One of my favorite Tigers

Aranda's scheme didn't help our DL or DL recruiting
But it sure helped our LBs. I hope you realize that Pellini will be the other way around.

Pete Jenkins said he was the best D Lineman he ever seen.

And one difference is that DL find it somewhat un-natural to be a block eater while LBs are taught from the beginning to read-react from that position.
So while I can see it having an effect, I think the Aranda-to-DL effect is greater than the Pelini-to-LB effect is.
Who know's, we are all basing this off of "Historical Bo", not "Bo with a great offense coming back to coordinator level under CEO" Bo, which we haven't seen yet. He's not going to stray too far from what he does, but it might be different enough this time around we're all spewing incorrect BS.

When Pelini was here the first time we had droves of talent on the dline. We had LBs like Luke Sanders and Derry Beckwith who weren’t the level of player we’ve seen lately at LSU. We did have Ali Higsmith who was a great college LB but I think you’re right in stating that it’s a wait and see on exactly which unit will take the lead and shine over the next couple of years. Do we see multiple Highsmith type of performances during a season or does a Dlineman make a huge jump in terms of measurable production statistically.

He will regret that decision. Playing for 6-6 USCw. He'll get to the league but won't have near the joy of playing for something real in college. Sad thing is, he would have played a lot this year.

Burrow, Chase, Clyde, Jefferson, Stingley, et al, got most of the props because that’s what skill guys get, but Lawrence, Lewis and some of the other guys that will play in the pros are as big a reason as any as to why we won the Natty. This was ONE special team we witnessed.

You’re right, the defense was lights out once they got healthy. Nobody in the country had a 4-5 game stretch vs elite competition like LSUs defense last season.

Dude is going to be like Kyle Williams in the league. If he says healthy he will play for 10 years.

Give me the better d line 10 times out of 10. A great d line can make an average LB group look really good. A great LB group can be neutralized if they have an average d line in front of them.

Lawrence’s only problem at LSU was health. When he was healthy he was great.

Maybe, but it made NFL stars out of our linebackers

Quietly made improvement every game, every year here. Interior DL is hard to stand out in Aranda's system, but really should have been showered with awards.

Rashard was all class and a great Tiger. And he went against the grain for NE Louisiana players picking LSU over Bama when we had been mediocre for several years. I hope he has a hall of fame career.
Posted on 8/24/20 at 9:50 am to LSU-DUDE
so proud of him! He worked his rear end off to be ready last fall. Wish him the best in post-LSU world!

Great Tiger Great Warrior stay healthy he has a Kyle Williams like career
Posted on 8/24/20 at 10:46 am to LSU-DUDE
Very happy for that young man. He gave it his all....on every play.
He will do well in his career in the NFL.

True to some extent. I think what also huts him is that his body type is not ideal for an interior DT. He's built kind of top heavy, which may be some of the reason he struggled with leg injuries at LSU.
Great guy to have on your team. He's going to play hard and he's going to play through pain. Just like he did at LSU he's good and quick enough to make a few splash plays a game, but probably not a guy who will dominate the LOS. Still, you could do a lot worse than having a guy like Lawrence on your team.
