I saw him out in Willamantic last night, and he seemed to be having a good time.

It was garbage time and he is considered a bust up here in New England. The bit about him crying on the bench did him in with the Boston fans.

Offense
Still a relatively inexperienced QB situation
And snapping the ball to these QBs is a center with ZERO experince. Helms & backup Miller gone, T-Bob injured
Lose probably starting G, T, & C
Fullback with basically ZERO experience
Defense
Lose both starting DEs and if Alexander doesn't get med RS lose him, RGF, & Favorite
Lose starting ML & S
Special Teams

Hey, doesn't look like much. We can just reload. Yeah, that's what I said before this year.
Plenty of talent on defense, its all about coaching.
QB and O line is an issue.
How much experience does a FB need? I would have to think that is the easiest position on the field to learn. Not sure there is much read and react with a FB.
Overall I think experience is overrated in the modern age. Talent is more important.

I thought Dinardo was very approachable.
He really lost me when explaining why a punt return that went for almost 100 yards by saying that you cant blame the LSU players since most of them play offense and cant be expected to tackle well.
Only been through a few LSU coaches, but Dinardo really wanted love from the fan base.
depends on the line.

re: LSU at Arkansas Prediction Thread
Posted by Edawik on 11/26/08 at 12:39 am to mattchewbocca
A healthy Ark team could win.
The team taking the field on Friday is in real trouble.
Arky is more than just beat up.
Look at who is/might be missing the game.

Dumb assumptions about Ark
Posted by Edawik on 11/26/08 at 12:35 am
The Arky team that beat Auburn and Tulsa will not be playing against LSU on Friday.
LSU has its issues and an Ark team at its best this season could easily win on Friday.
Ark is very banged up right now. Michael Smith might be the most underrated RB in the SEC and wont be playing this weekend. Casey Dick had a concusion last weekend and his little brother Nate might be starting. Several players starting on defense for Ark were hurt in the last 2 games. Two DL starters were suspended this past week.
Ark has worse defensive numbers than LSU and they will be missing key personel
Dont assume that because LSU wins by 10 they fixed their problems. They're just catching a a young team that is really beat up.
If you like money take LSU -4.5

New SEC Television Contract
Posted by Edawik on 11/23/08 at 9:42 am
I know lots of people blame the LSU playing all their SEC games at 2:30 for the results. Not sure that point has too much merit, but does anyone know some of the details about the new contract for next year?
From what I have heard CBS will be airing a SEC national game of the week during primetime every week next year,and that ESPN will also have a SEC in primetime every week.
Anyone know what the deal is with that?

There is actually a little memorial dedicated to William T. Sherman on the present day LSU campus. Not many people know where it is, but when I bring people to the LSU campus I point it out.

re: What bowl do yall think LSU will go to?

I really dont think LSU is going to win both of their last 2. Truth be told, I am glad they wont have to play in the cotton.
re: Late night, LSU cobwebs, half-assed eval
Posted by Edawik on 11/22/08 at 2:03 am to jsmoke222000
IMO, LSU needs to go out and get the best D. Cor. money can buy. Get this turned around as quickly as possible, before the talent level drops off.
I've been thinking Music City Bowl for a long time now. I know the Cotton bowl has a new date and time that is better than the old 10am on new years day, but I still dont want to go there.
I want to go to nashville and play on new years eve.

LSU has had some major talent over the past 4 to 5 years. it's a program loaded with potential. If you look at results over the past 7 years talent at QB has been the major factor in results.
That being said, this years LSU team is not playing up to its potential. Not since Saban's first year has an LSU team so under-performed.

This is silly on so many levels.
First there are about 12 people on the team who have had the opportunity to catch a pass this year. Not as many called upon or capable of throwing one. WR's and RB's can earn or lose playing time based on performance much easier than a QB can. Its the nature of the position.
Secondly,
in 2001 MM only had a significant role in only one game that year. It was the SECCG, and basically he ran the ball up the gut the whole time. Phat Phil was too dumb to make a defensive adjustment, and when the LB's and secondary got sucked in trying to stop MM from running the ball MM completed what 3 or 4 passess set up by the running game?
Thirdly, MM was like 25 years old at the time. There is something to be said for maturity at the QB position.

