I agree, something is off. I have no clue what it is, but I also saw where Arnette pretty much said Tulu was suspended for the 1st half.

The only person who isn’t playing scared is Marks and he is getting demolished.

It's so strange. If there's one thing I expected an Arnett team to do, it was play with fire and energy.....but it just hasn't been there. I never expected Arnett to be a home run, but the lack of high energy, physical toughness has honestly been surprising to me. And frankly extremely disappointing

Bookie and Jett are playing hard. Some of the young guys are too but they are not quite ready. Pick is playing pretty hard just so thin they are wearing out early. Until late in the first half, the defense was playing pretty well. Then they adjusted and we went to pot completely.

I think the RB's are all playing pretty hard. Roberson played hard today I thought. Creed was playing hard and was his best blocking day as well.

Agree 100% I said it last week but just look at the body language of the players on the sidelines. No one looks happy, very little cheering, everyone looks like they want to be somewhere else. Say what you want about JoMo but his teams were fired up on the sidelines. We definitely look nothing like an SEC team right now

Yeah, they just started throwing the ball and we cannot stop anyone. Starkville High would have good passing stats against us right now. And I am serious when I say that.

Agree. It's the opposite of what we thought we'd see. This is much more like JoMo or Croom. The team gets pushed around and doesn't play with intensity.

This isn't State football.

I heard someone that played a very long time (can’t remember who) say that no one knows what type of team chemistry they have until you get well into the season. The idea that you can know before then is hogwash according to him. Once adversity hits when games really matters is when you really know. Something is 100 % off.

I think Zach lacks so much confidence in himself as a head coach there is no way in hell anything positive is going to rub off on the team.

Also he is probably too hands off. I know wants to be like Leach in that way. But Leach had control of the offense. And if the defense was off you know that Leach would speak up about it if needed.

Some on here tried to tell everyone this was a possibility the minute we hired Will Friend and Bumphis was being forced down everyones throat. The good ole boys had a chance to hire a staff full of Mississippi Blue Collar Boys and they did not care about the results. There is a reason Auburn fans rejoiced they got rid of Friend. I will give it to Bumphis that he has made the most of his opportunity.

Never thought of a Leach team as full of piss and vinegar, it was more about scheme, responsibility and execution. Unfortunately, this Arnett team has none of those attributes. Maybe it's just transition year confusion, don't know. Since this is a senior heavy team you wouldn't think that chemistry would be an issue but it is. They need to start playing like a SEC team and not the practice squad.

These are guys that were conditioned by Larry Templeton for over a decade to believe that we were just Poor Ole Mississippi State and we were just lucky to be in the SEC. Byrne and Stricklin almost had us out of that mindset and then Cohen came in and convinced them that we could not compete with the big boys so we needed to focus on baseball and forget the other two. That is where we currently find ourselves. Trying to dig out of that hole with half of them still believing that crap that Cohen fed them.

To OP, there is something wrong with the emotional state of our team. We show no heart, no emotion, no give a crap. I think part of it is the Leach hangover - his death, his O, his players, etc. A fresh start would have been the best thing we could have done. TV showed Rogers, Marks and others at end of game and they looked like the walking dead after a win (although not a great win).

With exception of a few players that is what I have witnessed at the Dawg walk all year too. No swagger, no juice just walking zombies. Body language is bad.

This ain't the same MSU we are used to seeing.

We must have a fresh start to get rolling again I'm afraid.

Lol. You'd drink Leach and Rogers bath water.

He definitely didn't win bc of scheme, bc his offensive scheme was garbage while here.

Surprisingly, the guy whose defense carried us, has let the defense go to absolute crap under his boy Brock. If the defense was half as good as they have been in the last several years, all we'd be talking about is how much the O has improved since week 1 & 2. But the D hasn't improved a lick, and the offense still isn't anywhere close to where it should be...although it has definitely improved from the shit show it was week 1-3.

I don't understand the constant comparisons to Leavh though. And acting like Arnett isnt half the coach Leach was. First of all, nobody is saying he is. He stinks. But acting like Leach was Saban only loses you credibility, and it's not like we fired Leach. It's honestly just weird how you always feel the need to tie everything back to Leach. I guess it's so Rogers will have an excuse, which makes sense now. Anyway, carry on.

I don't think there is any way of fixing this slow Defense. Somehow we went from a "slower" D that was effective....to the slowest D I've ever seen and totally ineffective. It's going to take a talent overhaul at this point I'm afraid. We recruit too much length and not enough speed. Gotta have some of both. Especially in the secondary. Not every lanky DB will magically be Emerson or Forbes.

