re: Dline.....

We don't need depth...just development. LSU is loaded on the dline with young, high potential guys. A good sign of their development is despite the logjam, we've had very little attrition.

Its obvious Chavis told all his dline to slim down. Everyone lost weight from last year. Even Edwards lost a ton of weight...

I think its a legit concern about stopping the run. LSU doesn't have big guys behind the dline either outside KS. Well, projected starters at least. Kinda hard to show that pass rushing ability if you never stop the run. A power team like Bama will be a problem. However, LSU has girth in their depth, so they can always plug them in. Our dline has both types of lineman in the depth, its almost like LSU is built for two different styles. Spread and Power. LSU has been hanging with Bama past two years because they can match their power...not many teams have been able to do that.

I'm kinda hoping we use bigger guys on earlier downs and then slip guys like Montgomery/Adams in the long down situations on third. But we'll see how good they are at stopping the run. They didn't look good in the spring game at all.
