Freak will be filling Brockers' shoes. Ego and Mickey will be filling Freak's shoes.

Jefferson, expect a 4 loss season without him.

Correction: Ego, QT and Mickey will be filling Freak's shoes. I think we'll be fine there. Last year we weren't sure who would fill Nevis' shoes.

Rueben. This is the first time LSU hasn't had a big physical #1 WR since, I don't know when. Before Josh Reed perhaps???


I am interested to see how this pans out. He is up there on my list, but there always seemed something missing about him. Perhaps, like it is with Kobe, the ease at which he accomplishes things on the field make it seem like he is not trying. I am curious to see whether the possibly less talented but hungrier guys step up and make that a plus for us in 2012.

RR is going to be harder to replace than Mo and Brockers imo since there is so much proven depth at D-line and DB's. It'll be interesting to see what other DT slides in next to Bennie but there is much less experience at WR outside of Odell Beckham.

I'm thinking Taylor. It's hard to replace the "QB" of a defense. Plus Simon replaces Mo, Freak replaces Brocker. RR is a hit but I doubt it's have too much effect of the offense.

Yeah, I'm on the BT as the biggest loss bandwagon, myself.

I would expect the same with him.

yeah, but I can't think of a better replacement than Eric Reid. and Loston's no slouch, provided he can stay healthy.

it's a toss up out of Taylor, Brock, and Randle, and yet I don't think any of the 3 are all that hard to replace.

Claiborne, by far.


I wouldn't say by far. Simon will step in and fill the shutdown role just like Claiborne did when Peterson departed.

Early was about 6"1' and pretty well built. Not overly physical but I would still classify him as a bigger LSU receiver.

Mo Claiborne. TM7 is a great nickel back; but he's no Mo as a #1 corner. I think Brockers/Taylor are close second, but their replacements give me plenty of hope. Freak and Loston both have sky high potential.

Claiborne w/o a doubt. I'd have said Randle if he had a set of QB's who got him the ball on a regular basis, game in and game out but that didn't happen for whatever reason. Brockers is 2nd IMHO

Just think of how many yards RR would have had if someone could've gotten him the ball regularly....double that 900 maybe? No doubt he has the tools but he wasn't thrown to enough to really take advantage of those tools. How many yards did those 2 receivers from okie like and okie have this year? :)

We are more stacked at DL than DB, claiborne will be tough to replace but I see someone stepping up.
