Doubt it. He was the number one weakness in our D this year. Lateral movement is very poor.

and Atkins.


I was looking at our team rankings on 247 since we had a few commtis and decommits since I last looked at it. I was really surprised to see how critically low 247 ranks Atkins,3*. The guy is up for Texas HS POY and they have him as the 58th best player in the state...

He is ranked criminally low.

You are correct. He was our second leading tackler last year, and first this year. Along with several sacks and tbtl, some big hits, and a game-changing interception against a&m. He's been a huge contributor on defense and we're lucky to have him. Kelly raves about him. And he's started 2 his true sophomore and junior years. If he gets just a little better his senior year, he may be an all sec type player. Soft? What a joke.

I’d argue Speights was a much bigger problem than Penn. Penn was much more effective with Weeks on the field

Apparently you didn’t watch LSU’s defense this season.

Penn isn’t soft, but he also isn’t a sideline to sideline LB. He has a role but hope we see other guys as well inside next season that can run (I don’t think you wanna count on true freshmen)

Just tried to watch Atkins in the championship game, but it was still the pregame. They said Summer Creek had a really good defense, but it was heavily reliant on Atkins. Remove him, and they wouldn’t be anything special.

Yeah, man, me and Brian Kelly are drunk.

For the record, when you were bitching about Damone Clark I was posting that he was an NFL starter.

When I saw Debo Jones play a single game in his senior high school year I called him as an NFL player.

I don’t see NFL superstar in Penn, but I think he makes an NFL roster and earns a pension.

Who said I bitched about Clark? Don’t put words in my mouth I never said. Penn is lost, can’t tackle and has no speed.

Penn is average at best.
Perkins was not used correctly for his strengths.
Weeks brothers couldn't get on the field bc our staff thought #0 was better. #0 had me screaming for a DJ welter return

Remember our top linebackers in the league right now weren’t 5 stars. Mid range 4 star Devine White not even listed as a linebacker. and Patrick Queen 3 star also not even listed as a linebacker.

I’m thinking long and hard but can’t think of a moment Maason Smith was at linebacker this season .

Greg penn is the softest LB I’ve ever seen suit up for LSU. Constantly bullied by linemen and fills wrong gaps most of the time

This is all true of Speights, not Penn. Penn at least looked like he wanted to be out there. I thought Penn was pretty serviceable down the stretch. Speights on the other hand....