Arnett wasn't ready to do this and that's understandable. The Leach staff didn't bring in talent either. Low talent and insufficient leadership from the staff is a killer. Some players aren't real happy either. I'm afraid a loss in two weeks starts a snowball effect.

three 4 star QBs. over six 4 star WRs. Trained one into a 4 star that's doing pretty damn good at UGA. The truth is that the HC made a bad choice. I have no doubt that he would have that Defense looking a little better. But we have an unorganized messed from top to bottom and it shows on the field.

They also really increased their tempo

Tempo kills us about 3 out of 10 plays.

To many second and 6 thru 11 that turn into third and 1 to 2 because we are not ready for second down snap. Then if we happen to pull off the second down play not ready for third down and either first down or close enough to go for it. Then that killed our energy in the fourth qt. JMO

Well I bring it back to Leach because you and some others wanted him gone at every turn and were never in the boat.

He was not perfect and we absolutely needed to change the offense some. But to say we are better now is a flat lie. You boys got what you wanted with your good ol boys trying to out tough everyone.

The fact that you dont realize Leach and his teams were as tough as it gets tells me all I need to know. Tell me, what program has went thru as much as ours has since 2019 and then let?s look at our record. Then look at the head coach that won those games. Regardless of all his faults, or epidemics, or suspensions, or transfers, or sections of his fan base that hated him because they think they know better. Then on top of that, you had player deaths and finally our head coaches death.

Thats why it goes back to Leach. He was not perfect but he was a damn bit better than what yall said and some are eating it now. Yall wanted no Leach and to be tough. Now we are no Leach and soft

Like I've said a zillion times, you Leach/Rogers worshippers can't help but to act like those of us that didn't like Leach's offense wanted him fired and Arnett as head coach. It's laughable.

Since you can't comprehend things through your Leach colored glasses....

1. I didn't like Leach's offensive production. Rightfully so, our offense sucked under Leach. Arnett's D carried Leach at MSU, and everyone knows it including you.

2. Just bc I didn't like our offensive STATS and EFFICIENCY under Leach, did not mean I wanted the guy dead. I didn't even want the guy fired necessarily, I just wanted him to put a QB in there that gave us some wheels and arm strength. So you could argue I wanted Rogers removed way more than Leach. And still do. Great kid, lacking QB.

3. I did not want Arnett as HC. I cannot be more clear on that. Leach and Arnett are separate issues, so comparing the two is stupid, and shows your willful ignorance. Nobody that disliked Leach's O was begging for Arnett and Barbay....none.

4. Why as State fans do people like you consider it a win, when other State fans feel we deserve more, and in an attempt to improve we fail? Weird flex. We should ALL want the best version of MSU football....not just what is best for one QB that we have some weird obsession over.
I didn't like Leach's offense for 1 reason and 1 reason only.....it was holding us back from reaching our potential in his first few seasons. When we all expected his offense to carry us and defense to suck...it was the other way around. We were winning 8 and 9 games DESPITE our offense being severely lacking a majority of the time. It showed flashes against bad teams, but there was no doubt that the defense was carrying us. Which left me frustrated bc the D was playing at a level that had us able to compete with the best, but the offense (which we were told was unstoppable) wasnt carrying its weight. If it had, who knows what heights we reach under Leach.

So in a nutshell, I choose my stances on the eye test, and the stat test. Not bc I have a love affair with a college QB like you do. And my eyes told me Leach's offense wasn't outperforming his defense, and Rogers was a big reason why. They also show me that the current coaches are way worse. Both can be true. The current staff can suck AND we can do better than what we were getting from Leach's O. Doesn't have to be one or the other. Just bc we have a 1 out of 10 now, doesn't mean we don't deserve better than a 5 out of 10. We should strive for a 10 out of 10.

I'm sure you'll respond with "your expectations are too high for our program then". Maybe so. But nothing great ever came from settling for less. We can achieve a far better offense than Leach OR Arnett are giving us. We don't have to settle for one just bc we're scared we may drop down in pursuit of something better. That's chicken shit.

Connected friend of mine told me last year that after Leach left, we were facing a 3 year rebuild. Problem is this "HC & staff" couldn't rebuid a screen door on a submarine, even if they could locate the problem!****

Yeah if you go in a totally different direction. That's going to happen with any major change. Which is why it was stupid to make this drastic change.

