Defensive end questions
Posted on 8/14/14 at 9:03 pm

Is Bower next man up after Rasco and Hunter? With Neal pitching in on the interior, we don't have that many names left at DE. What about Maclin? Will he see the field? I'm assuming Patterson and Bower are the 2 deep but who comes next? Anyone know anything?

Bower will play and play well. I still think Neal will be all over the fricking field in many formations. Patterson might not be quite ready. Look out for Tiehuhama (sp?)

I have a feeling this will not happen. Neal is a DE all the way, at 6'2-255 he is not going to play DT.

When I heard this initially, it made me a bit worried because it sounded somewhat desperate, but maybe with QT coming back and hopefully Valentine joining the team very shortly, this will not be necessary.

The coaches just reported that Neal is moving for depth purposes. I do think he plays both. Teheuma is small, but I like his instincts. Patterson may see some time as a rush end on 3rd down. Bower will have a chance to play a ton.

Don't forget Herron he can play both

With QT back, Herron is a candidate to play anywhere on the line. More DT. Neal will hopefully be able to focus on DE. That's all if QT can go in time.

Yeah me too. I've seen it posted before that he might play some DT but 255 seems way too small.

Anyone hearing anything about Maclin?
Posted on 8/14/14 at 9:43 pm to Tigerpaul1969
Maclin has been in the program this long and hasn't contributed hardly at all. I wouldn't expect much out of him

Agreed

I too think a lot of this depends on QT's progress with the injury. What is up with Bain and Gilmore?
Herron is getting praise but who knows. All 3 were considered good recruits.
How about D. Clark... heard more about Teuhema(sp). If J Maclin is healthy maybe he can contribute. Patterson seems light, but they did move Beckwith to LB, so maybe coaches know something that we do not. No that cannot be it. LOL

Neal is pitching in on the interior? isn't he 225?

I have a feeling it WILL happen, and it will be permanent. Neil has explosiveness that no one else has. Chavis will use him at DT in passing situations because he has the ability to penetrate. I don't think he'll play DT in run packages. But Neil looks like the hybrid DE/DT for 2014 and probably for his whole LSU career.

I think we have more big, physical LBs, which will allow us to play 3 man DL packages. it would be prudent to have Feist, Beckwith, Louis in for series, in addition to the three starters, Welter, Debo, and Kwon. the starters and their backups will be interchangeable a lot, so I'm not saying any particular three starters will be set in stone. rather, we have some serious LB athletes who can rush the edges in support of a 3 man front, when we're matching up with spread and read-option packages.

I like Teuhema coming in on obvious passing situations. Kid is very quick and has a nose for the QB. When we go into some 3-4, they could bring him in as a rush LB.
I don't know much about Neal, but Herron is big enough and quick enough to play DE against more run oriented teams. I think he'll be moved around because he has the versatility to play that 3 and 5 technique.
