Expectations for LSU's DL have been based on the perception that LSU was recruiting elite level athletes on the DL. The performance hasn't met expectations, so it is natural for people to lower their expectations to reflect historic performance more than athletic potential. It is hard to argue against ESPN's reasoning.

With the coaching changes we will get to find out if the disappointing performance of the past was due to misevaluation of athleticism and/or competitive nature, or due to inferior development and/or application of talent. If it is the former it will take time to correct via recruiting. If it is the latter, then LSU will benefit from improved DL performance immediately.

For whatever reason, Chavis just never really emphasized rushing the passer.
