LSU Fall Practice Info Drop Thread

Really though...nothe being live in camp going into a game with a defense that had a ton of turnovers generated last year? Helmet on the ball every time please...these guys will look like they dipped their hands in Crisco.

Burrow is the most talented passer on their roster and the fact that 2 kids ran away as soon as he got there tells me 2 things:

1. He's in line to start
2. He's talented enough to make the other kids realize they're not playing over him

I agree on both points. First thoughts that popped in my head after hearing about the transfer requests.
 
Yes he may be good. But if Weldon and Perry transferred today would everyone be happy bc it means Rosier and Williams are the truth?

I feel like any news can be spun any way.

Exactly. Burrow was a 3 star to Narcisse 4 star and recruiting rankings at times don't mean crap. **** look at Baker Mayfield, who was a former walk on. From the tape I've seen of Burrows at camp, he looks good and passes are crisp, but I'll wait and see till he's taken a few shots to see how good he is

I'm not buying it, but I hope you are right. I can guarantee you at least on of those backs plays in the NFL. Brosette/Curry were both highly ranked recruits, just because they backed up Guice/Fournette doesn't mean they can't play.

LSU should be particularly concerned w them fumbling either way

He's talented and he already made 2 kids leave the program. There's zero doubt he's got a ton of talent.

I just don't think there's a chance in **** he will have the whole offense down at this point and no way he's developed rapport with his receivers. He just got there in late May. He's had very few full speed practices under his belt. Plus he's never gotten the snot knocked out of his nose by a 270lb defensive end running at full speed with very bad intentions.

I think he's a good player with a lot of talent, but getting them game 1 is a huge advantage. No way he's comfortable in that offense. My guess is they have about 25% of the playbook installed by game time and they'll get him as comfortable as they can with a small amount of plays.

He looks solid finding the underneath stuff. His deeper balls float -- see WRs stopping or turning around or slowing down for the deep ball attempts.

His first TD throw he gets obliterated in live action and seemed completely oblivious to it. How did the refs not call that a sack? That's either a decapitating sack or he gets rocked as he releases the ball resulting in a likely pick.

I don't get too much from that. Def a mystery heading into this game.

He throws a nice intermediate ball. Not a big time arm down the field, and doesn't seem like he likes to stretch the defense. Kind of reminds me of an Air Raid QB.
Hopefully Diaz isn't having linebackers covering slot receivers, or Burrow is going to be able to pick that apart (but so will everybody as we saw last year).
 
It's also not shocking where those defensive performances against Iowa and Oklahoma came from when you watched that spring game. Those fans had to have known they were in serious trouble based on that DB performance.

This is it right here. The transfers don't tell us chit because nobody knows how good any of these guys actually are. For all we know they are transferring because they thought they outperformed Burrow but are not getting looks at the starting job because the coaches promised Burrow the starting job for transferring to LSU. In fact, I think that makes more sense given the fact that McMillan was looking like the surprise starter in spring and how Burrow chose LSU when he could have chosen a terrible qb room like Florida (lol feleipe franks and kyle trask) or Nebraska (a walk-on and a freshman are competing for the starting job).

I don't know if hes actually any good, but if you're scared of Joe Burrow, plz go to church, because only the Lord and our defense can save you.
