re: Why Is it Hard for LSU to Get A Feature RB?
Posted by thunderbird1100 on 7/26/24 at 7:47 am
There's no need to have a feature RB any more, you can still do that sure, but we had the best offense in the country last year without any type of feature back because had a dynamic QB.
People will point to teams like Michigan this past year with Blake Corum. Blake Corum averaged only 17 carries...

I feel like with our luck in the draft for 3B types we will just continue to portal in guys each time around :lol:...

Not sure if you're buying new or used but always look up rates manufacturers are willing to give if you start to narrow down the model you want.

Hurd has better stuff, yes he obviously didnt use that stuff very effectively, but they are drafting based on tools they can work with and Hurd has more of that right now....

[quote]From the way Jay talked about him in the interview on Mahtook's show and this being his draft year, I don't see him doing anything but being in the starting rotation from start to finish next season. May not get stretched out early in the season but I'd still expect him to start.

Cant really blame Herring here, thats a lot of dough for his body of work so far and in a great minor league org on top of that.
I thought he was going to get well over that slot but thats even higher than I was thinking....

You're right, he's obviously a schmuck who has never won much of anything.
Why would any program want a guy who

- Took over Central Michigan who had 5 straight losi...

"nearly", it's 90% of remaining contract, so not fully guaranteed
O got 70% of remaining deal in his buyout clause but his deal was for a lot les money and time and therefore to buy him out it was well under $20M even after getting an extensio...

Frankly I dont know how anyone can argue any job is a 4-year rebuild anymore. With the portal anything can be turned around rather quickly now. Sure, in the past before the portal where you had to rel...

Kelly isnt done with pretty much any result this season. He will get 4-5 years here.
Took us to ATL in year 1 with what was a pretty sizable rebuild job after what Coach O had done to the roster. Backed that up winning another 10 games last season.
No 8-5 wont get him fired, dumb outlook. He's...
re: really excited for Kaleb Jackson this year
Posted by thunderbird1100 on 7/23/24 at 2:29 pm
Really hope he takes the next step because the talent level there is best in the room IMO. I understand why Williams had the bigger role last year, but I think to maximize the run game and truly make it a weapon Jackson needs to be "that guy" at points for us. There's no more Jayden running 8-12 tim...
