Wow! This is not crippling but it's never good to lose a guy like him. I thought he had the ability to be special.

Everyone is right he seemed to not play as well this year like he showed he could do in 2020. I was expecting a better year but he still made a lot of plays.

I already see 2 LB's committed at the LB spot and maybe one more on they way. Early signing period is just a few days away from Dec 15-17, I worry more about our rankings than I should be but I also know you can't win without players.

Good luck to him. I am sure there are things we don't know.

That's bad coaching if true

How in the world do you know that? Do you have inside information I don't have?

Personally, I doubt it because you don't even know if it's true or not. If you had inside information you would at least know whether it was true when the portal is public.

I guess it could be a problem without our coaches but somehow I doubt it. The system we play in today is that it allows players to transfer easily and sometimes it's for reasons that have nothing to do with football.

There are some things that we just don't know and may never know and this may not have anything to even do with on the field stuff.

I believe he can be good and that we will miss him but if getting benched for Jett Johnson is what he is talking about about then it is what it is. People get benched, it's what happens at times. He may have had the higher ceiling but if you aren't playing to it on a consistent down to down basis you run the risk of getting benched. Jett was outplaying him much of the year and earned his playing time, that part is not debatable.

Some of you just hate to hate. No, he isn’t the fastest guy on the team but I’ll tell you what he is, the best tackler on our team.

That being said Brule could have still helped this team.

This and we were one of the most efficient run defenses in the country. Hate losing Brule but teams are gonna be losing players every year and not just the bench riders it's the new era.

They averaged 3.8 that's damn near a 1st down every 2 carries. They also had 3 rushing td's vs 1 passing. The interception had no impact on the outcome on the game, it was over. They gashed us running the entire 2nd half.

If you ain't running for 4+ yards a carry, you aren't gashing a damn thing. Shut down their RBs. You acting like they had a bunch of long TD runs. I ain't like that. Brule was a good guy to plug in here and there. Wish he had stayed. But he's not as good as the guys ahead of him.

Hate to see him go. It could also be as simple as the fact he is graduating with a degree in psychology and might want to take advantage of using football to get a graduate degree at a school with a more relevant program for his future.

Great for him if this is the case. That is what college sports should be about. Play a sport and experience college for free. Get a degree in case Pros don?t work out. Get your degree utilize last year to get a free advanced degree. Bravo sir, well done if this is the case.

I think Brule was playing out of position and should be a MLB. I think he would be a beast there. The problem is we had three LB's that also profile as MLB. I wonder if "forced his hand" means that we were considering sliding him to MLB and having him continue to split reps with Jett and Watson while we start seeing more of Ty Cooper and John Lewis and maybe even some of the incoming recruits if they are ready play more on the EDGE where they profile better for this defense?

I could also see MSU going after an EDGE/OLB type in the portal that fits our scheme better.

Maybe Brule ends up at Tulane? Who knows?

Anyway I think our biggest problem on defense really the past two years was the players didn't really fit a 3-3-5 scheme very well. It was like we were playing three DT's, three MLB's, and 3 box safeties and 2 elite corners. We had no pass rush and our safeties were abused all year.

Ole miss did what they wanted to offensively. They had the ball 6 times the 2nd half and scored on 3 of them it could have been 4 but they decided not to. If it wasn't for Corral playing around with the int they would have scored 5 out of 6 drives the 2nd half. So yeah the 2nd half they gashed us and made us quit. They physically kicked us in the teeth.

Jett was the leading tackler for the whole team by 11 tackles. he finished with 88 total. Brule finished 4th with 53 total tackles. if we are going to really compare outside of total tackles.

Jett had:

1 pass deflection
1 INT
1 FF
2 FR

Brule had non one of those. The only thing that Brule had over Jett was Brule had 3 sacks Jett didn't have a sack.

If he goes 6-6 or 7-5 next year and loses the egg, yes we will have a serious convo about leach but rn, i think he has done a good job so far and this is only the beginning of what we have in store with this guy imo

I could be wrong but I saw the egg bowl as a loss unlike some people, im a realist not a sun shine pumper or a doom and gloom guy. I tell it how i see it and ole miss is just a better team. Its that simple. I dont understand why people are so mad.

If we go 10-2 next year and beat georgia but lose to ole miss. I wont be super mad.
