    Would like to see the tyrannasourus get a chance to compete for the punt return job. This kid has heart and will be as good as pp7 when he matures.

    Shepard would be a sick punt returner with his speed and quickness.

    Im in the boat that he needs more touches. Especially in the running game. He is so explosive. His talents have gone for a HUGE waste so far. His pass plays are a joke. The D already knows all we will do is throw flat, so they all over every pass play. Despite his talents, he wouldnt be too high of a pick simply because of his production here at LSU. So no matter what Im sure he will be back for a senior year. He seems like the type of kid that would be back regardless though.

    Well, RS only averaged 2 touches per game this year. It is clear that it is in his best interest as a football player to leave LSU.

    Personally I would line hime up in the backfield as a wildcat QB, and as a running back swinging out of the backfield for passes and screens, kinda like darren sproles.

    The Jet Sweep. It worked against Alabama last season, and Mark Barron made a tackle on Shep 20 or 25 yards up the field. Haven't used it since.

    I swear to you sometimes, I think Miles thinks games are really practice.

    He has the "WE ARE GONNA KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT" mentality, and then once a play works, we never see it again.

    I am still going on record as saying that I think Tolliver would have been a great WR IF he had a QB that was worth a shyt. We have had lots of WR's not put up quality numbers due to such poor QB play
