I don't know, but it will bite us in the arse if the game is close. The 4 DE's will be tired as hell.


Is this a joke? We barely rotated AT ALL last year. Godchaux at DT already talked about this stuff in an interview. The starters basically played anywhere from 80-90% of the snaps. If we can split the first string and 2nd string 50/50 or even 60/40, that will go a long way to being better handled than last year. Plus I'm sure we'll utilize some 3-4 with Godchaux and Herron flanking LaCouture or something like that, with Key as an LB.

What about D. Jackson on end. No tackle could beat him off the ball.

Going up against the QB that tore up the front 7 last year with a depleted DL sounds like great strategery.


No shite....I'm certainly jumping for joy!

If you believe that 2 defensive ends that played most games last season are not dressing because they have fallen on the depth chart that lost last years starters, I have some ocean front property to sell you in Gross Tete. This is a disciplinary issue and they are walking a fine line.

Their reason for not dressing was "performance based." If this was the case then Jennings shouldn't have dressed the last 10-12 games!

And Mathieu, Simon and Ware were just "withheld from play" back in 2011. There's obviously more to the story, we'll never really now, just hope they can get themselves straight and back in the rotation.

now EO will get it right, but I thought he liked to play a bunch of guys. He can forget doing that this weekend.


So who isn't traveling with the team? oh that's rt, you have no idea. Stop stating things as fact when they aren't.

They are not playing because they are out of shape and didn't pass conditioning test!

I'm pretty sure it was said before the game that they were withheld because of synthetic weed.

They practiced all throughout fall camp and still can't pass a conditioning test?

We be about to unleash the most athletic defense of all time..

The 2-2-7..

Godchaux and LaCoutre at DT
Beckwith and Jones at LB
White, Toliver, Adams, Jefferson, Paris, Mills and Thomas at DB.

Defense stacked, offenses fricked.

They probably showed up late for practice and/or meetings, or skipped some classes. I don't think it's a big deal, and they'll be back soon.

If they are serving a one game suspension for something in the off season, I wonder if les counts Mcneese as a game.

I personally feel that if they have a one games suspension, then last weeks game should not count as a game, but that's just me. No idea what Les would do in that situation.

Hell, last year Florida had a couple guys that were suspended for the Gators opening game and even though their game was cancelled, Muschamp counted it as a played game and lifted the players suspensions for the second game of their season.

I don't feel that is sending the right message to the players that have gotten into some kind of trouble. If there is a one game suspension, then by God, they should have to sit out an actual game, not one that has been cancelled and never played.

It's been confirmed that they arnt being held out due to Acadimics........its effort and playbook. Miles is just pressing the issue to get their asses in gear.
