Right, I don't get the lack of love for KW. Look at the number of carries he has gotten while at LSU: 2007 SEASON 225 -- Hester 70 -- KW 53 -- Holliday 45 -- Scott 35 -- Murphy 2006 SEASON 94 -- Hester 76 -- KW 74 -- Alley Broussard 57 -- Justin Vincent 46 -- Scott 14 -- Holliday 2005 SEASON 187 -- Addai 121 -- Vincent 59 -- Carey 25 -- Hester 2004 SEASON 142 -- Broussard 101 -- Addai 76 -- Vincent 28 -- Carey 20 -- Hester Carries as a Freshman at LSU: 76 -- KW (2006) 46 -- Scott (2006) 35 -- Murphy (2007) 20 -- Hester (2004) 14 -- Holliday (2006) Carries as a Sophomore at LSU: 70 -- KW (2007) 53 -- Holliday (2007) 45 -- Scott (2007) ?? -- Murphy (2008) 25 -- Hester (2005)
It looks like several people have the tigerdroppings mentality on KW. Folks, there's a reason why the coaches haven't yet spoken his name during fall practice.
fumbles haven't been THAT much of an issue for really any of the backs. He just has the worst hole recognition, is the worst pass blocker and has sagged behind Murphy in terms of receiving.
Maybe someone here will know the answer to this. So far in practice have there been any signs of a 3 back set? Possibly have Murphy (slot), Scott (FB), Williams (RB) with Byrd and Dickson/Lafell on the field? (Yes, I know this was suggested earlier in the thread, I think it's a great idea.) With Hatch's apparent love to throw the short / intermediate passes, I could see an offensive set up like this work really well. It gives you the most play makers on the field at one time while not asking too much from the QB. I know the pistol formation that Crowton uses is similar to this, the main difference being instead of a slot receiver he normally uses two true WR's set. Something along the lines of: WR (SR) TE LT LG C RG RT .........................QB FB .........................RB (Slot Receiver ) Denotes off the line. A few other options being bring in Lafell for RM / Dickson. Moving Scott to a spit back position. etc. etc. etc. Point being, it seems like for LSU's talent, the best options come from modified versions of the pisitol.
