DL Ranking

[Perpetual Underachiever]

I'm sure I missed a few, but here are the DL rankings according to multiple outlets:

Gridiron Now - 11

Saturday Down South - 14

AL.com - 9

Looking at our performance last year, I think a preseason rank of 9th is about where I would've put us. However, I think this unit will finish the season in the top 7. Losing Rivers hurts, but we should still be very solid. Simmons is going to have a MONSTER season. What say you?

I understand giving us no slack for last year but ranking 14 by SDS is idiotic. Have they seen UM's Dline? Haynes is the only guy off that line that probably gets in the rotation for us.

Yeah i disagree. Benito Jones would get some run.

[Steakonastick]

Benito Jones would start next to Simmons.

SDS..I'm pretty sure is edited by some OM homers.

I don't care if SDS is giving free bj's for a click, I wouldn't do it. 14th?!? Does anyone hold these people accountable for the negative and generally knowingly wrong reporting???

Who's gonna hold them accountable?

Not if Rivers gets cleared, but he'd undoubtedly be in our rotation.

Yep, everything they post about MSU...even "positive" stuff has a hint of suckage.
Ban SDS from ever being linked here, please.

Rivers was likely starting. Losing him is big.
