    You argued the same thing about Miles and Toliver last year. Shall I pull up direct quotes from Toliver(this year) stating exactly that?

    One more year, and you should be able to just cut and paste these next year after we pull in Reed and Seastrunk.

    In all fairness Issy, the LSU playbook IS more complex. He said he knows most of the playbook. Zone reads are not his strong suit, YET. Neither is blocking, YET. Seems he has the same problem the OLine has their.

    I think it's unfair to criticize him for not catching bombs when he hasn't even caught short passes to get him some rhythmn.

    I also think it's unfair to criticize the coaches for not keying on him for those short throws when we've been in dogfights all season long. But I also understand your reasoning of getting all the weapons ready for the next stretch of the schedule. I HOPE its more a case of lack of offensive plays for the season overall than neglect of the coaches. The running game is preventing us from controlling the clock.

    OMG?! What are you talking about?!?!?!?

    Chad Jones
    Brandon Taylor
    Patrick Peterson
    DeAngelo Peterson
    Derek Bryant
    Karnell Hatcher
    Josh Downs
    Drake Nevis
    Al Woods
    Ryan Baker
    Joseph Barksadale
    Jacob Cutrera
    Perry Riley
    Keiland Williams
    Russell Shepard
    Charles Scott
    Richard Dickson
    Jordan Jefferson
    Danny McCray
    Terrence Tolliver

    ALL of these players currently on the roster PLAYED and contributed their TRUE FRESHMAN season.

    WTF are you talking about??!?!?! Miles does NOT have a "reluctance to use underclassmen"!!! You're just fabricating something simply because you're unhappy. You probably NEVER even researched it. Just choosing to slap it up as another "negative about Miles".

    Do yourself a favor: Get the facts before posting garbage.

    Oh, and on a side note. Isn't Julio Jones the best wr on bama's team, mush less the SEC?

    Well, Julio the Great, has 7 catches on the year, for a whopping 120 yards. His yards land him at #26 in the SEC, and his catches don't even get him in the top 30.

    I wonder if bama is gonna call for Saban's head for so obviously squadering the most potent option on their team? I mean it's Zeus, Hercules, and then Julio right??? Saban's inability to get Jones the ball is a complete failure on his part. I hope he stops letting that poor kid down.

    Meanwhile, Toliver and Lafell are in the Top 5 in receptions, while in yards Toliver is Top 5, and Lafell is Top 10. And that silly Lafell is tied for 1st in TDs.

    :lol:

    had your fiber today?????

    as i said....for me CLM has a reluctance to put underclassmen on the field. my perception, maybe not grounded in facts, but mine nontheless.

    when i see a JV on the field when he shouldn't be, et al that fuels the perception for me

    i'm known here as a "sunshine pumper" and won't back down from that at all.

    not unhappy at all, in fact i've been known to call out a few of those who i felt unfairly criticized players unfairly, both on this forum and on the chat

    as far as posting garbage is concerned i guess that is in the eye of the beholder......i'll try to come up with somethingn that will give you a warm & fuzzy :)

    wow, there's some constructive discussion I was looking for and you don't even totally agree with my assessment.

    nicely done.

    Dude ought to take a page from your book instead of his nonsensical diatribes.

    I believe he has been hurt the past few games. Not sure if he played this weekend, didn't watch the Bama game much. He is for sure having a Sophmore slump so far.

    Characterize it as you like. Your premise has no basis in reality. I backed my statements up. You just get your panties in a wad when you get called out for trying to find yet another thing to blame Miles for. If you stuck to things that Miles actually did wrong or had control over, you might not get called out on it.
