to say that our TE development was garbage is ignorant.

how about dead last in the SEC in TE put into the NFL? LAST. The only position group at LSU to not produce a pro.

quote:

---

Case in point, Dillon Gordon. He played TE for us and has now been an NFL OL the past 2 years

---

That's all you got to defend a decade of TEs. One 330 pound practice squad guard.

quote:

---

LSU TEs have not been prospects because TEs in today's NFL catch a lot of passes.

---

False. LSU TEs have not been prospects because they have been abominable.

quote:

---

how is that Ensminger's fault?

---

uh, because he's an offensive coach.

quote:

---

Underperforming is not the same thing as underutilized. Our TEs have blocked well and done well when their number was called to catch a pass

---

Our TE production and player development has been GARBAGE. How many LSU TEs are draft prospects?

quote:

---

Is it your opinion that he has no knowledge of college offenses since 1992?

---

No knowledge? Is that the standard we want here?

Is he optimal to coach QBs in 2018 at a major college football program?

Is he the top half of QBs coaches?

quote:

---

has coached QBs as recently as 2008

---

This is supposed to be an argument in favor of him as a QBs coach?

Nobody said he can't produce a QB at LSU. that's an opinion.

It's a fact that he hasnt produced an QB at LSU.

Why do people go about attempting to proclaim him as an expert QB coach?

Either one of these two things must be true:
1.He has been coaching QBs (also TEs) at LSU and they have sucked (both TE and QB).
2.He hasnt been coaching QBs because he is not considered to be a good enough QBs coach.

those are facts.

quote:

---

Dude, Ensminger was a QB and has coached QB's like Eric Zeir of Georgia, and will be the QB coach at LSU.

---

What QBs have we developed in Ensminger's 7 year tenure at LSU?

You're citing a QB that played in the early 90's

quote:

---

I mean, who are you going to pick up this time of year?

---

Probably Bryce Harris, who has been signed by the team and released twice already this year.

quote:

---

Outside of suspension, when a player is under contract they are paid their entire contract.

---

being on the non-football injury list is different.

quote:

---

If they were to cut him, he would count $9M against the cap.

---

I think it would go to arbitration under the CBA. Reportedly have a medical opinion that he can't play again, so saints may argue retirement provisions apply.

either way, I expect the saints to void the contract, take it to arbitration, and at least get SOME cap relief. I highly doubt Fairly gets the full guaranteed portion either. His lawyer and agent should settle with the team for something of a discount.

Fairley will be placed in the Non-Football Injury list and will presumably fail his team physical.

At that point, I think the CBA can put the issue into arbitration. The saints will get some cap relief from the guaranteed portion.

I'd explain why this doesn't equate, but won't.

Antonio Pittman is certainly the exception and I highly doubt the situation would be repeated, but there is the precedent.

Draft picks still have to produce in camp and the preseason, unless they're 1's or 2's.

no way to know months ago who would be available on the draft board.

maybe preliminary talks, but Loomis taking Watson was still more than a minimal possibility.
