re: Let's talk defensive line

I think State is in line for the biggest drop off. No way they can replace that production from last years team. Simmons at times looked like the best dlineman in college football.

They were the most disruptive DL in the country IMHO, including Clemson.

You forgot the stud Dale.

I feel pretty good about the thicc boys rotation. Returning a lot of size and experience.

DE T.J. Carter (6-foot-4, 289 pounds, Sr.) 4th on the team in TFL last year
NG Quinton Bohanna (6-foot-4, 361 pounds, Jr.)
DE Calvin Taylor Jr. (6-foot-9, 310 pounds, Sr.)

DT Phil Hoskins (6-foot-5, 306 pounds, Sr.)
NG Marquan McCall (6-foot-3, 376 pounds, So.)
DE Josh Paschal (6-foot-3, 284 pounds, Soph.) Missed most of last season with cancer. Will likely take the starting spot. Had 3.5 sacks as a freshman.
DT Kordell Looney (6-foot-3, 297 pounds, Jr.)

Honestly don't know much about Dale. Is he poised to wreck shite?

Apparently has turned heads in spring, but it was spring so we'll see.

I feel like he has been around for 10 years. He is entering Marquise Maze territory.




LSU will be solid at DLine. We have 2 knowns on the line in Fehoko and Lawrence. Chaisson coming off an ACL tear, but he is the real deal when healthy. Noseguard is the big question for us. They are unproven, but potential is there. I'll name them and grade them

DE: Rashard Lawrence (A-) - Stud. NFL guy. Probably a 2nd/3rd round guy. Some plays he just blows into the backfield, but he can seem tired at times. You can make him a non-factor by running sideline to sideline like Bama does.

DE: Breiden Fehoko (B-) - He is a quality SEC DLinemen. He is very similar to Christian Lacouture or Davon Godchaux IMO. He rarely is pushed backwards off the line. He just doesn't create much of a push himself. Almost no pass rush ability, but he will make some crucial stops at the line.

DT: Tyler Shelvin / Apu Ika (C) - Shelvin has real talent, but has been a bit of an underachiever. Constantly overweight, but looks like he has taken significant strides at the end of last year and this year. Ika is a true freshmen. I normally disregard them, but he was dominant at times in the spring game. Last performance by a true freshman in a spring game that got me excited was Grant Delpit. The talent is there, but he is overweight. If he can drop 20 more pounds before the season, the guy can be a force.

OLB/Pass Rusher: K'Lavon Chaisson (A+ but ??) - Absolute beast. Potential 1st round pass rusher if he hasn't lost a step. Coming off an ACL tear though. Hopefully he is the same guy. Without him, we have to get creative to produce a pass rush. Having him changes the entire defensive scheme.

I love it

Their defense in 2014 was legit too though.

They had Chris Jones, Benadrick McKinny, Preston Smith. Those are good NFL guys

I was being serious
