Skyler Green Needs the ball in his hands

Re: Skylar Green Needs the ball in his hands

Skyler is a talented guy, and I think LSU has continued to underutilize him throughout his stay here. We all know, even the nation knows, how good he is on punt/kickoff returns in special teams, but the coaches haven't been able to use him enough in our offense. Reggie Bush isn't that good of a pure running back IMO, but it's because of the coaching scheme that allows him to maximize his abilities & be a play maker. I believe that Skyler could be used in many of the same ways as Reggie & be very, very successful.

My guess would be they didn't want to push Skyler's ankle to much during the first game, and I'm really hoping he becomes a force throughout the season.

 

skyler may be "healthy", but i dont think he is as fast as he was in 03. ginn and bush would have made more yards on a couple of those catches. hopefully he'll get back that last 1% that separates tds from just good plays.

 

We really need to work in some of those bubble screen type plays to Skyler.

They're few and far between, but there were a few last season.

By the way speedracer, the thread is about "Skyler".

 

Guys like Bush and Ginn and Xavier are definately speed guys. Skyler is more of you "quick" type of player. He (Skyler) has good speed--just not great--but where he creates his seperation is with great cuts and instincts.

 

it just seemed like he was caught a couple of times against asu when he would have gotten away in 03. obviously there's no way to know for sure. i guess the best measure is the number of big plays he gets this season, but there is still a lot of different variables.

Re: Skylar Green Needs the ball in his hands

Ok, I apologize for the "gay" comment. For the record I really couldn't care less if someone gives me neg rep, but to give it to me for complimenting one of our Tigers, is lame to say the least.
