LSU FOOTBALL Blake Baker Media Availability Notes (Presser video added)

L
  • Thinks the defense has done a really good job of learning the playbook over the summer and translating it to the field. They're running about 90% of their plays with minimal mistakes.
  • Says they're mixing and matching a lot of guys right now trying to figure out the depth chart. They're looking to build depth at the moment, and then will figure out who their starters are.
  • Harold Perkins is doing a great job at moving inside. Says he's fitting the run better than anyone right now. Thinks he hasn't even scratched the surface of his talent.
  • Says Jacobian has always been a big, strong player inside, but he's really grown as a leader off the field.
  • Said Zy Alexander has been progressing with his ACL. He's not fully back yet, and they don't have an exact timeline, but he's exceeded what Baker thought he'd be able to do at this point.
  • Stamps has worked his tail off this offseason to get better. He's always in the building and he's seen it paying off. He's looking for more consistency from him, though.
  • Says coming back here was bitter sweet. This is his home, but he really enjoyed his time at Missouri. At the end of the day, this is one of the few jobs that he told Drinkwitz he'd entertain.
  • Calls the defense inconsistent right now. Says when they're playing well, they're really good, but they're just inconsistent. Wants to see more player accountability.
  • Says most places only have fourish days of full tackling. They're on day two of it here. One of the things they're harping on is angles.
  • Thinks they have a fantastic offensive line and their defensive line has been inconsistent. They can beat them when they're playing well, but they can't do it consistently.
  • Calls his scheme very player friendly. They work hard to make it as easy to understand for their players to allow them to play faster.
  • Calls Whit Weeks a phenomenal football player. He's going to play and be a huge part in this defense.

LSU FOOTBALL Today's practice... Notes on the way

JeffersonPowell
LSU held practice this morning and the majority of it was open to the media. Both Luke and I were in attendance and both of us are currently working on notes (coming soon)... We also had a videographer intern out at practice today. He got a small 15-minute shooting window, so hoping to have some sights and sounds for you later.

Stay tuned.... Plenty of info and content coming your way.

LSU FOOTBALL 08/07 Joe Sloan Media Availability

L
  • Love the continuity among the offensive staff. Guys like himself, Cortez Hankton, Frank Wilson and Brad Davis have all been working together for a while, and he feels it helps carry over to the players.
  • Says they have an unbelievable group of tight ends, even without Markway. Thinks Pimpton has grown a lot and Green is making great strides right away. Thinks it's one of the most exciting groups on the team.
  • Garrett Nussmeier processes info super quickly and has a massive arm to make any throw. Says he always had the talent, but where he's really improved is in his process. He's learning to be the guy and how he can improve day-to-day.
  • Says with their depth, they are able to run pretty much every set they want. They can run so many different formations with their receivers, tight ends and running backs. Thinks they can do more things this year than last year.
  • Everyone saw what Kaleb Jackson could do last season. He was incredibly hard to tackle and can run over people, but they needed to see him grow mentally. Understanding where he's supposed to go, how to read defenses and how to be better in pass protection, and they think he's done a great job of that.
  • Thinks their offensive line is special. They have some elite talent who have played together for a long time. Thinks one of the most exciting things about them is that they can coach up the young offensive linemen who are going to take over next season.
  • With helmet communication, he thinks it's great, but they need to have a backup plan for calling plays without it. Says the positive thing about having Nuss at QB is that he's used to getting plays without the helmet comm, but it can still throw you off in the moment.
  • Thinks having IPads on the sideline is awesome. They don't have to go and ask their players if they think they saw something, they can just sit down and look at the replays and figure out adjustments quicker.
  • They had a massive offensive playbook last year, so they didn't really have to start from scratch in redesigning the offense this year. They've tinkered with some stuff, but they've had the ability to do most things they're going to do this year.

LSU FOOTBALL News and Notes: LSU fall camp day five

L
  • Practice started with a couple minutes of 11-on-11 work. First play, Nuss found Mason Taylor over the middle for a 15-20 yard gain. Next play, Nuss threw a beautiful ball to Zavion Thomas who was streaking down the right sideline, but he dropped it. Easily would've been a touchdown. Rickie Collins came in next and ran a couple run plays before the period ended.
