Video: LSU Tigers' defense in 2013
March, 22, 2013
By ESPN.com staff | ESPN.com
Chris Low discusses the challenge facing LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis after losing seven starters off last season's defense.
Anyone
who thinks LSU will be weak on D this year has not been keeping up with
chavis and miles recruiting and player develoment the last several
years.

Geaux Tigers!!!

Hey yo Chris..left your box of tampons out on the shelf...
But yeah, this will be a reload instance..not rebuild. Geaux Tigers.

We will see. Losing 7 starters is a lot plus losing the backups hurts even worse.
----------------------
----------------------
Don't be silly. You think Bama is the only team in this league that reloads?
---------------------
---------------------
You
saw what happened in 2010 when Bama lost 9 starters on defense. Don't
think LSU will do much better. Come on, you may give Alabama a good
game, which you do, but you aren't any better than Alabama. Losing 7
starters is going to be tough for LSU.
--------------------------
--------------------------
I
don't think anyone is saying the 2013 defense will be a world-beater,
but I think it could be in the top 15 or 20 in the country...which is
technically down for LSU's standards, but still not terrible. For other
teams, losing 7 starters would hurt quite a bit, but for a few years now
LSU has been playing every position on defense 2-to-3 deep bc we've had
the talent to do it. Just because these new guys are first-time
starters doesn't mean it's their first time playing against SEC
competition. ...more
----------------------
----------------------
I may be wrong here...feeling too lazy to look it up for sure, BUT...
All new men being plugged in were 4-5 star prospects with 1-2 years of development under their belts, not to mention...there will only be a few positions where it will be a fresh man making a name for himself.. everyone else has already had some success backing up the beasts now getting ready to play on Sunday. Also..our secondary started/had playing time as freshman/ sophomores. We have young talented AND experienced guys this...more

I've already tried to explain that, but she abides by the Chris Low school of returning talent, whatever that is.
----------------------
----------------------
Something I remember Bama did not have in '10. It was a bunch of completely fresh faces.
Also..Anthony "the freak" Johnson will cement that interior..we will have a solid D.
and p.s. ...watch out for that LSU offense.. gonna be nasty!

I told her about the Freak. Her response was to tell me Mosley had 8 TFLs. I didn't bother to tell her Freak had 10.
------------------------
------------------------
And that was from the DT position, where it's harder to get TFLs.

Football Ready for First Spring Scrimmage
by Michael Bonnette (@LSUBonnette), Associate Athletic Director/SID
BATON ROUGE – LSU will go through its first scrimmage of the spring on Saturday in Tiger Stadium – weather permitting - as the Tigers conclude their second week of spring drills.
Saturday’s scrimmage is scripted for about 100 plays, with the first and second teams getting between 35 and 40 snaps each. The scrimmage is scheduled for Tiger Stadium, however in the event of rain, the Tigers will move the workout to the indoor practice facility.
“I just want to see us execute the things we have going so far,” Miles said of what he expects out of Saturday’s scrimmage. “I want to see where we are at, that’s all. I want to see physicality and the ability to run it and throw it, tackle it and hang on to the ball which is what we have done in the past in terms of ball security.”
Miles said that the scrimmage will focus mainly on 1st and 10 situations and that all four healthy quarterbacks on the roster will get snaps. Backup quarterback Rob Bolden continues to recover from a knee injury and will not participate in live action this spring.
Saturday’s scrimmage will also be the first for new LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. Cameron joined the Tigers in early February after spending the last 11 years in the NFL.
“I like what we’ve been able to get accomplished so far,” Miles said of his teams’ effort through the first five practices this spring. “I think our team is going to take the 15 practices that we have and be the best that we can be. Every guy is improving. Every guy is working hard. We made real improvement with each practice. I like where we are.”
After Saturday, the Tigers return to practice on Monday for the first of three workouts next week. LSU will also practice on Tuesday and scrimmage on Thursday before taking a week off for spring break. LSU is scheduled to host its annual Pro Day next Wednesday.
LSU will conclude spring drills on Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m. with the annual National L-Club Spring Game in Tiger Stadium. Admission to the spring game is free.

LSU Spring Football Practice Report, 3/21
Another full pad workout today for the Tigers

That was a very interesting report about spring practice because
we can certainly see that like everything else in life our individuality
must stay resilient about learning the tricks of the trade of our
crafts.
The instincts of a defensive football player to watch the football is all well and good, but what good is it, if you are to far away from the receiver. Knowing where the receiver is running, or running to, is as important as watching the football.
All in all keeping their football ability going hand in hand, one without the other is not very effective. That insight into the LSU coaching staff instructing the LSU football players to apply their common sense to playing smart college football was very interesting.

Latest Recruiting News
All Stories | All Videos
John Curtis wide receiver Malachi Dupre is one of the most sought after prospects in the nation for the Class of 2014. With offers from LSU, Florida State and Notre Dame to name a few, the 6-foot-3, 190-pounder certainly has myriad choices on the recruiting trail.
Dupre, No. 7 in the NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune's Fantastic 40, recently took another visit to LSU to watch practice.
"I went with my dad and my brother," Dupre said. "My brother has come to games with me and stuff before, so it was just another trip for him. He knows a lot of the players on the team already."
Dupre also had a chance to talk to LSU's new offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron, and he came away impressed.
"When I got there, I first met Cam Cameron," he said. "He was practicing with the team and when he saw me, he ran over and was telling me how excited he was to finally meet me.
"He was talking about how I jump and how he wanted to meet me for so long. He seems like a really cool guy."
During last summer's LSU prospect camps, Dupre was one of the most impressive athletes in attendance and immediately caught the eyes of Tigers wide receivers coach Adam Henry and the rest of Coach Les Miles' staff. On his most recent trip, Dupre had the opportunity to hear from the coaches and the plan they had in place for him.
"Coach Henry was talking about the offense and why they do the things they do," Dupre said. "He was explaining to me where I fit in and explained how they don't have the big wide receiver on the outside, yet. I also got to meet with the other coaches, too.
"Coach Miles was talking about the renovations to the stadium and how they were going to use me. Then he started talking about the 'Harlem Shake' and the video; they had just finished their video, too. It was funny because he was talking about how he didn't know how to dance."
While things seemed light hearted for the early part of the trip, there became a time when the two sides discussed Dupre's potential commitment to LSU.
"The mood changed and things got serious real quick," Dupre said. "The coaches are easy to talk to because they are so cool, which made it pretty easy. They were talking about me committing and they have a plan about what they want to do with me. They were talking about me playing the X position and learning how to play every wide receiver position and moving me around. We watched some stuff on (Detroit Lions receiver) Calvin Johnson, and we were watching how they use him at different positions and that is what they want to do with me.
"I talked to (recruiting coordinator) Frank (Wilson) one time a week before I went there ... he knows how all the big schools are coming after me and was asking me if I knew when I might pull the trigger. So, none of it surprised me really, I just wasn't ready (to commit) yet."
Prepared or not, the whole process can take a toll on any prospect. Even the rewards for their success can come with big decisions.
"I got invited to the Army All-American Game (in San Antonio) recently," Dupre said. "There is even pressure with that stuff because they want you to sign a paper saying you won't play in any other All-American games. Nothing comes easy with this stuff. The Army Game has a lot of prestige. Joe McKnight was the only other player from our school that ever got invited so I am honored."
