The days are long and strained

 
Tinker:

The days are long and strained because we keep getting waited down with the social loads from Washington DC enterprising thief's, who just keep trying to steal our last dollar, until our last dying breath.
This walk with America humanity has been a stabbing disappointment to the hope that I once had in my youth.

I did not know just how bad these guys were, I never had a clue. By the time that I learned the truth of the people working in our government, it was to late to protect my sense of humor. It is not very funny to me anymore.


I can't laugh at what they do, or how they do it. The people working for the American government in Washington DC are the criminal hustlers that has been practiced this scam for the past 250 years.

After our forefathers gave the first 13 United States a republic to govern the new government. It took about 50 years after that for the crooks to turn Washington DC into the crooked enterprise that we see today.

The truth is very clear, it is who you know, not what you know that get you ahead in America. How many times has our country's prosecutor indicted the corrupt Businessmen and Politicians running Washington DC? Hardly ever is the correct answer.


The United State constitution is a front for the once upon a time in America true criminal enterprise.


Before we all die they the Washington DC politicians must one day pay for their crimes. Until the American people put the bad guys into prison for the crime that they committed in the land that our children inherited, and now live in Americans will never live in a good society, or culture.
The days are long, and strained, because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

LSU backfield looks to get involved in the passing game

Tiger running backs barely involved in the last several years.


By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor


Every day at spring practice, new offensive coordinator has his receivers, running backs and tight ends go through a four-level gauntlet catching passes between obstructions, on the sidelines and over teammates.

None of the skill players are exempt from the drills, and there’s a reason for that. The LSU running backs, long the forgotten men in the LSU passing game, are expected to play a much bigger role under Cameron’s direction this season.

“We’ve always expected our running backs and fullbacks to catch the ball, I just think they’re going to get more of an opportunity to showcase that,” said senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger.

That vaunted LSU backfield of recent years hasn’t gotten much of an opportunity to show off its hands, but that doesn’t look to be the case this season.

“The offense Cam Cameron is bringing to the table for a running back is awesome,” said senior running back Alfred Blue, who has 11 catches in three years at LSU. “It’s versatile, it’s very versatile for a running back. It let’s you expose your talents.”

When looking at the Tigers’ offense the last four years, it becomes apparent the backfield was considered a last-ditch check down rather than a primary option.

LSU running backs combined for 114 catches in the last four years. That number represents only about 15 percent of the passes LSU completed in that same time span. The backfield’s best pass-catching year in that time frame came a year ago, when LSU running backs caught 41 of LSU’s 208 completed passes

That number pales in comparison to Cameron’s four full seasons as the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator. Since Cameron was fired mid-season last year, these statistics come from the 2008-2011 seasons.

Cameron’s backfields reeled in 399 balls in that time frame, almost exactly a third of the Ravens’ 1,202 completed passes. The Baltimore running backs hauled catches in with consistency, accounting for between 32 and 35 percent of the Ravens’ catches in those four years.

It helped Cameron’s cause that he had Ray Rice in his backfield. Rice grabbed at least 63 passes in each of his three full seasons as the starting running back in Cameron’s offense.

When asked if he started licking his chops when thinking of what Rice was able to do as a pass-catcher in Cameron’s offense, senior running back Alfred Blue offered  an ear-to-ear smile.

Seeing Ray Rice move out of the backfield and catch those screens, go on a route and mismatch on a linebacker - you’re right I’m licking my chops,” Blue said. “That’s all I want all day - a mismatch on a linebacker, catch the ball and blow right past him, I’m in the second level.”

The LSU corps of backs is a physical and brutish one. It has graced the highlight reels by running over and past opposing defenders, not making nifty catches in space.

Perhaps nobody fits that mold better than Kenny Hilliard. The Patterson native runs with devastating power and deceptive speed and it seems like he’s built solely to take the ball right from the quarterback’s hands rather than catching it in the open. His 144 career carries dwarf his six career catches.

But Hilliard and the rest of the LSU runners are excited for the opportunity to show they are not a bunch of one-trick ponies.

“I caught a lot of balls in high school and I can truly say I’ve got great hands,” Hilliard said. “That’s going to be a big advantage for me catching the ball out of the backfield. All of us can catch the ball.”

That’s a good thing. If they couldn’t catch the ball, they just might not play in this new offensive attack.

“His motto is ‘Brilliant at the basics,’” Blue said. “So he’s teaching us that we’ve got to be able to catch the ball if we want to be in his offense.”

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
In football news, Barkevious Mingo and Eric Reid have both been invited to New York City for the NFL Draft in two weeks. The draft will be held April 25-27 at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan. The first round will be held starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 followed by the second and third rounds on Friday, and rounds four through seven on Saturday. ESPN, ESPN2 and the NFL Network will televise all seven rounds of the draft. Mingo is expected to be the first LSU player selected as he’s projected as a top 10 overall pick by many draft experts. Reid is projected to be a mid-to-late first round selection.

ESPN College Gameday’s Chris Fowler & Kirk Herbstreit will be special guests of LSU tomorrow as they will be visiting with Coach Miles and getting a spring practice update on the Tigers. The two will interview head coach Les Miles at 12:40 p.m. CT on SportsCenter followed by an interview with quarterback Zach Mettenberger at 1:15 CT that will air during College Football Live at 2:30 p.m. CT.

According to reports, LSU will have another special guest this weekend as class of 2014 sensation Jabrill Peppers will be making a visit. Peppers (DE, 6'1", 210, Paramus, New Jersey) is rated by Rivals as the second best prospect in the nation behind Da'Shawn Hand of Woodbridge, VA and ahead of Louisiana's own Leonard Fournette who they have as the nation's No. 3 player. As most of you know, Fournette (RB, 6'2", 220, St. Augustine) is ranked No. 1 on my list of Top LA prospects for 2014 and is the biggest prospects to come out of Louisiana in years. To be ranked higher than Fournette nationally says a lot about Peppers. At this time, Peppers leaders are said to be OSU, Stanford, Michigan, and LSU. Here's Peppers’ highlight video.
