Our front 7 is loaded with talent and more experience now in depth, talking Fehoko, Alexander, Lawrence backed up by guys like Logan, Shelvin, Farrell. Not a single true freshman in that group up front. The biggest difference is dealing with Fehoko and Alexander up front vs. Gilmore and LaCouture from last season, guys who are NFL quality vs. guys who were not.
Then at LB Chaisson, Phillips, White and Thornton backed up by Moore, Taylor, Queen and Divinity. Again, not a single true freshman in that group and Moore being the only newcomer as a JUCO.
Front 7 should be very good, the only questions really are at safety opposite Delpit, but there's a ton of talent there, and then CB opposite Greedy.

But but but..Jacknola said!!!
It will be interesting to watch Battle & Monroe duke it out for the opposite safety spot from Delpit.
I think they like Battle's knowledge of our defense and making sure people are in the right spot. Monroe's pass coverage needs work but he's a hit stick waiting to happen.
I think we'll see Kary Vincent start out as the opposite CB from Greedy - I'm hoping Kelvin Joseph can log meaningful minutes as the season goes on.
But Jacknola is right, we are fricked.

Oh looky here.... a list of names PROVING LSU is going to have an amazing defense. Why everyone knows that Boudreaux, Thibidoux, Alfonso, Larry, Moe, and Curly, backed up by Huey, Dewey, and Lewey, are going to be unstoppable. Uhhhh ... who?
Of course exactly one front 7 player from LSU was picked on the preseason all/SEC teams, but what do those idiots know ... they all hate LSU. Of course the players that couldn’t start last year will all be better this year than the players they couldn’t beat out last year, who got pushed around last year. And just look at all those names of LBs...most of whom were recruited as DEs, none (except White) of whom have proven to be first class SEC quality yet, much less the 6-7 quality LBs you need to run a season/game long 3-4.
But what is particularly laughable is the way the wittle tiggers react to a simple caution. Just saying “whoa” is akin to blasphemy about something that as been repeated so often on Tr that it MUST be true. Uhhh... no one has said anyone was bad...I said they were unlikely to be as good as Ala, Aub, State, and Ga. and they are unproven...and the college football commentators are not particularly impressed, and there is a reason prognosticators are calling LSU at 7-5 or so. It is hard for me to envision a top three defense on a 7-5 team...but perhaps I lack imagination.
But just go ahead and get your bung hole all red and sore...and pretend no one was saying 8-first round draft picks, etc. last year. Maybe I’ll be surprised at how good the LSU defense will be this year. Right now I’m looking at game tapes of the D in the State and Troy games, especially the play of the front seven. Perhaps I’ll have an epiphany.