Edawik,
If your secondary isn't playing well, there will be more rushing yards, also if the secondary is lacks in coverage then the short game will lead to mid range gains on simple passing routs.
If that happens you will not see the sacks, many sacks last season were cover sacks.
If your lbs are not picking up the assignments that leads to easy mid range passes being completed.
Obviously some of this falls into the chicken or the egg catagory, but some of the stats I listed have to put the microscope on the d-line.
For instance the 11 rushing td's (most in the SEC) cant all be because the opposing team ran through the secondary. Obviously if the secondary doesnt make a tackle rushing yards increase, but at the same time you have to consider why the runner reaches the secondary so often.
Again back to the chicken or the egg analogy, if a qb has too much time wr's will get open, if wr's are wide open a qb doesnt need time.
I stand by the fact that if presented the stats I listed and had no idea what team acumulated said stats, you would point a finger at the D-line.
I'm not even saying the D-line is any more culpable than the rest of the team, I'm just saying that they havent earned a free pass.
NJReb,
If your from NJ you will understand this comparison:

• Cicadas generally leave no lasting damage.
Once or twice every decade Ole Miss is somewhat of a threat.

dreaux,
I don't like to say this but, you do understand the game of football?
The D-line has been doing the best it could, with a very weak secondary and a lb corp that isn't near the top 3-4 in the SEC.
.
If the secondary is at fault then explain these stats?
Before the Troy game:
LSU ranks 6th in the SEC in rush defense
LSU is in a 3 way tie at 7th in the SEC for sacks.
LSU is ranked 12th in the SEC for redzone defense (Where teams run more than throw, 11 rushing TD's)
LSU doesnt have a single player outside of the DB's in the top 50 in SEC for tackles made.
LSU only has 2 players ranked in the top 21 in the SEC for sacks or tackles for a loss.
Granted LSU hasnt had many sacks credited as "coverage sacks". but they dont have many sacks period.

It is what it is. If the fans bail the media will call you out on it.
Reminds me of a story a LSU die-hard told me. He is one of those guys who hasnt missed a home game in like 35+ years and stays till the end.
UF was beating LSU in the early 90's by like 40+ points to UF and ESPN's sideline reporter Adrian Karsten went up into the south endzone to do a story on LSU fans leaving early. My LSU fan friend went nuts. I'm talking a guy in his mid 50's then, took a swing at Adrian and got arrested. It was several years later when Adrian commited suicide, and my friends response was, "Great, God D#mn that ignorant Son of a B^tch, I'm gonna mail a thank-you card to his wife"

OFFICIAL "I STAYED THE WHOLE GAME" THREAD
to those faithful students as well.
on a side note, i stayed to watch the players leave the locker room after the game, and i heard just about every player say thank you for staying. they were very grateful and appreciative.
So many times I've talked to seldomly used players who got in a blow-out game late who say the same exact thing. Most of the players are not deluded enough in thinking that the fans actually care about them personally, but they always express their appreciation for the people that stay to the end demonstrate their support.

Talent inherited by Saban - SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE (for a 119 team league).
Talent inherited by Miles - ELITE
Easy answer. Come on.
This might be mostly a jackass thread, but this one point caught my eye.
Saban inherited a pretty talented team. Keep in mind the coaching staff before him was lining up Craig Nall at WR at times as Josh Reed was sitting on the bench.
quote:
we have a lot of talent chasing people instead of covering people
True, this defense is very reactive, rather than pro-active.
quote:
wow dude you really want to stand by this statement?
I guess I would want to change that to dependent on coaching rahter than dependent by coaching, but yes I would stand by that.
Are you saying you disagree? How many times do you see a better coach come in to a program and see the team get turned around using the same players that couldn't win games?
Talent only gets a coach so far in this sport.

Very well said! Disrupt the timing of the spread and maintain discipline with containment while rushing the QB! A team with VERY fast, physical corners can defend the spread, and I think this is why Patrick Peterson will be All-american and help LSU win the SEC in 2010
Thanks Cracking.
I've read enough threads on this board to know that your not going to win any support by telling a person who purchased a ticket what they should or not do.
Personally, I've never left an LSU game before the team leaves the field. Regardless of the score, I feel as though the players (all of them) put in enough work throughout the year that deserves that much of my time. If a rarely used player gets on the field, sometimes for just a few plays, he deserves the same aplause as the starters.
Just my opinion, and I never even think about booing an athlete at any level of competition.

Do you really think that Troy is more talented than LSU? Troy was starting two offensive linemen that weren't even offered scholarships from Troy. (walk-ons)
There is probably no other sport more result dependent by coaching than college football.