We absolutely deserve more. And we hated what we had. Some folks wanted this and yall got it thru a tragedy. Congratulations. Our defense definitely out played our offense at times, but why do you think that is? we have mostly the same players and same scheme but no Leach. Because Leach upheld the culture and they loved him. You dont get it and thats ok. You are about to get exactly what you want. No Will and No Leach.

On this we most definitely can agree!

But it still goes back to Keenum. Dragging his feet on AD hire. Amazing that they couldn?t find a G5 AD to replace Cohen. They could have hired a Juco AD to replace Cohen, less prepared for the job than Arnett and that is saying something.

Lol. You'd drink Leach and Rogers bath water.

He definitely didn't win bc of scheme, bc his offensive scheme was garbage while here.

Surprisingly, the guy whose defense carried us, has let the defense go to absolute crap under his boy Brock. If the defense was half as good as they have been in the last several years, all we'd be talking about is how much the O has improved since week 1 & 2. But the D hasn't improved a lick, and the offense still isn't anywhere close to where it should be...although it has definitely improved from the shit show it was week 1-3.

I don't understand the constant comparisons to Leavh though. And acting like Arnett isnt half the coach Leach was. First of all, nobody is saying he is. He stinks. But acting like Leach was Saban only loses you credibility, and it's not like we fired Leach. It's honestly just weird how you always feel the need to tie everything back to Leach. I guess it's so Rogers will have an excuse, which makes sense now. Anyway, carry on.

I don't think there is any way of fixing this slow Defense. Somehow we went from a "slower" D that was effective....to the slowest D I've ever seen and totally ineffective. It's going to take a talent overhaul at this point I'm afraid. We recruit too much length and not enough speed. Gotta have some of both. Especially in the secondary. Not every lanky DB will magically be Emerson or Forbes.

Rogers sucked under Leach too, which is why it’s all so ridiculous. We heard for 3 years how bad the receivers sucked. Now it’s a new excuse. It’s been someone else’s fault except the 1 guy who has been here for 4 years the entire time. The one constant isn’t the problem. It’s everyone else. Will Rogers not going to Auburn and forcing us to go get a competent quarterback was the biggest **** up of the entire offseason, outside of not getting an edge rusher and 2nd corner in the portal.

I disagree with one point of yours, they still think the WR's suck and run wrong routes. Just now is because of a bad offense and Barbay before it was just the WR's fault. Leach, Spurrier were great 3 years in but just the WR's suck. 6 games in Barbay and Bump suck and it's why our WR's suck. Hypocritical stance.

Great post Cadaver, rep given. We got too many fans that are fans of a coach, one player or something else and not MSU fans.

He sucked so bad he won more ranked games and had more comeback wins than any QB we have had. Ever. Im not even going into records. Idk what he did to you or your family but I?m sorry. You are going to get what you want. It?s funny to say our WRs weren?t the issue in 21 and 22 when the head coach and coaching staff made it a point to cal them out consistently. This is a joke at this point, and I personally am glad it?s over. We are about to see who really sucked. I will bleed Maroon till I die, but some of our people are about to learn

He had comeback wins against teams we had no business having to come back from. Tell me more about how awesome his comeback over ****ing Louisiana Tech and 6-7 Auburn were. No, Mike Wright isn’t worth a shit either and no one has ever thought he was. The problem we have all had is that this coaching staff and the last have not recruited a better quarterback than your nephew / cousin. It’s unacceptable to have someone as bad as Will Rogers as your best quarterback. Will is going to transfer to Armadillo tech next year and thrive. I hope all of you follow his ass there.

None of that matters. None. You got your wish, and Wright will be the starter.

At least 2 of his completions were shovel passes. One was a dump off to Tulu on an RPO where he was running and threw it at the last minute. Another was a quick out that was thrown low and away that was caught, but the receiver had no chance to gain any yards after the catch because of the ball placement. The throw to Walley didn't have any touch on it. If he puts air under it, Walley's vision isn't obscured by the DB coming across.

Will said he and Barbay were finishing each other’s sentences. Didn’t seem to be a problem until he had to face someone besides our shitty defense. I forgot your boy can do no wrong though. The OL isn’t having a problem blocking any more than most other OL’s. Will not being able to check into a smoke route when the defense is bringing 6 isn’t on the Ol. Will getting tipped passes for INT returns for touchdowns on a screen pass isn’t the Ols fault. Will throwing the ball 2 yards behind the receiver in a 2 minute drill and causing us to give up 7 points before the half isn’t on the OL. Your buddy sucks. You can keep sticking your head in the sand but people have eyeballs. They can see what’s going on at the qb position. You can take your BS to someone else.

