Gotta love the names and options compared to the past four years.

Weeks
Perkins
Pyburn
Payton
Stamps
Pickett
Keys
Breaux
McKinley
Guillory

If some of these Safeties step up, I feel really good about this team.

It will undoubtedly be the most complete roster Brian Kelly has fielded at LSU.

I've been out of the loop. Is Weeks going to be healthy enough to participate in spring practice?

The defense has some "names". When they start bringing some good defense back to Baton Rouge, then we can call'em dudes.

Ready by June. Same with Perkins and Guillory.

ETA:

Happy others get important reps in the Spring too, so that's a silver lining to them being out right now.

Yep. Want all of them full-speed come Fall. And this will give others more reps in practice.

Don't forget one of our starting DBs, Mansoor Delane.

This year is all on the safeties shoulders, no doubt.

If they can play "Downhill" and not on their heals, we have a real shot.

Funny this thread was started by "Safety Blitz"...

It will be a COLOSSAL failure if Kelly can't get this team into the playoffs this year.

You could see glimpses of those vaunted LSU defenses of the past last season, then it would revert to LSU over the last 5 years. It was really frustrating. Hoping to see alot more of the former and alot less of the latter next season.

Seems like our big dropoffs this year were still cases where our DE can't hold the edge and/or our safeties looking lost. Offenses at this level are too good at exploiting the glaring weaknesses. Have to improve there.

Best thing about this year's defense is you have talent, depth and plenty of competition at most positions.

We really need to see Toviano and Spears step up at S and Cooley to be a solid portal addition. If safety play improves the defense should be stout.

Can they win the first game of the season? And can they stay locked in thru out the season? That's kinda been an issue lately an ongoing problem.
