re: Saw your scrimmage stats. Did Coach O indicate it was 1s vs 1s?

...and more experience.


How exactly do you have more experience than what you ended with last year? Have the boys in purple and gold been getting in some CFL games over the summer?

And more talent? So you're saying that LSU's new freshman class is more talented than the juniors and seniors that left after 2016?

Or are you saying that the backups last year are more talented than those that left after 2016? If they're more talented, then why weren't they starting in 2016?

I realize that it's the preseason and everyone is saying how the teams are bigger, faster, stronger than ever before. I just didn't think anyone ever bought into that.

The guy that said all that got a little too excited. I think what he meant to say was that we have crazy good talent all over the place, but inexperience is the main focus right now. Reports from camp have us excited about our freshman group. Grant Delpit is said to be ahead of Jamal Adams at the same point of their careers.

1) The original post is not mine and it is not my position.

HOWEVER:

2) The defense MAY be more talented. LAST year's projected starting DE was injured before the season and missed the entire year (Christian LaCouture) He is a stud and is back. The DL is deeper and more talented than its been since the "good ole days" around here. LSU finally has LB depth. It is inexperienced. But, CERTAINLY more talented (pure talent and depth standpoint)


With the depth at DL and LB and the devastating pass rushers, the DB's will be able to settle in and be helped to develop. The youth at DB is pretty salty and there is enough experience there to help them come along.


This defense projects to be very stout. They young men have to perform, of course. But, the defense is not a worry at all and it is very, very talented and deep.

we are saying that we feel that defensively our improvement in the DL will make up for the slight drop in our secondary. A secondary where the two corners played a ton, and the safeties are uber talented.

What is so hard for you to comprehend
