Are fine. All of you crybabies, who've been raining on everyone's party, are incorrect in your assumptions that we're screwed. We have 7 scholarship DTs with two that are upperclassmen. We have 8 LBs if you count Voorhies. Guys will step up. So please, rest easy and quit whining.

The lb worry is not for 2015, it's for 2016 when half those guys graduate. Will probably need true frosh to contribute immediately that season.

yea we have 8 real LB's on the roster and 3 are going to be seniors and Beckwith can leave early. LB is a MAJOR concern in the next class. As will the DL. Considering we have a DC that runs the 3-4 the line and LB corps will need to be overhauled.

The thing is if a 5 star stud like Garrett didn't see the field as a true freshman, then who can at LSU? It usually takes at least a season before their linebackers become major contributors. And what if a guy like Donnie Alexander doesn't step up? Im not going to worry about Garrett being unhappy or whatever, but things happen and going a full class without a key position can come back to bite them.

Worried about the backup lbs being too young? Hmmm

They might not be backups out of necessity.

Well with our recruiters and the promise of immediate playing time, we may get some serious players. Hows about that.

You and I are saying the same thing. Don't think you understood me. I think we will need for sure 1 maybe 2 JUCO LB's in next years class to help out.

Not one DL or LB in the class and the delusional "Sand Headers" are saying all is well and everything is fine.

Let's all hope Garrett wasn't over evaluated. He sure struggled once the heat and humidity hit him. Word is he's good to go now..,,,,,,,.........we will see

Where did you get this Gem!

This will not be out primary front. We will use the 3-4 some depending on down and situations but I don't think it will be our bread and butter

This. And even then it could very well be more a 3-3-5 with one of our badass DB's sliding up in the box.

Of course all is not well and everything is not fine. Far from it. Nothing is all right with anything regarding LSU football. It's all bad all of the time. And we should be grateful that a renowned football expert like you takes time to come here and point that out.

PLease come back often because what this site really needs is more people like you telling us how bad things are.
