Perhaps they can teach him to turn the corner more smoothly. Notice how he slows up and chops his steps on the sweeps before taking it upfield. It reminds me of a novice in baseball trying to round first base and not doing it in full stride. He may just have to lean into the turn by dropping his inside shoulder.
I don't think ineffective is the right word to use. Compared to a guy like Harvin, who is way more multifaceted, sure, he's ineffective, but we are talking about two different players here. Trindon is essentially a miniature RB, he is not a threat to catch any passes down field, while Harvin turned into an outstanding intermediate receiver. I don't think Trindon is ineffective, more like easily neutralized because he's one dimensional. Some of our playcalling last season effected that IMO too, but from time to time Trindon has proved very effective when used properly on offense. As for Claiborne, he can certainly do some of those things also, but minus some of the top end speed. He's got way more wiggle and shake than Calhoun or Holliday though. There is no shortage of open field athletes, playmakers and return guys right now at LSU. With C. Tolliver in the mix too it is an embarrassment of riches.
Exactly, well put, this was my point. I think we are also seeing a "sophomore" slump for Crowton's offense as a whole. When Crowton first came here the opponents didn't know what plays he was going to run with what personnel. But now the opponents know our plays and more importantly, our tendencies when certain people are in the game.
Haha, I see your point after rereading both posts. My main point was that it's unfair to compare Trindon to Harvin.
