I think 2013 team will be better than 2012 team, even with defections...

not sure why everyone is worried. Depth chart looks pretty good. Schedule is tough but talent is there to get us to Pasadena...

Who's with me?!?

Oh crap, the holy one has spoken.

I agree with you, even tho most people do not on this site. The Jalen's are far better corners than Simon was last year. The way Reid played last year is easily replaceable. And even tho we will miss Mingo and Sonic Sam, they had 12 sacks between them.

Minter is the only player we are losing that is really going to take a hit.

I think it is very possible if Mett has a strong year from the start and develops even further. The defense will be very strong even with the NFL exodus and I think with this strong class coming in - it could be a big year! No sense in thinking negative as it certainly never helps!

New defense will be hungry, not focused on their draft stock.

Don't know about better but it certainly has every chance to be as good or better than this year's team.

I'm with you Chicken



reading a thread on the MSB had a Chris Low quote about internal leadership being a issue in 2012, which frankly isn't a surprise, and he states it'll be corrected by next season


sometimes it's the right thing for players to move on

IDK about national championship, but no way we lose 4 games like some people think.

It's an odd-numbered year. Beside 2009, some of our best years were odd-numbered years.

2003
2005
2007
2011

2013 -

Chicken has evidently lost what little of his mind was left. The depth chart isn't our biggest worry. It is the fact that Miles still has the headset and Mettenberger has the keys to the offense.

There is enough talent on offense to make some noise

Defense should be good on scheme alone

The one bright spot about some of the early draft entries is that they weren't really that great anyway. Ford and Ware aren't really an upgrade over Hill and Blue assuming they can both stay healthy.

The young guys in the secondary do have some experience now and Loston staying helps. Reid will be missed but we churn out All American safeties like it's nothing. Martin could potentially pick up where we left off with Reid (and Reid had a better 2011 than 2012 IMO)

O line solidarity will be a key. ZM will be even better...I had a great conversation about this exact subject with ZM's granddad while he was waiting in an airport last month. Good things ahead if players don't fall apart and get distracted (no suprise there). In the end, you have to 'boil out the impurities' to get a better product sometimes...So be it.

If Miles gives a mobile QB some significant playing time, next year's team could be poised for the playoff in 2014.

Logan, Minter, and Simon, along with both DE's is just too much transition. Logan will be missed the most.

Too difficult of a schedule to expect next year's team to outperform this year's team, unless we see radical changes in the QB position and offensive philosophy.

It could happen, but I don't have any unrealistic expectations, for sure. I was making four road trips next year (Dallas, Georgia, Alabama, and Miss St.), and I cancelled all of them.

Nothing to do with LSU, everything to do with the SEC offices.

Yeah, I'm not as concerned as most about the defections. We have talented guys to step. I was more optimistic about the offense before the CFA Bowl, but I think with a whole off season to get ready, the OL should be better along with Mettenberger.