Lol. You'd drink Leach and Rogers bath water.

He definitely didn't win bc of scheme, bc his offensive scheme was garbage while here.

Surprisingly, the guy whose defense carried us, has let the defense go to absolute crap under his boy Brock. If the defense was half as good as they have been in the last several years, all we'd be talking about is how much the O has improved since week 1 & 2. But the D hasn't improved a lick, and the offense still isn't anywhere close to where it should be...although it has definitely improved from the shit show it was week 1-3.

I don't understand the constant comparisons to Leavh though. And acting like Arnett isnt half the coach Leach was. First of all, nobody is saying he is. He stinks. But acting like Leach was Saban only loses you credibility, and it's not like we fired Leach. It's honestly just weird how you always feel the need to tie everything back to Leach. I guess it's so Rogers will have an excuse, which makes sense now. Anyway, carry on.

I don't think there is any way of fixing this slow Defense. Somehow we went from a "slower" D that was effective....to the slowest D I've ever seen and totally ineffective. It's going to take a talent overhaul at this point I'm afraid. We recruit too much length and not enough speed. Gotta have some of both. Especially in the secondary. Not every lanky DB will magically be Emerson or Forbes.

Saban was a 7-5 coach in his 5 years at Mich State.
That's comparable to what leach did at Texas Tech and wash st and here.
Just saying. But yes, Saban is better than Leach.

Will has to have a completely clean pocket, wide open receivers, clear passing lanes, and the temp must be between 68 and 81 degrees with less than 7 mph winds in order for him to be successful. It's unfair and unrealistic to place blame on him if any of these conditions aren't met.

This offense requires an ol to be able to block longer due to PA. And they are not doing that. It been posted on here several times.

It's just really weird to me that this is where we are with Will Rogers. He's not great, but he's also not awful. He's had both some great moments and some awful moments though. Similar to Fitz in that regard, Will is just the passing version.

I just don't understand why he's so divisive. I mean, I do. It's because people like to put 99% of blame on the QB when the offenses struggles and then people defend him in response, but it's all too extreme.

He was a fine system QB for the Air Raid and has done some good things. His lack of mobility, which isn't his "fault", extremely limits the offense. It is what it is.

A QB that doesn't have concrete legs could negate some of that by extending plays with his legs.

The OL sucks but so does Will. Y'all can make all the excuses for him under the sun, but eventually you have to come to grips with this. Or keep your head buried in the sand. Doesn't matter to me.

Outside of the LSU game, the OL has been plenty good enough for anyone to throw the football that doesn’t have absolute concrete feet. That awful pass that Wright threw on Saturday would have 100 % been a sack if your brother was playing quarterback. It’s been a sack for 3 years because he has zero feel for the pocket and any time someone gets in the same damn zip code as him he falls down or runs backwards. Rogers took 4 sacks and threw 3 picks against Alabama. Exactly 1 of those plays was on the Ol. He is the problem no matter how much you want to blame someone else. Most offensive lines don’t have to protect a complete statue in 2023.

No it doesn't. The most sacked qbs in the SEC are mobile qbs. And the fact is Rogers was asked to run on a 3 and 11 vs Bama. He did not shy away from contact and got the first down. He did that twice.

But that's not your narrative that you want to push.

Mike Wright will not get anywhere near the hatred that Will gets even though he will absolutely suck in Will's absence. Of course, Mike runs the ball, and that's acceptable even if he can't throw a lick. We aren't supposed to throw the ball at little ole mittittippi tate anyway.

Let me re word that. In the history of QBs in the 130 teams in the fbs, only 2 of them have produced 1 qb each to do what Rogers has done.

Nothing you say will ever change that

Blacksails and Bucky are actually doing the opposite of what they originally intended to do, and that's sad. Their blaming of anything and everything OTHER than Rogers, is so far delusional that it actually makes some of our fans dislike Will even more than they normally would.

I don't hate Will, and Leach was a legend. I just know without Leach Will is a G5 QB at best. Leach's system never worked well in this league....I knew it wouldn't work well in this league....and I also hated the hire bc I knew once he finally left, it would crush our program for years bc we would be built for a specific system that nobody else ran nor recruited too. And here we are.

This coaching staff stinks...but they were handed a bunch of system guys and they don't run that system. Nobody does. Combine that with Brock's D stinking up the joint, and you no longer have the Defense that bailed Leach and Will out the last few years, so we suck.

