As for this post in particular, you do realize that jones played a ton last year. He didn't play the first series much but he played more than many others. And for the millionth time...Robinson didn't play over perk because he couldn't get his act together off the field. That's it...that's the reason. If folks don't pull their end of the load in all aspects Mullen won't play them. It's a main reason we have the work ethic and development within the program that we have. Without a commitment to excellence on and off the field we wouldn't be successful. It is one of the reasons Mullen has the record he does and has led us to one of our greatest stretches ever.

There are adjustment I would personally like to see made in scheme and personnel but at the end of the day I'm not in position to say my thoughts are any better than someone who's livelihood is based on game results AND sees these guys everyday.

If LSU runs us off the field I will change my tune but until then I can think of a ton of reasons why last nite went the way it did and none affect my thoughts or feelings on how the rest of the year will go. I like my crow medium rare.**
Absolutely remember on Jones. I thought he should have played more and started though.

Robinson was definitely an enigma. Do you play the guy who maybe doesn't have the best work ethic but produces more over the guy who works hard and isn't as productive? I think the solution would have been to use Perkins differently and not as much between the tackles and more on screens and things like that.

And for the billionth time- I'm just giving my opinion. I'm not saying I'm a better coach than Dan. I definitely have a strong opinion on it. All I want to see us do is play the best people and maybe give others a fair chance to perform that maybe haven't yet- which would settle this debate once and for all. As it is right now- we definitely have some holes and if I was Dan and my livelihood was depending on it, I would definitely try to find a solution ASAP. One way or the other.
