My first memory of LSU football was when we had Dalton Hilliard and Gary James. Even when we were horrible, we had those super 5 RBs ('94). When I was a freshman at LSU in '95, a guy that I grew up playing against (Kevin Faulk) was the nation's #1 high school RB. Even though Faulk became on of the best ever at LSU, there are still many that said he wasn't the best during his time (Cecil Collins). When LSU won the championship in '03, their stud freshman (Justin Vincent) couldn't even get on the field much after that. Yes, it's fair to say that LSU has had some good RBs over the years.
The coaches are saying that we don't see much of Louis because we are running more 4-2-5 schemes and I think Debo will improve his open field tackling skills. He has been one of our leading tacklers but he has missed on some open field tackles, primarily on 3rd down situations that really stood out. Some times, he just needs to slow down a little and make a good form tackle, rather than going for the kill every time. Same with Adams. They are badass when they make the play, its huge and gets the D pumped up, but killer when they miss the tackle all together too.
Joseph Addai wasn't too shabby either. We've always had good college running backs. More of them are going to the NFL under Miles.
Who is Debo? Is that Beckwith? I don't think the mike has been the issue, sam and will have. I really hope Les and company go out and get some fucking studs at linebacker because that position has no depth. When Beckwith leaves after this year we have who? Feist, Alexander, Riley, and Voorhies? Yikes, that scary, and that's if Feist isn't a senior. If KB were to get hurt this year, holy shit would we be in trouble.
Why is he called Debo, just because his name is Deion? He damn sure doesn't resemble Debo. Jones is fast, Debo was just a chain and bike thief. I don't mind Deion Jones, he was a really good special teams player and he played a lot better coming off the bench than he has starting. Maybe this suspension for a half will light a fire. You gotta admit though, we are ridiculously thin at linebacker.
Deion Jones. We are in trouble at LB next season unless they can convince Beckwith to stay. Even then we are very thin. We need a big LB class soon.
