As good as Beckwith has been, he's never approached Minter's 2012 season. 130 total tackles, 1 interception, 15 TFLs, 4 sacks, 5 pass breakups, 6 defensed, 1 forced fumble.

Minter was unreal in that season, and as good as Beckwith has been in his career, he hasn't had a season that approaches that kind of production.

quote:
Beckwith was a impactful as the most recent crop of great LSU MLBs (Shepard and Minter come to mind) However, he was arguably more important that both of those guys to their respective teams. There was a noticeable difference when Beckwith finally took over for Welter in 2014. The defense went from looking like the one of the worst in LSU history to one of the top SEC defenses by the end of the year. You also noticed immediately when he was off the field.

Go back and watch LSU play Florida in 2012. The game was lost on the series that Minter left the field. Keep in mind he had 20 tackles in that game.

Generally you dont want defensive players with gaudy stats because it usually means the defense has trouble getting off the field or your offense isnt giving your defense time to rest
