LSU Defensive Depth

I think I'm more worried about the lack of bulk.

At least LSU has the deepest defensive backfield in the universe...

With the redshirt off copeland, I think he could be used for some depth at de.

I think he might be strictly at FB (at least for the next few game)

What more depth do you want? Teams rarely go beyond the 2-deep in a game unless a player gets injured and is out. Sorry, but I didn't see a tired defensive line against Florida.

Defensive Ends
Lavar Edwards
Chancey Aghayere
Barkevious "Facemask" Mingo
Ken Adams

Defensive Tackle
"The Drake" Nevis
Pep Levingston
Michael "Rocker" Brockers
Josh Downs

Throw in a little Bennie Logan at DT and Justin Maclin at DE, but the above 2 deep is plenty enough to make it 4 quarters.

you can make a list of players, but it doesn't mean its quality depth. And by tired in the Florida game I just remember Nevis was not on the field for a majority of the second half, but it could have been an injury, I'm not sure.
All I am trying to say is that Auburn has a potent rushing attack. They have gone over 200 yards in all but one game ( 190 against Miss. State). Our defense line needs to play lights out and the depth of LSU's d-line worries me a little bit.
I can see some phantom cramps happening throughout this game, especially if Auburn is running the no huddle effectively.

We had a bunch of guys cramping at Florida. I don't expect that to be an issue. Like the Aubbie poster said, though, they are a fast-break offense. Depth will be an issue if LSU doesn't get a few 3-and-outs. The good news is LSU does have some depth as another poster pointed out, especially if Downs can go a series or two.

I don't remember anyone "pounding" Jamarcus Russell when you guys had him and Newton is a ghost in the backfield despite being the same size.

Only good things have happend so far when our O line breaks down. It really is kind of freakish...

Check out some Cam YouTube (any game--you choose)when the protection breaks down in past games and clue me into your devine strategy after you pick your jaw up off the floor.

Chavis is great and the LSU defense is a hallmark SEC defense (a lost art for most of the league this year)but there isn't a DC in the nation that isn't freaked out by Newton and this offense right now (including Chavis) and its just silly to state otherwise.
