    Collins wasn't "turrible", but I feel better with Diaz running our defense. Statistically we were very respectable for scoring defense, but we gave up a lot of yards and too many big pass plays. I think Manny's defense will be better at getting off the field and giving the ball back to Dak.

    This is what bothers me
    Most about your rival coach talking to one of your best players. I'm not trying to bring it back up but you can affect a kids mood really easy. Like someone mentioned in this thread...

    " yeah, if you were here you'd be an end"
    " we'll just hang in there... You'll be a pro soon."
    " you can only play your best at your true position and that's DE."

    etc...
    Etc....

    Little things that kill motivation.

    Last year we were 8th in the SEC in scoring defense. When Manny was here we were 3rd in the SEC in scoring defense.

    You misunderstood me. I think we will improve our scoring defense some and our total defense and pass defense a lot. Good lord, we were 12th in total defense and dead last in pass defense last year.

    He can be a 3-4 DE- which is basically a DT. He is a CFL player as a 4-3 DE.

    You're not the only one who thought that when you heard it. Robbie on No Holds Barred talks about it at the 19:20 mark on today's "Day two of fall camp in the books for Miss state" podcast.http://www.bulldogsportsradio.com/

    Bob now has his article out - I suggest reading it https://hailstatebeat.wordpress.com/...nior-campaign/

    I think this paragraph is telling:
    He’s got reason to believe he will, too, as a new scheme under new defensive coordinator Manny Diaz ought to showcase Jones’ immense talents. To hear the 6’6” behemoth explain it, the defense last year had the defensive line setting things up for the linebackers to make plays. The plan under Diaz, Jones says, is for the defensive linemen to be the ones making those big plays as the scheme puts he and his teammates in one-on-one situations with an opportunity to get in the backfield quickly.

Also have you ever thought that we are weaker at DT than LB and maybe he will play some end in a 3-4 to get the most talent on the field. Some of our fans throw players under the bus more than Freezus...
    Yeah, people read into what was stated. Just like the weight of dak.

    Bob's article on Jones was a good read.
