I think we’ll be fine at the defensive tackle spot this year
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:11 pm
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:11 pm
Not elite like we want but enough bodies to get the job done. Here’s what we have so far
Returning:
Jacobian Guillary - 6’2” 320
Jalen Lee - 6’3” 308
Preston Hickey - 6’1” 300
***Kimo Makane'ole - 6'4" 310
Incoming:
Shone Washington - 6’4” 309
Ahmad Breaux - 6’2” 250
Dominick McKinley - 6’5” 280
De’Myrion Johnson - 6’3” 280
We will have 9 defensive tackles this year and we had 9 on the roster last year. We lost Wings and Jefferson but our line didn’t have a coach for half the season
We now have the best coach in the country. We will be fine if not improve.
Update: Kimo Makane'ole 6'4" 310 pounds will be converting to Defensive tackle. Took Jones and Shand off the list after Kelly's announcement

Jones and Shand aren’t DTs
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:15 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Jones has moved inside?
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:15 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
You are listing guys that aren't defensive tackles
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:16 pm to sunnydaze
Jones and Shand are expected to move inside

Having bodies isn’t the concern.
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:17 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Yep, and as I've said and you did, Shand and Jones will move inside...for sure Shand. Also, they will add one more DT transfer in May. DT will not remotely be an elite position but no one has studs at every position...not even Alabama or Georgia. The outside LOS players should be elite and I'm going to incredibly disappointed if the pass rush isn't near the top of the SEC instead of 11th in sacks like this season.

Who said that? And what makes you think that they will be any good inside?
Also, listing guys like Preston Hickey doesn't mean shite. No offense to him..

If you think having guys that are 6'2" 250 playing DT is helping your argument, I've got some bad news for you. 5 of the guys you listed are 280 lbs or less

Jones could maybe play the 3 tech on 3rd down and obvious pass rush situations, but he is not a tackle. He’s a hands in the ground defensive end.

Kelly said in a presser that edge guys will be moved inside. These are the biggest ones
I also don’t believe we will run a true 4-3 defense in year one under baker

And I don’t think we ever really will. You have to do too much on defense now to be able to have a true 4-3.

Again, what makes you think they will be good defensive tackles?
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:25 pm to LSBoosie
I don’t think they’ll be dominant but I see them being used in that role more often than not for depth pieces. You’ll have Guillory and Lee starting with Washington and McKinley tagging them out. The others will be used sparingly or for scheme purposes.
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:29 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
I think you are fooling yourself into thinking that we are in a better spot than we really are

I see the majority of the snaps being
Dline:
Guillory
Lee
Washington
Womack
Linebacker
Weeks
Perkins
Penn
Corner
Ryan
Stamps
Safety
Gilbert
Toviano/burns

3 are DEs and 3 are freshman, love your enthusiasm but we ARE NOT fine

Jones was a bad defensive end and often got pushed back off the LOS at end. There no way he would be serviceable at DT. Shand is the only option to switch IMO. It’s just going to be a weak position and prevent LSU from doing anything meaningful this year. I predict another 9-3 season.
we’ll be fine at the defensive tackle spot this year

I just have faith that Bo Davis will be able to get them ready. I’m giving it a boost because of that X factor. If it was the same defensive staff last year I’d say we fricked
Posted on 2/10/24 at 3:59 pm to LSBoosie
Mike Detillier for one said that Shand would move inside to DT. I don't think he mentioned Jones but as several posters have pointed out, Jones has become too slow for an outside guy due to his putting on weight.
