    i think Skyler Green would make one hell of a TB. i know he's not that big, but that guy has great speed and balance.

    Vincent is a stud. By the end of his stay in BR, he will have more yards than either Addai or Carey. Those guys are great, but I think that JV has more potential.

    Skyler Played quarterback at L.W. Higgins. He ran the ball more than he handed off or threw however.

    Skyler should be used for the end arounds too, like devery, not a RB. I think Vincent is a good backup RB for now. I am still waiting for Addai to breakout and stop running into his blockers. I have to say that I am disappointed that the two frosh RB's have not played well. I was expecting more out of Broussard. I look for the Tigers to increase the vertical passing game more and pass more upfield. Lets hope the dropped passes start to decrease. Oh and both the backup tight ends need to learn how to catch too..

    Vincent seems to be at the place where Addai was last year. He just needs more playing time to get comfortable with his game, but has two guys ahead of him. Time will tell, but I like the looks of him so far.

    It seems to me that Justin Vincent is a good instinctive runner. Yes, he has the physical tools - size, speed, etc. But he also reads his blocks well, knows when to cut, when to accelerate. Seems to be fundamentally sound. All of this is very encouraging when you know that he has very little seasoning. I agree that he has the potential to be a great one for LSU

    Moot point ... don't think he'll play against Florida until late ... if at all. Justin is a fast & strong kid and will do fine if called upon late or due to injury. And, he's had time in the system ... just not game time

    let's not forget, we don't necessarily need 2 RB's to play a game....i have 100% confidence that Addai can play the same level for an entire game...the only thing i'm worried about is him fumbling and/or getting hurt

    If Saban holds Carey out (only time will tell), expect Saban to rotate Addai and Vincent so that he always has fresh legs in the game. Vincent does have all the tools, and big games will help him develop faster. Saban likes his backs fresh, and the breakdown on the # of carries for each back speaks to that. I love the way Vincent hits the holes fast, and his ability to juke down field. The kid is a stud in the making.
