So if Wingo, Smith, an Jefferson are the 1,3, 11th rated DT's in the draft, how in the hell wasn't LSU putting more pressure on the QB with 4 man rush?


I did not see any interior defensive linemen putting pressure on LSU either. And that was with Charles Turner at Center. What do you expect them to do throw the offensive linemen out of their way? Pass blocking is too good in college. Very few DTs can get pressure up the middle. Wingo was one of the few I've seen who could do it. Before him you have to go back to Glen Dorsey and Chad Lavalais to find an LSU DT who pressured the QB. And that was before pass blocking started to be emphasized over run blocking.

Yeah as a general rule you’re not going to get pressure on the qb at that position unless it’s some freak like Dorsey , suh, or Donald.

It definitely doesn’t mean smith won’t be drafted in the top 3 rounds
