Offense and this is going to sound weird, doesn't concern me. The Oline will be better, still have great tailbacks, our receivers have gotten better, Mett will be awesome. Defense concerns me
only thing that should concern you is depth along the defensive line, Linebackers and Secondary will be our strengths, I doubt E. Reid or Lotson leaves
It's not like our vaunted all-everything DL has been setting the world on fire the last 3 weeks. I'm no draft expert, but it's obvious to me Reid needs another year. Then again I never saw Tyson Jackson as a 1st rounder.
Hopefully Minter will be back, then Tahj Jones and Kwon will be there. The defensive end position leaves little to be desired. As far as I know all we have is Rasco, who plays the other end next season? If Bennie Logan comes back, and I don't know if he will, Bennie Logan, Freak Johnson, that's pretty solid. In the back, Reid and Loston will be back, but I really hope they have a better year than this. Tharold Simon, and Jalen Mills on the corner, Jalen Collins, Micah Eugene, Ronald Martin all filling in as nickel and back up safeties. On offense, PJ and Josh D are the only ones gone. Bull and Dozer back, Elliot Porter at center, Chris Faulk and La'El Collins anchoring the left. Mettenberger back, Boone, Wright, Landry, OBJ and some freshmen will have a chance to play. In the backfield, Hill, Hilliard, Blue, Ford, Ware maybe? Anyone think Ware comes back? By the way, didn't hear it much but haven't been on here in a few days, thought Travis Dickson had a nice game against Ole Miss. Chase Clement is gone, but Dickson could be that Dallas Clark type fullback and tight end, like his brother was. JC Copeland is probably back as well for his senior season.
Too many LB'ers on the roster, we took care of that last year(We only have 1 LB verbal for the 2013 class). DE, Rasco and Hunter, a TF or two will get a good shot with some mins. DT, Logan if he comes back, Freak and Ego, this also is another position that a TF could step up. Simon and Mills at CB, Loston at one Safety spot. Reid will have a shot to go out, but word is, he may return. DB's are one of the deeper positions next year, along with LB'er on that side of the ball.
Porter at OC, Collins and Turner at OG (Williford is one to keep an eye on). OT has Alexander and Faulk. Next year looks to be one of the deeper OL Les will have since getting to LSU. WR only has Shep leaving, many return, I want to see the Dural kid into the mix. TE has Gordon playing this year, Nic Jacobs is one that we'll see play out. Dickson had a good game last Saturday night.
dont forget about the true freshmen and the redshirt guys next year. the interior of the line will be the strength.
