Re-watched the runs by Diggs & Jackson and they are definitely most talented backs on the roster. They both can be an elite running backs this year for LSU.

Jackson and Diggs have impressive vision, elusiveness and speed. They also seem to know where the first down marker is and hit the hole hard to get the yardage needed. No hesitation after receiving the hand off.

I would keep these two men on the field and allow them to get into a groove every game. Bring in Williams and Cain when needed, but the Emery experiment needs to end. Diggs and Jackson can lead this team to great success.

You know that was a scrimmage that was easier than the spring game, right?

Agreed. Diggs and Jackson take our run game to another level. Emery can play in the bama game tho, he seems to find a way to score against them.

I think he still has a role to play if he is willing to actually show up to class for once. If what we saw out of Diggs and Jackson continues, I actually think having Emery, Cain, and Williams as compliments would be fantastic. They all have their own unique skill sets.

Diggs and Jackson sounds like a shoot em out detective movie.

Wrong. John Emery is still most talented back on LSU roster and BK knows this.

Not saying anything other than most talented.

I don’t normally like to be a naysayer, but our offensive line should and generally did dominate grambling. Any RB who has the talent to play at a D1 power 5 school should be able to do approximately what they did. They looked great, but it doesn’t really show them being better than Emory, Cain , and Williams.

Williams is still going to play a significant role for now because he doesn’t make mistakes and can get tough yards. Until Jackson has pass protection down cold (not as big of an issue vs Grambling), Williams will likely get more snaps than him. But I could see that flipping by the Bama game after a bye week.

I do think Diggs will be our starter and get the majority of the carries if healthy, though. He’s an every down back who looks to be very versatile and perfect for this offense.

Diggs is also a very good receiving threat out of the backfield that we will utilize this year. I expect good things from him this year.
