Defensively I think we'll be ok. Keys and Singleton looked good and are actually faster than Weeks. The biggest thing you lose is leadership but Dottery will be able to help with that. Getting Green back is going to be huge but if Leavitt can continue to improve then guys like Watkins and Harris will feast.

You don't understand the linebacker position do you?

I think he's repeating himself too much about the injuries like they are the end of the season. it's a defeatists attitude and i'm getting tired of it. maybe he's trying to motivate the replacements; don't know.

Do you? Dottery and Keys were #1 and #4 in tackles in the SEC last year. Of course we'd love for Weeks to be out there but acting like Keys is some huge drop off is dumb.

Spears is a good player. But now maybe the secondary becomes a bit better by moving Thomas to safety and Benefield (who is a better player than Spears) to Star. Of course, if the injuries continue to pile up there will be more cause for concern. But things aren't "devastating" yet.
Agreed the whit injury sucksss but we are deep at lb. Losing green sucks but it forces other guys to step up in his absence like Jackson Harris.
Now if we were to lose a guy in a position where depth is thin that’s when shite gets sticky. Like we absolutely can’t lose dj Pickett or princewill those would be two loses tough to overcome.

Maybe he’s sand bagging a bit and letting the media propagate the exaggeration to catch other teams sleeping on a wounded Tiger! I only say this because, it seems like Lane loves to use the psyop part of the game to get any advantage he can!

There’s no shot for a championship this year but still could be a solid season.

Depth was always a concern and it’s coming super early

People see the names and freak out. But why not wait to see what actually happens on the field before declaring the season a lost cause.
Green was out vs. A&M. He was not necessarily replaced. But his production was. The passes that may have otherwise gone to him went to Harris who had a monster game. LSU did not really miss a beat from a production standpoint.
Spears was out for this game. Yet, LSU had a dominant performance against a QB that has killed them in the last two games. So yes, while the "name" was out, the actual production did not suffer.
We will have to wait until the UK game to see how big of a loss Weeks is from a production standpoint (assuming everything else remains equal)
Leavitt is the biggest question. If he is out for an extended period then the discussion changes simply because of the position he plays.

We’ve lost one starter who won’t return this year
Yes, but two starters who may return won’t be playing against UK, Moo U and Auburn. That’s three SEC teams, none of which are gimmes. Assuming Green returns for Alabama, he’s not going to be in top game shape, etc. I’d be surprised if Weeks is back for Bama, so what football shape will he be in if he returns for Texas?

BooHoo

I think guys will step up. They did when weeks went down. Hope everyone can get healthy

very true and good post. It is possible though that A&M is not very good. Plus there was no tape on the replacements yet.

Positive vibes - we’re going to develop depth in October with some guys getting skins on the wall. Whit and Trey’Dez will be back for November and December.

ready to make a run in his final year.
Now with the new 5 for 5 rule. Whit could come back next year if he wants.
Albeit, he doesn’t try out for the NFL…

Felt like losing Whit really bummed him out too. I’m sure they have a bond with him dating Landry.

I think our only chance of making any noise is squeaking by with no more than one more loss and hope a lot of the injured guys can come back and have enough time to get back up to speed before the regular season ends. I think 9-3 is likely our ceiling with these injuries.
All of this. My hope is that, should we finish 9-3 and just miss the playoff, the new culture in the building is for everyone to play in what should still be a good bowl game and finish strong.

Have full confidence in this staff and this team. However that ends up looking like record wise.
I enjoy the growing pains (Hate the injuries). The program is on track again.
The young fellows will compete hard and we will battle all year long. It’ll be fun. Hopefully, we’re one of the best 12 left standing. They will have deserved it, if so.
