PMarshall put an article on 247 this am about where the team is right now from some "inside sources." I'll summarize a few points.
QB - Frazier is bigger and faster. Wallace has a ton of heart. Frazier has to shake off last year if he wants to win the job
Coaching staff has gotten them to buy in while really pushing them hard.
Most think the team will be much better than last year. Said we're only halfway through spring, so guys will probably make a big jump between now and fall camp.
People underestimate Mason at RB.
Louis could have a huge year. Denson as well. Ray, Bray and Coates have dropped passes - need more consistency. Reed has really stepped up on and off the field.
All three TE's are looking really good. Prosch can have a special year.
DE's need a true game changer. Guys are getting better but no one really has shined through
Sounds about the same for DT's. Said Blackson has ability to be the best and Wright seems to have turned over a new leaf.
LB's - Holland has by far the most knowledge. Frost is getting there. McKinzey needs to work on the mental aspect. One amazing play, then the next he's lost. Backups just need more time. Need a LB to step up and show they can change a game.
Garrett has shined at the star but Therezie is good enough to push him.
CB's are looking much better. Have a chance to be a strength this year.
Safeties - McNeal is up and down. Makes a great play, then looks distracted the next. Whitehead has the ability, but doesn't make enough plays yet. Fisher makes up for lack of talent with brains. TJ Davis not ready yet. Ryan Smith is along the lines of Whitehead.

fwiw, this is all info he said came from someone else who has seen all the practices.
And no assholery by Ray was mentioned.

Mason hasn't even been practicing a lot due to injury. Didn't play in the scrimmage. where is pm getting this?
quote:
Ray, Bray and Coates have dropped passes
Probably shitty passes
quote:
Reed has really stepped up on and off the field.
Once again, hasn't even practiced a lot due to various reasons. Didn't play in the scrimmage. We also heard the same shite last spring

TJ Davis not ready yet.

Reason I brought it up was because someone said earlier that he was very well spoken and seemed like a good kid. He's actually very immature and I was just correcting them. That can be translated on the field if he doesn't fix that.

Thanks coach. I think it'd be best for everyone if you just dropped it.

He is a great guy and works real hard.

Like I said in 3 separate posts: I brought it up to shed light on how this could translate on the field. I also said 3 separate times that I didn't care about his personality if he performed well.

We all make mistakes

I'm not a sunshine pumper but I think we will be better. I predict an upset or 2

Am I wrong in thinking that LSU was NOT that good last year? They barely got by in every game and just looked downright poor in other games. Sometimes they would play strong (against Alabama) but they sure didn't against us. I can see us upsetting them easily.

LSU seems to be that way every year.

The going term is "accidental racist". I need you to get on board with it.
Ray sucks. Overhyped, and even if he was any good, nobody can get the ball to him where he's most effective - downfield.

We will have to win in Red Stick, something we have not done in a loooong time.
My sights are on UGA.
