Chris Todd, completely understand. Noodle armed as they come.

Seriously?

Yeah, you're a dumbass. Todd gave it everything he had. And did as well as he could under the circumstances he was thrown into. Still beat out Tubby's and Borges' golden childs (Kodi, Neil).

Gerald Dixon or Herschel Bolden

Please go back and watch the Outback bowl. Every single Ben Tate TD was set up by Trott blocking downfield. While he sucked as a receiving TE, he was one of the best downfield blockers I've ever seen

Are you saying Lutz can't block?

Yeah, that's exactly what I said. Giving Trott props for being an extra tackle on the outside and knowing he was never getting the ball but sacrificing himself to set up other players, obviously means I was dissing Lutz.

I wasn't dissing Trott. All I said is Lutz is better.

As of right now, Trott was a better downfield blocker than Lutz.

Is he better than Lutz? I don't think so. But the statement I made had nothing to do with overall talent.

mine was. Trott was a hell of blocker but everyone watches the ball and he had a hard time bringing it down. That's why he gets the bad rep.

I don't like him personally though because when I met him he was an a-hole.

I'm usually pretty forgiving of players, so this is a really hard list for me to make. In addition, my criteria is this...players who were good enough to receive significant playing time or had significant potential, but either blew it with terrible mistakes/inconsistent performance/not living up to hype.

I defended Casey Dick until the end, but I was not disappointed when he left (though I'm glad that he went out with the game winning TD pass against LSU).

Robert Johnson was all heart and was productive when switched to a wideout, but the guy could only do well in practice.

Ray Dominguez was a false start machine, but is a very nice guy in person.

I feel like this could apply to a large amount of our secondary during the Petrino era. A lot of potential or Nutt holdovers who just couldn't always perform. The last time we had a decent secondary was when we had Chris Houston, Michael Grant, Randy Kelly, and Michael Coe/Matteral Richardson.
