re: All Time LSU Defense

Over 2 first team all Americans? No I don't Ryan Clark in that scinareo.

He had 8 sacks and 13 TFL his last year. Mingo had 4.5 sacks and 8.5 TFL. Montgomery was first team All-SEC in 2011 and 2012, and an AA in 2011. Mingo was a 2nd team All-SEC player in 2011 and 2012 and was never named an AA.

Exaclty. Montgomery's last season was as productive as Mingo's best season.

Steltz was a great college player - indeed, an All-American - but I would like to hear your thinking on this one.

First of all, the way nick saban blew his FR season where he should have redshirted was a travesty for the kid, missing a year of contribution.

However he went on to record 11 INTs in 3 seasons.

Landry had 12int in 4.

Adams had 5int in 3.

Steltz's SR year 101 tackles, 5 for loss, 1 sack, 3 FF and 6 INT is better than any singular season that Chad Jones, Laron Landry or Jamal Adams had

JR year, 4 picks, 14 PBU's. Safe to say he played the ball better than any safety in the Saban/Miles era.

Leonard Marshall & Henry Thomas should be in there. I would take both over Dorsey.

In 2007, Dorsey had 69 tackles and 12.5 TFL as DT and played half the season on a bum knee and consistently fighting through double teams. 12.5 TFL as a DT is awesome. I was unaware people thought Dorsey was so overrated. I think some of the revisionist historians subconsciously take into account what certain players did in the NFL. But his college career was outstanding

I've seen Lavalais mentioned ITT. He puts up a great argument no doubt, but people also forget Marcus Spears was playing right next to him and had 13 TFL and 6 sacks, and Marquise Hill, the other DE, had 10.5 TFL and 6 sacks. There was no way to double team anyone on that line. It was probably the best collection of line talent we've ever had. Kyle Williams and Melvin Oliver combined for 10.5 TFL and 8 sacks. That team only allowed 67 yards on the ground per game and 11 PPG for a reason

DE Spears
DT Dorsey
DT Thomas
DE Marshall
LB Brooks
LB Anderson
LB James
DB Webster
DB Casanova
DB Peterson
DB Stovall

I'd probably put Steltz above Clark if we are huge strictly by what they did at lsu.

For some reason when anyone mentions Steltz I think of that hit he had to break up a pass to seal the bama win in 07.

And if a player in the secondary is recording 100+ tackles, that generally means your front 7 isn't doing their jobs.

he played behind two top 10 picks along the DL. Plus Beckwith and Highsmith who are two of the better LSU LB's in recent memory

He led a national championship defense in tackles, INT and forced fumbles & you gonna sit here and shite on that man! smdh!

Yes he was before my time. I only know about Capone because my dad talked about him so much I feel like I know how he played lol.

You are sleeping on the best MLB to ever play at LSU, Eric Hill. No one was nastier than him in the game.

Chris Williams, CB ...
