    I know he's that good. The fact that he can catch makes me wonder why he is at LSU. We haven't had many of them around. Thanks coach :miles:.

    Me too, in fact I was thinking of him more as a weapon than a safety valve.

    If they use him to capacity, that will open up the run and wide receivers. Its not like you need a QB with a cannon arm to hit a good tight end, how many times will he be deep. the short routes will do us some good this year with Dickson.

    Yes indeed, as they did last year. Dude had 32 receptions.

    He brought me A LOT of points in the TFF. :wink:

    Just add him to the list. We have plenty of firepower at the skill positions this season.

    I guess I meant safety valve in a sense that since we are so talented at the WR position, I still don't think alot of teams will be focus primarily on him at any point during a game. Add to that getting Keiland and Richard Murphy involved in the passing game as well.

    Very, very well done by CFN. They really did their research. The depth chart is actually right.

    The only thing I remember disagreeing on (I read it early this morning) was on Ricky Jean Francois - he will be a top 5 talent!

    I agree and didn't mean that as a correction to what you said. In fact, I figured that was pretty much what you meant- just thought him being a "Weapon" was more of an intimidating way of expressing it. :hihi:

    Tiga I cant condone the use of humans as weapons. But safety valve has a good meaning to it.

    I condone the use of safety valve.

    I am CalcoTiger and i would appreciate your vote and i approved this message.

    Wait a minute i am not running for anything.

    Use weapon if you want tiga.

    The way I read it, they were justing saying that RJF won't be a top 5 pick in the NFL draft like Dorsey, and RJF won't finish in the Heisman voting like Dorsey. That seems reasonable to me. To me, RJF will just be one of the outstanding defensive lineman that LSU has had since the Dinardo days... but I don't expect him to be at the Dorsey level. Guys like Dorsey only come around once every blue moon.
