I think most here are caught up in the names. Mingo was doubled and tripled last season. Sam had about 8 sacks and I can remember 2 were the QB just falling and him being rewarded in the books with the sack.

I can remember when people thought we would never see a DT do what Dunbar and Booger McFarland did......the comes Glenn Dorsey, Lavalais, Kyle Williams, Nevis.
I can remember Greg Jackson being a stud as a FS.....then came Chad Jones and LaRon.

This team recruits great athletes and the coaching is at the top level. We did not know who would run the ball the last 2-3 years. A couple years ago, RBs were suspended then we all found out that Kenny Hilliard was a stud. Then last season, we saw J. Hill dominate with no prior snaps. Mingo and Sam were great ambassadors for LSU, but it was a reason Lavar Edwards played so much and Sam didn't start 3 games. So to say that the "production" could be better, it is not a stretch.

People really underestimated the impact Brockers had on entire line both in '11 and last year in his absence. Our DTs just did not command the attention he did.

Not much. The only D linemen that was consistently double teamed was Bennie Logan.
