With QT getting hurt, I hear Herron's name a lot. I also hear Bain, Gilmore and even Valentine as guys that need to step up. Is Mickey not a viable option as a guy with at least some experience in this defense at that position? I never really hear his name mentioned.

It seems no one is expecting much of him on this board. I'm sure he will contribute.

I don't think Johnson just has the body to play ahead of some other guys. He's 6'0-6'1 and the other guys are all 6'3-6'5. He's definitely at a disadvantage.

You don't hear his name because nobody else sees/hears anything good about him in practice. He was passed up by freshman last year.

Judging by his practice photos, Godchaux looks like he might be ready at least physically to play some snaps.

With as much success LSU has had the past several years getting DTs drafted, you would think we would have had more success in recruiting them. I love the DBU tag, but it all starts up front, and we flat out sucked at stopping the run last year and getting inside pressure.

It is pretty clear the coaches don't think highly of him. He is now what? A RSJR? And I've only ever seen him in mop up duty.

when the backups came in a few years ago in blowout games QT and MJ played alongside of each other
MJ also has been dealing with injuries
