re: I have Blake Baker and Weiss Jr doubts as head coaches

It was clear, for example, Will Stein was running the Oregon offense autonomously. I don’t know that baker or certainly Weiss have any real management power at LSU
I don't understand how it's clear that Will Stein was running the offense autonomously but Baker is not doing the same on the defensive side of the ball. Both are successful, respected coordinators at huge programs working on the opposite side of the ball from their head coaches.

Dent can really handle, pass, and shoot.
We'll see if he shoots well this year. Last year he was a poor shooter, 25% from 3 and 65% from the line. His junior year at New Mexico he was 40% and 78%. If he shoots like last year he's just a good college point guard. If he shoots like his junior year he's an all-conference player.
Not worried about Clark. He's played good ball against really good competition for 3 years now at Louisville and UCLA.
The 3 internationals all looked solid to good. Dessert fouled a little too much for my liking but he may be going through an adjustment period with the whistle in college ball vs euroleague.
Bashir and Dioubate are about what I expected. Limited, but necessary role players.
I'm not sure what to make of Divine yet, but he'll have to play due to limited guard depth.

Berry was a higher recruit, but country day plays pee-wee football games he looked like Barry Sanders because he was going against a t 210 dt and 165 Lb that was much slower then him
Berry's movement skills stand out even against SEC teams, he would have been successful playing any high school competition. You always recruit guys who move like that. LSU would have been dumb to pass on Berry. But obviously the other parts of playing the position in college have not developed yet.
Sheppard is a great player. He is more or less Duke's entire offense, pretty sure he is their leading rusher AND receiver. If Jones moves on to the NFL I would love to portal him. I'm sure he has some loyalty to Duke (as he should) but Diaz and their front office guys may be on the move to FSU or another opening this offseason.

re: The Miami game is the blueprint for combating Trinidad
Posted by DallasTiger45 on 9/16/26 at 2:07 pm to Cd104
You're not wrong, but "get pressure on the QB without blitzing" is pretty well defined as the best way to have success against any QB, whether it's Trinidad or Tom Brady.
re: 6pt passing TD Quarterbacks
Posted by DallasTiger45 on 8/21/26 at 1:08 pm to warm
Like others have said, it balances the QB field (running vs passing) a little and gives a small boost to pure pocket passers.
You might bump up QBs a little, like maybe instead of taking Herbert in the 8th, now it's the 7th. But it's not a major change.

re: How do you rank these RB's in half PPR (mid 1 early 2 tier)
Posted by DallasTiger45 on 8/20/26 at 2:36 pm to Riseupfromtherubble
Excellent players running behind good OL with minimal competition to take meaningful touches. These are 1st round picks IMO
1) Taylor
2) Cook
3) Saquon
Have at least one question mark that drops their floor behind the tier above
4) Jeanty - Should get bellcow touches. Offense may not be great, but gets a shot in the arm from multiple angles (Kubiak, Mendoza, improved OL).
5) Brown - Good role on excellent offense. Will always play 2nd fiddle to Chase and the passing game. Addition of under center run game should offset any receiving loss.
6) Achane - Biggest boom/bust here. Is the offense nonfunctional? We've seen him succeed in below-average contexts before.
7) Henry - age/offense change/traditional lack of receiving work puts him at the bottom of the tier for me.
FWIW, I would have Ken Walker squarely in tier 2 above - definitely over Henry, and probably over Achane as well.

I hope he’s not blowing smoke up our asses because Sam’s outing against Mississippi State has me a bit in the wait and see camp on him.
Do people realize he played more than one game in his college career? Pretty sure every QB but Mendoza and Trinidad had at least one stinker last year.

Don't really understand the sentiment from Walker - pretty sure every person on the planet has interest in multiple things. TBob isn't cosplaying at anything

Rest of roster:

J. Williams
Kamara
A. Jones
London
McConkey
M. Evans
Pittman
Metcalf
Nailor
Shaheed
Flournoy
Diggs
Kelce
Kittle
Henry
How many teams? If 12 teams or less, this team is good but not great. Hard to believe you're the title favorite even with CMC. I'd probably pull the trigger.
re: Trading for Bijan in dynasty

Tee has limited to low value in a dynasty.
27 year old WR coming off back to back 10+ TD seasons with a 3rd round redraft ADP. Weird opinion. He's probably worth a random 1st rounder.
quote:
He gets a proven top 5 WR in his prime, a top 2 TE in his prime and a workhorse second year back.
Skatt is coming back from a brutal injury and has a new coaching staff. I like him, but it's far from guaranteed that he is a workhorse this year.
quote:
You get Bijan on a poor Atlanta team that will struggle to score and be looking at another roomie WB next season.
Bijan put up 21.8 PPR points per game last year while Atlanta finished 24th in the league in points per game.
The trade is pretty fair, IMO. In a 10 team league with a pretty shallow starting lineup, I think I'd lean toward the Bijan side.

I'm sure LSU sends out feelers to any stud player's representation to see if they are receptive to a potential move. Hopefully they are not stupid enough to contact the kids directly if they aren't in the portal yet.

Truth. We need to cut down on the opposition scoring. That includes defense for certain. We had way too many errors. They change the rhythm and dynamics of the game.
Speaking of rhythm and dynamics of the game...I'm wondering how good our staff can be if the level of catcher play doesn't improve from last year. I guess the good news is only one of Bide or Serna needs to take the leap defensively, but IMO whether or not that happens may be more impactful than any pitchers we pick up in the transfer portal.

If we had a staff full of Zac Cowans, LSU would never win anything meaningful. That should be obvious.

I don’t believe the Spurs would have legit interest in Murray for Fox unless Murray is routed to a 3rd team.
I have no idea if Murray would go for this, but they have zero lead guard depth if Fox is out of the picture. It's basically Harper, Castle, and league minimum flotsam. Murray coming off the bench for $20-25 million less than Fox would probably be agreeable to them. Plus he'd expire around when Castle is due for an extension.

I'll say it for the 100th time, it's about wanting more range up the middle. It's not a complicated concept.
Range is an important factor at 3rd base as well. Why do you think many college 3rd basemen turn into 1st basemen in the pros? It's usually not a deficiency with the arm - it's foot speed and fluidity as a defender.

Dude who can run and extend plays and throws with accuracy will help you get over his size.
We said the same about Russell Shepard.
This might be one of the most racist things I’ve ever seen on this board lol, literally the only thing similar about their games is they’re both black.
Shepard ran for more yards than he passed for his senior year of high school. He looked awful as a QB in the passing drills.
Pop Houston goes for 4000 and 40 passing every season and wins most accurate at the Elite 11.
Just couldn’t be more different
