re: Defensive mvp so far?

Eric Stokes is so damn good. He just quietly goes about dominating guys.

Stokes will allow guys to get by him (by being aggressive at the line or on underneath cuts). But stokes has the speed to recover. I've seen 2 times where receivers had him by a step but the QB couldnt find the WR. Being aggressive is what makes stokes great.

Nolan smith has been disappointing IMO.

I wouldn't say that Nolan has been disappointing. I have seen about 4 plays where he sucked in on the line and had no chance to seal the edge. And being disciplined to his edge was something that I bragged about to Tennessee and Auburn fans (he has made a liar out of me). But he was dominant against Arkansas holding the edge. He is a big, strong, smart kid who is getting better.

Bama fans dont even know.
LSU fans are in denial (their only run game for 3 quarters was Burrow... and Bama doesnt have a Burrow).

I think Travon walker and herring have been underwhelming so far. I thought walker was gonna become a star this year

I disagree. Herring and Walker reset the offensive line. Davis isnt plugging 6 gaps on his own. Herring and Walker are creating pass rush as well. They are a handfull and that opens up the interior for ILBs and exterior for safeties and CBs.
