Only play that sticks in my mind with Loston is when he tried to absolutely kill his cousin "Shep" in the UA All American game!
Anyone have a link to that? I want to see it again

That hard head will lose with a Sr. before letting an underclassman sniff the field, in general.

What underclassman that was CLEARLY better than a senior has been denied playing time under Miles?
Not what underclassman was more hyped by fans and media, but CLEARLY better and denied playing time simply because he was an underclassman.

A better way of looking at it is how badass would we be if Pete Carrol was at LSU. IM NOT A PETE CARROL FAN. But one reason you hear about all those stars at USC is b/c Pete had no problem starting a freshman if he was better, meanwhile LSU's benching our superstars.
HOLY SHIAT!!!

I must have hallucinated all the freshman last year who got more playing time than some less talented sophomores juniors and seniors. I guess PP has been sitting on the bench the last couple of years behind J'ai, don't know how I missed that.
Seniority doesn't win with miles. Talent alone just doesn't make you an instant starter unless you have the instincts to back it up. Which is also how it works with every team. LSU fans just love the young players with raw talent, nevermind that if they don't know their play book well enough they won't be as successful as guys with less talent that can run plays. (See: RS causing mass confusion on the field multiple times last year.)
LSU fans should just stick with the the obvious and correct critiques, bad play calling, bad clock management, questionable personel use on the OL, ect.

Did you see Russell Shepard get a single touch in a Washington game we struggled? I could name specific cases of one on the field and another on the bench but not going to slam one of our players to prove a point.

why did Miles bench RS in the MSU and UGA games? He was by far the best player on our offense and we decided he shouldn't touch the ball the rest of the game
Don't give me he doesn't know the plays bullshite. Teach him 10 plays

Did you miss the multiple TOs we had to take last year when RS was in? Or the plays (I saw at least two, there had to be more I didn't see) where RS had to go back to the sideline after a play and explain why he did something wrong?
RS was confused with assignments last year. That that was obvious and yet the coaches still gave him as many touches at multiple positions as they did shows how desperate they were to get him playing time.
(Now the more legitimate issue was did we use him in the right ways on the field? He probably should have gotten at least a couple more opportunities at WR, and a non draw play at QB would have been nice.)

Loston is younger so he is better, Jai is so three years ago.

Doesn't matter if it is a coaching issue or not. Really the coaches should take the blame if they put a player in the game and he is confused, but that personal blame coaches must take accounts for why you don't send a confused player out more often.
I can't imagine Saban, Meyer, ect using such a player in such circumstances anymore than Miles and Crowton did.

Somewhere along the line, this thread took a wrong turn.

How about you name the player that got toasted by Tebow's "take one step toward the middle of the line then step back and throw a touchdown pass" bullshite at Florida in 2006? I'll give you a hint: it wasn't a senior, junior, or a sophomore.
