Hill is barely a year recovered from a torn ACL. I disagree that he’s done. He is almost certainly past his prime, but he is absolutely still very valuable due to his versatility and I think could come back better next year than this one. Does he still have enough juice in 2027? That’s the timeframe I question.

Other than an Independence Bowl game vs Notre Dame in the late 90s, LSU has worn YELLOW helmets in every game I’ve ever seen that wasn’t the white or purple helmets.

LSUs *ACTUAL* colors are Purple, White and YELLOW.
The color is absolutely penalty flag yellow.

I know we say gold, but it’s yellow. Silly, proud denial.
Austin’s problems are sloppy routes and a lot of drops. Maybe it’s not too late in his career for some quality coaching to help him make a Devery-esque improvement.
I’d argue he finally did get Drew a great defense from 2018-2020. Problem is that defense finally came along at the same time Drew’s arm was falling off the cliff.
Anyone who paid attention knew Payton was fantastic at tailoring game plans and schemes to his talent at-hand.

From 2019-2021, the Saints played 16 games being quarterbacked by Jameis, Taysom and Teddy. Their record in those games? A #1 seed-worthy record of 13-3.
I would argue Vele has established himself as a solid #2. That gives us a high-end 2 (Olave) and a mid-tier 2 (Vele).
Don’t want to pay Olave #1 money so I’d send him packing this offseason bc I’d bet he and his agent will push to get more than I’d like to pay him

Why so certain he’s a “stop gap” ?

He looks better earlier in his NFL career than sunshine did.

But Godwin is a much better player playing second fiddle to Evans

He’d be much more productive and AVAILABLE on this team. I’d offer Olave 80% of what Godwin is making, tops

It still should’ve been a turnover on downs though
But we never possessed it. Possession never changed hands so the Panthers still needed first down yardage which they did not get.
Why is it okay then to return blocked kicks for scores?

Is it only okay if the block is recovered behind the LOS?

This seems like a very bizarre, “why?” rule

Thought I knew pretty much all the rules. I guess shame on me for not knowing that one?
I can’t recall that ever being called, and I feel like I’ve seen enough blocked kicks to witness a recover or two…

Am I alone in this?

Yeah that was awful
Because he is a backup at best, and you need to get your rookie on the field in live action and try to figure out what he is before the draft in April.

I feel like most reasonable fans understand this. Not a difficult concept.
No, they’d correctly announce the play is not eligible to be challenged.
When they pick the flag up there is no penalty.

How is this any different than challenging a play with no holding call?
I guess you’re right. Kellen wanted 4 yards offense through 28:48 of the first half.

Silly me, thinking you should try to get yards and score points on every drive.
There have been deep routes all game. He hit a couple during DA prevent time. Not because Kellen finally “took the handcuffs off”

Completely missing the point. We’re not winning anything this year, it’s about building for the future. One of the most important things to do this year is to find out what you have in your 2nd round draft pick QB
