Put a little perspective on the size of the lines LSU will have this year:

Miles had mentioned that Alexander's weight was up and his body fat was down, for example; he checks in at 6-3 and 310 pounds. Jean-Francois is 6-3 and 289, Favorite is 6-1, 306, Woods is 6-4, 324 and Nevis is 6-1, 294. Redshirt freshman Kentravis Aubrey is no midget at 6-3, 296. The fact that these guys are this big and none of them are out of shape is pretty impressive - just as a comparison, the top six defensive tackles on the Saints' camp roster are Sedrick Ellis at 6-1, 307, Hollis Thomas at 6-0, 335, Kendrick Clancy at 6-1, 305, Brian Young at 6-2, 298, Antwan Lake at 6-4, 308 and Orien Harris at 6-3, 300. Not a lot of difference between the two groups - LSU averages 6-2 1/2 and 303 among its top six DT's and the Saints average 6-2 and 308.

To continue the comparison between the Tigers and the Saints at the line of scrimmage, from left to right LSU has Black at 6-5, 327; Johnson at 6-7, 386; Brett Helms at 6-2, 278; Lyle Hitt at 6-2, 289 and Joe Barksdale at 6-5, 315 across the front, for an average size of 6-4 and 319. The Saints, by comparison, go with Jammal Brown at 6-6, 313; Jahri Evans at 6-4, 318; Johnathan Goodwin at 6-3, 318; Jamar Nesbit at 6-4, 328 and Jon Stinchcomb at 6-5, 315 for an average of 6-4 1/2 and 318. In other words, LSU has NFL-sized linemen on both sides of the football. When you consider that guys like Jean-Francois, Alexander, Johnson and Black are no-doubt high draft picks, probably in April, you come to the conclusion that LSU has NFL-caliber talent, not just size. I'm not sure it's ever been like this.

Two things I noticed there. His body fat % seemed extremely low and he is extremely quick. I will be shocked if he does not go pro this year. What a monster. I wonder how 'ol Chaz from Auburn will enjoy getting ragdolled for the second straight year, but by another player??

Everyone here knows my feelings about our front lines.

We will be in every single game this season because of it.
