Do yourself a favor and search Beanie Wells on youtube.

And by god you are acting like Doucet is the end-all savior of the world. Who even knows if he will get the chance to make a play with Jenkins all over him? Hell, it's been a long while since Malcom's had a pass completed on him when he's in man coverage.

He does look good I have seen some of his highlights... Here are some of the backs we have faced...

Wells's run against Michigan this year was incredible. Great looking player.

Those are some impressive highlights to say the least. Every football conference just brings some spectacular football for people to enjoy every Saturday.

Here is my favorite Beanie run.

I feel the same way about Wells. I just do not see anything special because I can not judge his performance against teams I barely know. To me he looks no different than any other SEC running back we have faced this year. We face running backs ranging from 225 to 235 that run sub 4.4 in the 40. Now if he comes out on Jan 7th and rips LSU a new one, I will understand what OSU fans are saying better because I know the speed and talent of our team.

You just do not understand the hype behind Doucet until you can measure him against something you know very well. Like OSU fans with Wells, LSU fans have seen this man for 4 years against very good talent. 90% of the time he wins the battle. He makes incredible plays in the clutch.

OK, bullshit.

I've researched the players you linked youtube videos on in a susequent link. Here's what I found.

Only one of them (Anothony Dixon) has Chris Wells size and not only did he run for 500 less yards this year he is slower than Chris Wells.

McFadden and Jones are fast but they're both 200 pounders (D Mac is 205). Lester is 5'11" and weighs 195. Percy Harvin is a freaking receiver masquerading as a running back because Florida has no running back other than Tebow and Harvin is 5'11" and 187 lbs.

So please show me all the guys LSU is playing against that are Chris Wells size and sub 4.4? Clue!@ There aren't any.

Look he is impressive. He is a running back at 240 lbs that runs a 4.4 or better. He is going to be fun to watch, LSU will have significant trouble stopping him with that big OLINE in front...

Granted, Doucet did miss 5 games. But, he has not had a 100 yard game all season. My most shining memory of Doucet is his illegal formation penalty on a should-have-been pass touchdown to Jacob Hester against Arkansas. His yards per catch average is just straight up terrible. He has one 100 yard game his whole career.

Still, he has NFL talent (Though his stock is falling). And, he shouldn't be underestimated. On that same note, he isn't amazing. I personally think Brandon LaFell is the best receiver on the LSU squad (And a lot better at that).

He hasn't had a 100 yard game because like I said earlier, he is our possession receiver and LSU is a run-first offense. If you are looking straight at his stats then they are not that impressive but if you watch him play he is a playmaker. LSU is a different team with him on the field.
If you think LaFell is the best receiver on our team, you are out of your mind. He is our 3rd best receiver by a long shot, #1 is Doucet, #2 is Demetrius Byrd (caught last second TD vs Auburn). LaFell had the dropsies for most of the season this year but has improved lately.

Why is it whenever an LSU fan gives a compliment someone finds a way to be offended? Sheesh, it's getting a little out of control, we still have a couple weeks to go before everyone gets all raged out.

Well it might be due to the number of backhanded compliments some of the LSU fans have been giving out.

Not all by any means, just a few who have no idea what college football is outside of either LSU or the SEC or any knowledge of the game prior to the year 2003.....

Just sayin....... :biggrin:
