Good to see 49 play with some fire yesterday. He is getting back to top form. Let's keep improving and see where this thing goes.

He was a liability most of the day but he ended the game with that sack.

He has a long way to go before he starts looking like 2016 Key, but he is getting a little closer every week.

LSU needs him to play as hard as Devin White.

You do realize they had him playing D Tackle and getting double teamed by the guard and tackle most of the day don't you?

good news is there is a decent chance we may have him next year now. He has sucked all season and after the mystery of WTH went on after the season last year I just couldn't imagine NFL teams risking an early pick on him. Will wait and see but his draft stock should have dropped drastically

I want to see Chassion played more. Maybe let him take some of Christian's snaps bc I saw #18 on his back too often yesterday.

The last two years he was almost always in on the tackle regardless of how wide the plays stretched. This year he is "near" the tackle standing up looking after having arrived two steps too late. And he seems to get personal fouls once a game now.

What does it take for someone to realize they have $10+ million, MILLION!!!!, riding on getting back in shape and playing disciplined football.

I disagree that he will come back as his draft stock drops. He has checked out and doesn't seem to have the want to correct his current status

He was only at DT for a handful of plays, not most of the day.

He's a shell of his 2016 self. If you can't see that, you aren't paying attention.

He has 3 weeks to work himself back into shape before Bama. We need him to get healthy and ready to play down the stretch.

Do you really think he is going to class? I think he’ll have to go pro next year no matter what.

Freaking THIS!!!! 100% THIS!! I’m sorry but he is hurting his team more than helping it. I don’t know what he went through in the offseason to contribute to this , but he has absolutely hurt this team because of it.

He did seem to be playing better, though he's still a ways away from his performance last season. I'd say in total he was average today where he looked pretty bad the last few weeks. Looked like he was getting double teamed a few times at least, which means the offense respects him enough to devote more protection to him. Even if his play might not necessarily merit it at this point it helps the others get pressure.

If we had 4-5 guys on each side of the ball that play Devin White hard, ew'd be unstoppable. That dude leaves it all out on the field.

I feel like he and Guice are both getting "healthier (not sure if that's the right word for Arden) and they should be back to form by the A&M game.

This. He showed special talent last year and now, he seems to always be too late to make the play.

Hopefully he will get that back, but at this pace, teams will not take a chance on him early. He needs to come back and dominate next year.

Yeah for like 3 or 4 plays. He also played OLB and dropped into coverage a few times.

But for the vast majority of the game he was in his usual position and did next to nothing except get a personal foul.

He did step up near the end and for a good qb pressure then the sack. But let’s not act like he’s D White out there.

Unless he gets hurt, there is zero chance he’s back next year.

I miss the Freshman Key. Give me 2015 or 2016 Key over the 2017 Marshmallow Man.
