Calm down JS. I only expressed sadness that he's lost his spot atop depth chart and is getting very little playing time. If you want to respond to someone who seeks to "axe" JV or any other player, please find an appropriate post and do it. Mine doesn't qualify.
Yeah cuz he has not played well at all. The offensive line of course did not block as well as they did tonight for him. But Addai, Caray and Broussard are making things happen with the smallest of creases. Vincent appears to need a hole the size of Louisiana in order to gain any substantial yardage.
RB is our deepest position and each back has own style (ie: JV= Speed?Slasher, AB=North/South punisher, JA=multipurpose) etc. I think the staff just rides the hot hand goes with what's working against a particular defense.
JV had 1 carry for zero yards and 1 pass for 6 yards. Definitely the lowest point of his LSU career individually. But if he is a true team player, he is really estatic tonight.
CNS is going with what's working right now. Broussard and Addai are the two leading horses at the moment. Saban said on his radio show the other night that Vincent's problem right now is, he's trying too hard to live up to his expectations after last season. He just needs to relax and play smart ball rather than trying so hard to make something happen. Also, the O-line needs a little help still...
You guys watching the game on TV didn't get to see it, but everytime LSU came out on kickoff coverage he was out there jumping up and down. Same with EJ Kuale on the sideline, him and Webster were running up and down the sidelines the whole night, it was cool to see.
The attitude amongst the RBs is impressive. You do not hear them whining and bitching about playing time. It is great to see JV on kickoff team. It’s great to hear and see players cheering for each other from the sideline. Same for the QB situation. Saban has done a great job of managing playing time expectations from players. :usaflagwa :laflagwav :lsug:
JV didn't get to carry the ball but he was still involved in the game. He made the tackle on the kickoff after the game winning score. He's willing to do whatever it takes for us to win.
