ALEXANDER - WOODS - NEVIS

They are all at a diffrent point in their college careers and diffrent types of DTs. Woods is a block eating run stopper while Nevis is a quick step penetrating DT. Alexander is kind of the hybrid and coming off the injury.

Alexander is a RS Senior, Woods is a true Junior and Nevis is a true Soph.

IMHO, I think Nevis has the most potential and upside of the three, but Alexander if healthy might be the best right now.

like our running backs we have a great stable of D-lineman. And the way that we are recruiting i think it will continue.

Scouts have been at the practices for a couple of players, RJF, Byrd, Big Herm, etc. I have heard from some of the media guys attending practices, really just some of the scrubs that get told to go to the practices for 15 min. so the paper can write about what they "saw", that Woods has caught their eye with his "quickness" and size..so he isn't slow according to some..

LEE - HATCH - JEFFERSON

Who you got as the holder on extra points? Flynn is gonna be tough to replace as the holder.

I thought he looked slow

There was actually a play where Woods looked really quick. It was against UK and he ran a RB down down the LOS and hit him and caused a fumble that went outta bounds. Although according to the stats on lsusports.net he didn't have any FF, nor did we force any that game. But the box score says UK fumbled 3 times.

Woods is projected as nose tackle at the next level. Pro scouts think highly of him. A good season and he goes Pro. Good NTs are hard to come by in the NFL.

Alexander does not do anything spectacular, but does everything well: good run defense, protects the linebackers, can get pressure up the middle. He is likely to get last year back but we won't know until the end of the season.

Nevis is a quick penetrating DT. He is in the mold of Dorsey. Plays low and blows up plays. With so much talent ahead of him, it will be hard to see much action this year but he needs to gain experience as he could be the "old man" of the DTs next year.

There is a chance LSU loses seven "7" from the D-line next year: RJF (leaves early), Jackson, Johnson, Pittman, Favorite, Alexander (if he doesn't get his year back) and Woods (if he goes early). If it happens, next year will be interesting as Davenport, Downs and (fill in the blank: Sentimore, McFarland, ?) will surely get major playing time.

Nevis IMO

Woods is in great shape for someone as big as he is.

WOODS HASN'T DONE SH*T !!! what has he done??!!

Dude (not me) didn't even start last year, so how does that make him a big NFL prospect??

Wact some of the tape from last season.....he's slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
