Detiller Q&A on Dandy's site on LSU’s defense part 2

Had great things to say about Sci Martin:

quote:

---

Then he blew up last season at McDonough 35 with over 30 quarterback sacks. He has a unique skill set to rush the quarterback. He’s lightning quick with his initial step toward the backfield. He also finds the ball fast.

Coach O raved about his pass rush potential. Now, he has added over 25 pounds of muscle and can fly up the field. The one thing that jumps out, other than his speed, is that he knows how to use his arms and hands to get around blockers. Now stronger, that element will get even better. His size, skill set, and ability to get up the field

Pressure breaks the pipe. Martin is a pipe-breaker and watch Aranda get him and Arden Key on the field during obvious passing plays.

---

After discussing the possibilities of the defensive line positions and rotation he said this:

quote:

---

the quickest spot to influence a quarterback is right up the middle and Godchaux can give you that.

---

I remember thinking Godchaux was switched to OL in the spring game as much as he was always five to 10 yards into the offensive backfield after just about every play.

Lets see what happens with Travonté Valentine. As I said, he could be an exciting difference-maker. They will give him and the freshmen a long look. Remember this is Dave Aranda’s defense and he will show you a lot more looks than in the past and also with different personnel groups.
