The guy had sick potential. Being how this is entirely hypothetical in the first place, why not throw his name out there?
Because he would be kicked off the team before the season started anyway - so it would be pointless to put him on it.
Good picks! I was thinking about Michael Brooks on defense as well. and I was really torn at offense as I was thinking either Dalton Hilliard, Eric Martin, Michael Clayton or Ben Wilkerson...
Hey, great idea for a pre-season thread! Makes you think, sparks some debate...it's all good. On offense, I believe that no single player can have more impact on an offense's fortunes than the QB. An excellent QB---which, in college, usually means someone w/ a 62% or better completion rate and at least a 3.5-1 TD to INT ratio---can and will open running lanes for a RB more easily than an excellent RB or excellent WRs can create opportunities for a mediocre to bad QB. Anyway, based on LSU history, it's a toss-up between Tommy Hodson and Matt Mauck, but I give the edge to Matt due to greater mobility than Tommy. You put Matt Mauck on the field this season and have him hit his 60% completion and 3 to 1 TD to INT and this offense rolls (plus, his mobility helps him get out of jams should the OL take time to jell this year). This is not a knock on any of the current QBs; rather, it's placing a known commodity in a position where, if you get outstanding output, it makes the other 10 players better overall. So, on offense, it's Matt Mauck. Defenses really don't have a single "impact" player, but I'd guess the best bet for this defense would be one of three positions---DT, DE or LB. Not sure why, just a gut feeling, but I keep thinking Michael Brooks on defense. He'd be a terror coming off the edge, with his superior athleticism. He'd create real distruption in a backfield, enough to throw off timing routes and such, plus he'd cover RBs out of the backfield like a blanket.
This is a suggestion far out of the extra ordinary.....How about Bennie Brazell .......He was good for the long ball a lot last season......And besides i liked watching his High step after his TD catches hahaha
