The PFF grades and play on the field speak for themselves. TJ is the superior LB to Whit and is more deserving of wearing #7. Glad that Kiffin brought him over from Ole Miss, otherwise LB would be a weakness instead of a strength.

Excellent duo. Better together than by themselves. Both read and react w great intentions of doing harm to opponents. (LM)

Dottery is not having to wear the green dot. He is free to just play. I think that's the difference

A weakness? That’s stupid.

Even without Dottery, we would have had one of the best linebacker rooms in the country. With him, we have undoubtedly have the best linebacker unit in the country.

Everyone on this defense is being amplified by how good everyone around them is. Princewell is looking good because Jordan Ross is looking good. Because the ends look good, the defensive tackles are looking good. Because the defensive line looks good, the linebackers look good. Because both linebackers are amazing you can’t focus on either one of them. Because of the front seven is so good, the secondary hasn’t even been challenged yet.

He's been great, but this the most negative way you could have possibly said TJ has been great

Dumbass. Why do you have to shite on one player while complimenting the other even though both are playing well?

Also, learn how to spell Kiffin. It hurts your credibility when you can’t even spell the coach’s name.

Why can't they both be good? Hell, why can't they both be elite?

And as far as jersey numbers go, I got absolutely no problem with who the team chose. Whit and Tre'dez are alphas who have been with LSU from start to finish. They aren't one year rentals.

I love TJ Dottery but lets not get crazy here. They both play extremely well off each other. Whit is set up to be a First Round Draft Pick. Dottery isn't quite there but who knows if both continue to play the way they are playing they both might be drafted in the top 2 rounds of the draft.

Weeks clearly has the physical tools, remains to be seen if he has the intelligence to break down what he’s seeing out there. As we know, Dottery is a true student of the game, and appears to have the physical tools on par with or even better than Weeks

Glad we have em both!
