best thing for him. He can now prepare to be drafted first round. Geaux Tigers!
Championship!!!
LSU is definitely better with Harold Perkins. Anyone who doesn’t see that hasn’t been paying attention. Perkins was a 1st team All SEC selection as a true freshman. Do you know how hard that is? That means he was one of the 2 or 3 best LBs in the SEC as a true freshman. He was a freshman All American. His sophomore year he was 2nd team All SEC. And when Perkins came to LSU from HS he was a RB. He was the number 1 rated RB in the state of Texas. 5star. He was born in New Orleans and his family was displaced by hurricane Katrina. That’s why he was raised in Texas. His family just stayed. But Perkins knew where he roots were so he came home to LSU. To say his first 2 years weren’t successful is nuts. 2 All Conferance teams a 1st and a 2nd Freshman All American. His first 2 years weren’t successful very successful. 26 tfls total in his first 2 years weren’t 26 TFL’s!!! 13 sacks!! 8 forced fumbles. All in 2 seasons. He is a freaky athlete. He is 6’1’’ 225 lbs. I. Would let Perkins play MLB on 1st and second down and play on the edge on obvious passing downs. He is an edge rusher. But he has other talents. He reminds me of Hassan Reddick. Reddick and Perkins are basically the same size. Reddick is 6’1’’ 240 lbs. all Perkins needs to do is gain 25 pounds of muscle and he is Hassan Reddick. Reddick is small for an edge rusher but it doesn’t matter he is one of the best over the last decade. Steelers edge rusher Nic Herbig out of Wisconsin is 6’2’’ 235. He is an edge rusher and a good one. You can win on the edge in various ways. You can win with size and power and go through offensive tackles or you can win with speed and quickness. Perkins and Reddick while stong as a horse win with speed and quickness. But say Reddick is going against Bengals RT Amarius Mims who is 6’8’’ 342 lbs. Reddick is not overpowering Mims. He is not going through him. His only chance against someone that big is to go around them. Although Mims is a freaky athlete in his own right bevaue for someone so big he is quick and runs a 5.01 40 yard dash so Reddick would have a very long day going against him.
SEC LOOKOUT! Geaux Tigers!
I'm not worried about the D-Fefence now that BB IS THE DC,
My concern is that O LINE, OK OK OK YES WE JUST GOT A COMMETMENT FROM THE O LINEMAN FROM NORTH WESTERN BUT I THINK WE CAN USE AT LEAST 2 MORE AT THE TACKELE POSITIONS I MEAN WE ARE LOSING CAMBELL & JONES AT THOSE POSITIONS, IJS. AND YESSSS I AM SCREAMIN WITH ALL CAPS HERE!
LSU is better without Perkins ……LMAO
The debate comes off so black and white about Perk. LSU is only a better defense with him IF they don't play him out of position. If they play him at MLB again, it's a waste and a detriment.
Bad take about Perk's effectiveness in the games he played at LB. If you watch the game film, it's obvious he wasn't ready to be a LB. Out of position a ton. Needs to play that star role or trim back down and play him at Safety. His speed, ball skills, and ability to come up in run support and blitz as a safety would be dirty
Made my day learning Perkins is coming back!! Let's FREAKING GEAUX 💜 💛
Welcome back Perk
Quarterbacks would not would have run all over us with Perkins spying them ! Perk definitely perks up the D and is a game changer!
Perkins will shut down the mobile QBs. He would have completely shut down Marcel Reed and would have been the reason LSU beat A&M if he was healthy.
It is not even a question if the defense is better without him. That is just non-sense from people/haters that don’t know jack about ball.
Doubters should ask themselves this question: who in the portal is equal or better than Perkins? (Hint: answer is less than one)
I think he made a great business decision. Coming back for one more season will only help his draft stock especially if LSU has a great season next year. Weeks & Perkins at LB 🔥🔥🔥
The defense should be top 10…
Harold Perkins is definitely a great freak of nature for our TIGERS DEFENSE!!!! I am so excited to see him play in Death Valley next season!!!! 2025 is our year! GEAUX TIGERS!!!!
He has Guillory & Mitchell should be fireworks 🎆
Let Perculese hunt
Hey Matt, what’s up with Jacoby Matthews????
He needs to do a better job getting off blocks, specially if the DL is not doing its job!
Until a agent gets involved then who knows?
Preach
Harold Perkins was there the first time and Milroe did the same thing 😂😂😂😂… Stop it.. Perk can rush passer that's it that's all
Let’s go!! Im fired up what a huge piece back!! Let’s go Perk!!! I’m a huge lsu football fan from Philadelphia pa I got my purple and gold on every Saturday.Go Tigers!!
The problem was that we couldn’t get Weeks and Perkins on the field together.
True about Perkins
I’d love for Perk to have a great year.
Sounds like you should be a football coach
LSU ** I S N O T ** better without H.P.7!
Bro am i living in the fucking twilight zone. He mentions Perkins being hurt and Milroe running all over LSU. HE DID THE SAME FUCKIN THING IN 2023!!!!!!!!! AND GUESS WHAT!!!!! PERKINS WAS ON THE FIELD!!!!!!
they keep mentioning that silent commit from a playoff team. I’m thinking it’s Derek Williams. 🤷♂️
Whoever even thinks we are better without Perk is just doesn’t know ball
Awesome!
This means we'll get to see BK try Perkins at place kicker, long snapper, water boy, almost certainly tight end, nickelback (both as the lead singer on team karaoke night AND the on field position), clipboard holder guy, headset holder guy, and probably safety since they can't seem to get another one.
You just know BK figures he's already pissed away the last 2 years of Perkins' career so he might as well round it out and end it on a low note.
Perkins is a GREAT athlete and will make us much better!!!
Which brings to question why was Major Burns on the field he was so awful.
Man, put Perkules at the Star position, he can affect so many aspects of game. It’s not complicated, stop making it difficult, passing situation just blitz him, he’s so fast delayed blitzes would be very effective not just off the edge, but letting him pick a gap with delayed blitzes. Whoever thinks our defense is better without Perkules don’t know ball and should keep their asinine comments to themselves. #LSU🐅
That’s as good a piece of news as any we’ve gotten the last month! This defense is gonna ignite DV!!
I smell a great defense brewing for 25.
Put Perkins at Middle Linebacker & we will dominate. Tired of the blitzing because it's not working, he's not big enough & we got plenty pass rushers so we need better Middle field play, that's where we gave up the most yards. Star is for a DB not Linebacker. We need to bring back that 3-4 defense
Let me say it again so those of you in the back in here LSU was a better defense without him. How many dozens of times I watch this guy evade contact in the hole and give up on plays. WAY TOO MANY. If I am proved wrong then I'm glad
Believe we are now seeing the return of what we were for so many years! A great defense.
