Lovett is the key.
Agree with the wasn’t as good as Smitherman ..
Cole , landrews, CJ Morgan, Fred Peters, Murphy, that’s a lot of talent to have at the safety and backend positions as well.
The backend will be strong again for us and having Shoop is huge... you all saw the jump Abram made last year
And back to Cole.. if he stays healthy this year.. he will make himself a lot of money.
Fun to bump and see how people thought about things 2 months ago vs now
And 2 months later 007 still arguing shit that he was told would happen. Now it's just excuses.
Him trying to tell me the pass rush would be about the same was why I saved the thread. I knew that shit wasnt happening
Y'all please keep rolling with the wisdom of the Double Naught spy, it's fantastic.
Still trying to figure out why everyone always wants to assume LSU is a somewhat sure win for us. And AU too. And TN in year 2 of Pruitt. Sure they may be right but they also thought Kirby wasn't nothing special in year 1.
Too many fans are prisoners of the moment and dont understand the situations people walk into can be vastly different. Plus- sometimes people just see what they want to see. Like Orgeron- if you cant see that he has matured into a solid HC you are an idiot. He has figured out he can be the HC at LSU a long time if he will recruit like Hell and let his Coordinators do their thing. It's showing up on the field now. He is still a meathead moron- but he isnt too dumb to keep making the same mistakes and has figured out to stick to things he is good at- recruiting and motivation
No Gunn. No boy. Tammy.
And the crickets go chirp chirp
notice 007 is nowhere near this damn thread
He spent all night searching for dumber posts in this forum's history, but hasn't found any yet. News flash, he won't. Dude is either dumb as hell or just a very bored troll.....at this point it might be the better play for him to just say "gotcha!", and take off running and create a new username.

I'm not generally a fan of 34, but we've been eye to eye on this season, and JoMo, all summer.
And 34 owned a lot of people in this thread.
I'm typically an Ari Gold fan, but even he blew it ITT.
I will admit that our defense is a lot shittier than I thought. I probably gave too much credit to Shoop. I believed the Cole hype along with the hype of Rivers. I thought we could scheme around some of the deficiencies at DT but I think we miss the player leadership a lot.
We miss Willie Gays leadership on the field more than anything. Heard from several defensive players this weekend that he makes things run on D and that we just don't have anyone else right now to fill his leadership void. Erroll Thompson is well respected and looked up to but just not the alpha that Wille is and that Simmons and Abrams were.
And unfortunately we can't gamble with the 3 games he has left. He has to play against UT and UM and very well might have to play against Ark. It would depend on what they look like as a team at that time. Ark probably should have beaten A&M. If they are getting it together then you need to keep Gay back for that game instead of playing him at A&M. We can afford to lose A&M but not Ark.
I personally thought we would drop from #1 to #25-30 but we would still be good. I bought into the hype of Rivers being just a little behind Sweat (Rivers is just showing as an average DE) and Cole (he is good but we miss Abram's brain as much as everything else). Then losing Autry and Gay is just more than this defense could take. Leo is at best an average LB and Errol has taken a step back to close to average but still a little above.
I also gave too much credit to Shoop in that I thought he could scheme around some of the issues but we haven't done too well with that. Dantzler and Smitherman have been good but not great and we have actually played Jarrian Jones and Emerson more than I would have thought 2 freshmen should be in the game. Dantzler being banged up some has not helped matters.
