. Part of that was good blocking but he broke a lot of tackles that day. Don't know why he hasn't shined in fall practices but still think he has great potential. Also, I've seen him play about 4 or 5 games all together and only recall one fumble. Blue has looked pretty good, other than ball-security, but Ford may shine pretty good once he's given the chance in a real game. Some guys just play better when the cameras are rolling.

For the same reasons I wanted

1) crowton fired
2) shep to get more touches last year
3) keiland to get more touches the past 2 yrs
4) longeran at center last year
5) Blackwell on the line more last year
6) STOP RUNNING THE OPTION
7) to go after sentimore and get him at LSU
8) use shep against UF and bama
9) get our recievers more involved

10) not trying to pass against ole miss on obvious running situations and taking the game out of our most consistant players leg!

Les does not always know better!!!! Why can't you guys understand that. I trust most of our coaches but not Les Miles when it comes to putting the best talent on the field.

Ford is the best RB, Ridley is a close second. Miles doesn't see it yet.

Who the hell knows what is really going on besides Miles. Heck Ford probably doesn't even know.

I believe we will see some Ford in this game.

I have to believe that Ford either broke rules or has been injured or something and it just hasn't been let out. I say this because at one point Les Miles said that Blue hadn't necessarily passed Ford on the depth chart.

That said ware has one catch and one run and both went for pretty long yards. He might be a beast. Ford is pretty much known to be a beast running the ball, and I have been saying Ridley is a beast all along.

Ridley has looked pretty good and this is with defenses not being stretched. If we had a game were JJ threw for 250 yards are more Ridley wouldn't get as many carries but he would probably have just as many yards... just more exciting yards running over people and slipping tackles and such.

He does not.

If so, he doesn't know what he did or won't say.

I don't know, I just got a feeling about Ford. Ridley and Ford could be a deadly 1-2 punch with the other RBs sprinkled in there somewhere.

1. Because he's from Leesville, damnit.
2. To see if he can duplicate what he did in hs on the college level.
3. Repeat 1 and 2.

It is easy to see Ford and Ridley are quality backs, the two FR are young and fumble. For SEC play it should be mostly Ridley and Ford with some PT for the FR.

I was at the game. The people who were considered 1st team that day were switched back and forth and Ford ran through them no matter what combo was presented. NO ONE said Nevis played and Downs isn't 1st team. Again, he ran through the LSU defense like no one has in the first three games, including the 2nd teamers.

If you call fumbling the ball consistently, then yes, they are getting it done.
