Heres what we lost.
6 DL that all started games and all 6 had more playing time than anyone left on the roster. Other than Johnson its not even close. We also lost Aghreye who could eat up a series or two in each game.
Our best MLB, maybe ever.
Our best safety
Our best CB.
U can understand why anyone would say we are rebuilding.

Loston and Mills are still on the team.

I'm hoping our secondary steps up.... They were weak last year....
No pass rush = coverage getting exposed. It all starts up front.

Loston played better than Reid last year and Mills was the best corner on the field.
Yes the experience is gone on the DL, but we've added speed and strength to the inside with Freak and Ferguson who have played in bursts for the past 2 years. We've gotten bigger on the outside with Rasco, Allen and Hunter. If Allen/Maclin can get out their stance faster than Montgomery, then we'll have no problem. With Rasco we get a quality pass rusher and a strong end to make our Run D better.
What needs to happen is that we get our freshman (true and red) a lot of playing time early and often so when we play teams like TAMU and Ole Miss who have do it all QBs, and running stables like Bama, Florida, and UGA, the coaching staff can feel confident switching from juniors to freshman.
Also it will help so they won't be f***ed next year, seeing as the whole starting line can take the early out.

Do you realize how YOUNG we were in the back seven last year?
Three TrFr and two RFr were in the secondary rotation. One TrFr started every game at corner, The nickle and dime backs were both RFr. Also had a TrSo as the #3 saftey. Mills was top CB last year.
This year the only freshmen will be backup corners. If a freshman cracks the starting secondary this year he will truly be an award winner by the time his playing days in Baton Rouge are over.
Didn't we say that about K Shepard last offseason? If Barrow slids into the middle this LB crew will be lights out. Barrow, Alexander, T Jones, D Jones and Louis can all go sideline to sideline.
The '12 LBs were just as young as the secondary. Four TrFr in the rotation. Two actually started multiple games.
On the D-line we lost six including Aghayere. That is some talent and experience that just walked out the door. No doubt.
Freak and Ego will be the best DT tandem in the SEC. Rasco, Hunter and Allen are a solid DE group to build upon.
The success or failure of the LSU '13 "D" will rely on Chief and Brick finding 4-5 guys that are able to step up and provide quality depth along the defensive front.
It could be guys on the team allready like Macklin, Thomas or Micky Johnson. Maybe some of those oh so talented and raw true freshmen like Herron, Gilmore, LaCoture or Bowers.
Only time will tell. I don't see a dropoff from our '12 "D" at all. Truly expect the back seven to be way more productive this year over last.

Rebuild this- the hat is going to paint his master piece. This is from an LSU long time fan & biggest critic of the hat. One loss or less in 2013. Book it
