re: I think this defense could be elite

What exactly are you disagreeing with here?

That every SEC school has a 2 deep that looks like LSU. Or that they all even have starters that look as good as ours on paper. I get that it’s only on paper at this point and when the games start every player most likely won’t be as good as we think they will be but this defense is as complete as could possibly be ON PAPER and I sincerely disagree that every SEC school can boast the same.

So you’re saying that out of all the top teams in the SEC and across the country, LSU is the only team with a group of complete stud athletes???

---

Nope. I certainly didn't say that. UGA , Ohio State, and Texas most likely all have good depth. I disagree that ALL the top teams have this much depth and studs at every level. (On paper at least)

ou don’t even know the two-deep of any roster except for LSU’s, so please explain to me how you’re qualified to make a statement like that?

---

This is true. But I have followed LSU very closely for a very long time and the number of times LSU has had this kind of depth on defense can be counted on one hand. And those years that LSU had good depth were not during the transfer portal era where backups don't stick around. Gone are the days of Bama and UGA stacking 5 star after 5 star and those guys patiently waiting their turn. The fact that LSU seems to be 2 deep at every single spot with quality depth during the transfer portal era is astonishing.

So with all this knowledge I have garnered over the years, I conclude that not many teams (if any) have the front line talent AND depth that LSU will brandish this fall.

That’s not what I said though…
This is what I said:

What yall fail to realize is that just about every single top team in the SEC and across the country can do the same exact thing.

Once again, you say this without having any knowledge of other rosters (you even said this yourself). It’s just an absurd thing to say.

It’s the perfect example of looking at shite with purple and gold glasses on

DT looks to have 4 maybe 5 guys that can play (McKinley, Gooden, Breaux, Guillery, and Mitchell) and McKinley could possibly be a real difference maker while Gooden seems to be a high level player as well.

---

this is the difference from recent years. an actual rotation of guys that he played significant snaps. big guys and "smaller" guys that can take on more or fewer snaps as situations or teams may dictate.

as I have said many times recently, talent is here. It is up to coach Williams. And I have every confidence in the world in him.

By the end of the year, Delane and Haulcy will be All SEC. Pickett will be SEC freshman of the year. Mark my words.

You morons are giving your QB a HOF gold jacket before he even starts an opening game Not to mention losing your entire o-line. FOH

And you morons are talking about having an elite defense despite never watching 75% of the players play a single down. Arch is going into his 3rd season and he's one of if not the highest rated recruits in history, literally had the highest QB rating in CFB last year and is heisman preseason favorite

Texas lost 4 starters on it's line, LSU lost all 5 given Chester changed positions(he was THE WORST starting C in CFB last year FYI)

Here's the difference, the Texas replacements all played very well last season and have multiple years of experience practicing/playing/building chemistry together as a cohesive unit

LT Banks 89.0 PBLK/81.0 RBLK vs Goosby 89.0 PBLK/67.5 RBLK
LG Conner 88.6 PBLK/68.3 RBLK vs Neto 81.2 PBLK/71.6 RBLK
C Majors 85.1 PBLK/68.5 RBLK vs Robertson 78.8 PBLK/71.1 RBLK
RG Campbell returning
RT Williams 77.2 PBLK/73.6 RBLK vs Baker 80.2 PBLK/64.9 RBLK

Meanwhile LSU's crew was GARBAGE and has 2 portals that are new to the system

LT Campbell 80.6 PBLK/69.7 RBLK vs Adams 70.2 PBLK/56.0 RBLK
LG Dellinger 80.0 PBLK/69.3 RBLK vs Chester 62.6 PBLK/48.2 RBLK
RT Jones 67.4 PBLK/61.0 RBLK vs Davis 74.0 PBLK/61.4 RBLK

With football it's all about how well you play together

A lot of the issues on defense over the last few years were miscommunications in the secondary IMO

Arch came from podunk high and has the Manning name. He has never played a meaningful snap against a good team. JB was in his 4th year starting for the first time had struggled a good bit out of the gate. Now, Texas only plays one of the top sec teams again this year, so they do have that going for them...but he is going to have massive growing pains.

You are also a troll, and not a particularly good one....you won't be here by opening weekend if you dont chill.

Admin?

Send this fricker to the sec rant.

I’m very excited about this team


But acting like other teams don’t have the same type of athletes that LSU has is crazy man, that’s all I’m saying
