re: All the talk about returning starters

All the starters who left made their names in 2011. Our new starters will be motivated to make a name for themselves this year. Our defense will be better than last year.

Me and Harry here see eye to eye on this..

I am going to blow your mind here: The defense will be BETTER than last year. The bottom line is that our talent level is as good or better than it has been from top to bottom. The difference between this years defense and last years is that this years defense has a ton to prove. Not one single player on the defense can mail it in and expect to go to the league, because none of them have done anything to warrant it. This year they will. They are hungry, they are talented, they are fast, and they have Chavis.

Reid, Montgomery, Mingo, Simon, Logan, Tyrann, were all worse last season.

Mingo did not take a step back because of effort. He regressed because Montgomery and Logan regressed, and Brockers left.

Tyrann did not play, so there ya go. Minter is the only guy that I was disapointed that left. That being said we are deeper at the linebacker position than we have ever been since Chavis arrived.

The offense will be better
The defense will be better
Special teams will be the same

LSU 2013 will be better than LSU 2012
