I know someone on the team and Keiland is a gamer not the practice type.

I imagine he is trying to pump KW up. If KW or Ridley doesn't have a great game, this place will melt down. I don't believe JJ can carry us to a victory without a running game.

This Saturday KW will have 327 yards rushing with 4 rushing TDs plus another 73 receiving with 1 receiving TD. You heard it here first.

Effort bullshite, one of the problems with Miles, i saw all the effort I needed to see last Sat, been tearing up threads all year to see that good hard runner the ball. I hate it for scott but Keiland is very deserving...

He's got to perform against Ole Miss. If he establishes a running game like he did against Tech, JJ can start opening up the pass game


Hmm, similar to how he jump started the running game the second half of the season for J. Russell his freshman year in 2006. I think KW is going to be fine given the chance. Of course miles says he is going to feed him the ball, we have heard this in the past with other players. We shall see.

Why even have practice if your not going to get effort and concentration from the players?

If it is his effort in practice that has forced him to ride the pine so much, the blame is squarely on his shoulders.

The KW Bandwagon will be empty if he comes out flat against Ole Piss.

Lastly, I wish KW all the best because he has significant talent. Unfortunately, if his practice efforts are truly what we have heard about throughout his career, he will fizzle out soon in the NFL.

What does Miles and this guy have in common?


They have the same mother.


Both of them spew more bull shite in a 5 minute press conference than fox news does in a whole week.

KW ran well this past weekend, but it is very obvious why he hasn't gotten many carries the past few years. He finally quit the twinkle toes act this weekend and he got the carries..If he hadn't ridley would have gotten them plain and simple..

The last 3 years I have heard KW was lights out in practices and scrimmages besides a "rumored" fumbling problem. I will bet everything you heard about his practice habits were from the rant.

Lets see him continue to break the first tackle before we grant him any NFL talk...

You would lose everything. But alas, I have no link, and unless you, ready4something, have heard it, it must be a lie!

Porter decides who plays anyways, and if you think it is Miles' call, your an idiot.

Keiland must have busted a fat load in Les' wife's face or something to warrant such little playing time. I never thought it was possible to misuse a RB of his caliber for four straight years.

This. Some people are horrible in practice, but are big-time gamers. This could be the case with Keiland. Wouldn't surprise me if Les was a practice for your PT type guy.

It would be unfortunate, though. It's hard to be horrible in practice and still get PT in the pros.

What do you base his caliber on? His Rivals rating? His high school performance?

Miles, Crowton, and Porter watch these RBs everyday. Their job is hinged on the team's production, so why do you think they would leave KW on the bench if he was so unstoppable? Exactly, they wouldn't.

And all of the post about KW's production when he gets 9+ carries are hilarious. Perhaps he got more carries that day because he was hot. Perhaps, on the days when he had 6-7 touches, and all of you bitched, he was cold. The same people that bitch about Les and Crowton sticking with things that do not work are also adamant that KW get a mandatory amount of touches regardless of production. Amazing. The Rant at its finest.

Yet, after Keiland has been tearing La. Tech up and we're only up one score, we throw the ball 6 straight times on back to back 3 and outs. I just don't get it.



I could name numerous examples similar to this, but it would just really piss me off. Remember, In Miles-land its not what works, its what Les wants to work.

Keiland has had good games and has helped us in his career but he is not the better back out of him and charles. KW was a *5 ,but he was a 5th year senior.
