I know we have 3 more games left, but what is your assessment of the team/coaches so far.

-D. Coordinators- GOTTA GO! They can handle a simple I-form team like Alabama, but spread offenses torch our defense. Ole Miss/Troy/Arkansas all have the ability to put up a bunch of points on our defense. Defense constantly looks confused/out of position/etc..
-J. Lee-too much to type.
-Rahim Alem- WOW!
-LSU recievers-a big letdown (except for Byrd).
-Linebackers-Riley looks good, Shepherd can get better, Beckwith still playing hard.
-RB's-Scott is a beast. Williams playing much better as of late.
-O Line= playing well
-D Line= major disappointment
-DB's- I thought they would be better. Jai just doesn't have it. P.P playing well lately.
-Safetys- might be the BIGGEST dissappointment.
-Crowton- I'm not a fan of some of his play calling, but we are moving the ball.

Byrd's invisible, apparently, so what does it matter?

Where the hell do you come up with this notion? All that I can recall of Jai fricking up is when he slipped against Georgia, and Hawkins slipped against Bama.

Ryan Baker- the future is bright with this one (if he ever gets to play)

It is hard to impress when you never get the ball thrown to you. He gets open play after play and Lee will never look to him. I really think the team is losing or has lost confidence in Lee.

I thought the defense had their best game against Bama. I like the play calling of Crowton against Auburn. I think they should take more risks as they did then. I think there is talent, but as many have said, they are young and inexperienced. So, it seems to go better when they do the unexpected. The suprise element

The defense as a whole has been a huge letdown for me. That said, some players have shined.

On offense, I just wish we'd stop putting the game in Lee's hands.

Steven Ridley- is a beast and prob should have played some against Bama. Methinks we may see a Ridley train against Troy.

I realize that but at the same time even when he gets thrown to he looks like he just doesn't give a shite and isn't trying much.

Watch the replay last night, he never went and talked to Lee after throws and if they were just a little off he didn't try and make a play on it. Then watch LaFell, anytime there is maybe some miscommunication or something he goes and talks to Lee and tries to get shite straight. Byrd just goes over to the sideline.

Like I said, I think the team is losing all faith in Lee. It's something in Lee's head that is screwing him up. He looks terrified out there.

So did expect Brandon Lafell to lead the SEC in Receiving Yards, Receptions, and Receiving TDs?

Because he's in third for all of those categories right now, yet no one here gives him any credit.

I just wish they would...I don't know...support him? He won't get any confidence back with his team crapping out on him.

HE HAD DROPS LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR HE IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT EVER GETS THROWN TO! LEE IS BAD AND NEVER THROWS TO ANYONE ELSE BUT IF HE DID THEY WOULDN'T DROP IT!

Jai and PP should be the starters IMO.

Taylor was holding his own when he was in there. McCray was just bouncing off guys on Sat. Coleman not doing terrible, but not doing well either. Why aren't we playing Francoi, CJ or Hatcher???

The whole passing game has suffered this year.
