    Some LSU and SEC related stuff...

    Chris (Lacey, WA): Better NFL QB, Aaron Rodgers or Jay Culter?

    SportsNation Todd McShay: (2:04 PM ET ) Cutler. He's bigger, stronger and smarter. His arm strength is excellent and his accuracy will only improve with better coaching and polished mechanics.

    SportsNation Todd McShay: (2:05 PM ET ) Cutler is clearly the best QB at the Senior Bowl this week, and it's safe to say that he's making ground on Matt Leinart and Vince Young, the top-two QB prospects in this year's class right now.

    Tom (Ithaca): What's your take on Greg Blue? He's got a surprisingly low scout rating for someone who's such an athletic ballhawk. Is he raising his stock much?

    SportsNation Todd McShay: (2:07 PM ET ) This week has helped me confirm my initial thought that Blue will be a better fit as a WLB in the NFL than he will be at DS. Blue is a big-hitter with good instincts in run support, but his range in coverage is poor and his hands are miserable.

    SportsNation Todd McShay: (2:08 PM ET ) I think Blue will land in the second round to a team like the Colts or Bucs that use smaller personnel on defense and can use Blue at OLB.

    Tray Lake Charles, LA: How is Joe Addai of LSU looking and where do you see him going in the draft?

    SportsNation Todd McShay: (2:09 PM ET ) Addai has looked FAST. He is a versatile back that catches the ball well. When he turns the corner as an outside runner, Addai is gone. His lack of production in college and his durability issues will hurt him on draft day, but I think Addai will come off the board in the second round.

    Teach (Tallahassee): Do guys get made fun of if they get burned in practice? Or is that off limits because it's so serious?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:19 PM ET ) It's real serious out there. When guys make a big play, you still get up and congratulate him. You still shake hands and say good coverage or good play and move on.

    Dean (Boston, MA): What game did you feel you took the most out of you and was the most physically demanding?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:20 PM ET ) The most physically demanding was Tennessee. A whole bunch of guys ended up getting IVs at halftime. It took so much out of us at the half to where when we came back out, we just couldn't produce the same way.

    Mike (Sudbury, MA): Skyler, what round do you see yourself being drafted?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:21 PM ET ) It's hard to say right now. It's still early. But I think if I have a good combine I can see which team is more interested in me.

    Justin (CHICAGO): What N.F.L. W. R. do you compare yourself to? Why?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:22 PM ET ) Steve Smith. He has really paved the way for short guys. Scouts look at height a lot but Smith has really opened the door for us short guys as WRs.

    Loomis, tuscaloosa: Whats up with just 1 sticker under the eye?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:23 PM ET ) I don't know. I just thought I would do something different. I see guys wear 2 so I thought I would wear 1 as my own thing.

    Matt (Jackson): Skyler.. how does it feel to be on both ends of a heartbreaker.. UK and Iowa??

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:25 PM ET ) For the Kentucky game it was a great expereince to see how the game is really never over until the clock says 0:00. For the Iowa game, I really didn't play in the Kentucky game but the Iowa it was my junior year and I was just coming off my injury and getting back to full speed. I scored two second half TDs and make a big kickoff return. I probably would have gotten MVP if we had won. I was mad we lost. I've never been the MVP of anything at LSU so that would have been neat.

    jon (pa): what is it like being on the same team as your rivals from the regular season?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:26 PM ET ) It's pretty cool. You talk trash when you play agains them but now we have to work together and be best friends. It's a great experience. A few weeks ago I was going up against these guys now we are hanging out together.

    jessica: Which of the South's quarterbacks are you more comfortable with? Why?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:27 PM ET ) I like all three of them. But I'm more comfortable with Brodie. He has been in this offense before. It's easier for him to pick things up. He knows the reads and things like that.

    shaylon, birmingham, Alabama: 1st thing you're going to do with that NFL money?

    SportsNation Skyler Green: (3:29 PM ET ) Once I sign the contract, if I stick with them for awhile, I might buy and home and think about getting married. That's about it.

    Thanks for the questions. Geaux Tigers!

    those first few games this year when addai was completely healthy, I still maintain he was about the fastest rb i've ever seen for LSU when he turns the corner.

    i think crawfish pointed out his ability to walk the sideline at full speed as well which is very true. its pretty much an art I suppose.

    i sure hope he can stay healthy in the nfl. good kid and a great competitor.


    good stuff, thanks.