It's sad that Bucky and KB and Blacksails are ruining both Leach and Will's legacy here by continuing to make them out to be larger than life and free from criticism. They are hurting them more than helping them.
But it's not worth arguing about anymore...99% of our fan base knows the truth, these guys are just the 1% of repetitive, loud, minority. Leach was a legend, and his offense stunk at MSU. Arnett carried him. But it would have been cool to see Leach at MSU with a good QB, and maybe one with an ability to run some too. Hate we never got to see it. Will set records by throwing it so much. Yay. Unfortunately his attempts and yards and completions didn't lead to better offensive production to complement our stellar D, or else we may have set the records we all wanted....SEC wins for MSU. Oh well, now we start the inevitable Post-Leach rebuild.

And for KB....None of the guys that disliked Leach's offense feel that way bc we want to "run the damn ball" as you say. You see, we all just want MSU to win. We don't care how. We want to maximize our potential every single year. Leach's offense prevented that. Mullen's lack of passing game prevented that. We just want to see MSU put it all together in every phase one year and let the chips fall as they may while we go toe to toe with some of the best teams in the country and actually have a chance to win. See, we don't root for Will Rogers, or Mike Leach, or any other single person that will one day leave the program......we root FOR the program. For the school. For MSU, the maroon and white. Y'all should try it. If you try it, you'll see that there is no joy in seeing the program fail further so you can be proven "right" about "your guy".....no. You'll see that no matter what guy helps make it happen, we just want to see MSU excel and reach the mountain top one day. We may have unrealistic expectations, sure...but one thing we don't have is a willingness to put any one player or coach above MSU like you guys.

I hate that Leach died. And I hate that Will lost him bc he meant a ton to Will's career. But what I really hate, is that we suck this year....bc I didn't watch MSU football for Leach or Will...I watch it in hopes that we will beat everyone's ass and win the SEC West again one year. If Rogers could do that I'd be his biggest fan....he can't. Can Wright? Honestly, no. Can Parson? Who knows, probably not. But I just hope our administration continues to try and find the right coach and QB combination that CAN one day. Dont ever settle, and don't ever make one guy more important than MSU. Keep striving for #1....that's why we play. Hail State.

He has about 7 thousand more attempts than anyone else in SEC history. You being too big of a dumbass to figure that out is on brand for you. No one hates Leach. We hated his offensive production, which wasn’t any better than the current offensive production.

In my opinion, Leach's offense wasn't as much of the problem as it was the QB that would rather dump it to the RB than throw it down the field. Will is a good QB; definitely better than some of the crap I've seen in the past, but he's not the QB yall think he is.

RezDog7
10-09-2023, 10:54 PM
Yep. They are definitely about to learn. We are about to see the guy who threw the worst pass I have ever seen and completely missed a wide open receiver in the process.

If Will were in on that exact play, he would have been sacked. At least Wright was able to move in the pocket and give us a chance.

But again- with Moorhead and Fitz most everyone criticized Moorhead for not running an offense that fit Fitz skill set- which was fair.

But now it's bench Will because he doesn't fit the offense that Barbay runs?

Leach's offense worked about as well as Dan's did most years. In 2011 which was year three for Dan we averaged 25.3 PPG on the season and 18.1 in SEC play.

In 2022 under Leach in year three we averaged 31.6 on the season and 25.4 in SEC play.

And in 2021 we finished fifth in SEC games only in PPG at 28.5

In fact what we did under Leach last year was better than Dan in every season except for 2014 and 2015 when we had Dak and 2017 when we averaged 32.0 PPG compared to our 31.6 last year so that was essentially the same.

And that was without Leach even getting a chance to have a full group of his recruits in place. Meaning we would have likely improved.

I mean if Barbay had adapted his offense and everything was running better I would be eating crow right now. But they made the controversial choice to run something else and now it's not working as well as were told it would- which is why it's funny to see people bragging about how "similar" this offense is to last year statistically which when you look at the stats that means it's likely going to trend worse.

And at least Moorhead and Leach made it clear what they were going to run. This group of coaches didn't even respect our fans enough to tell us they were going to run a Spreadahan offense. That or maybe they don't even know what the 17 they're running in which case neither option is good. And that's really one of the biggest sticking points with fans in general. Which lends credence to the rumors that they lied to our players and their parents about what they were going to run. It's hard to build up goodwill when you do stuff like that.

The only thing that can save this season is Arnett taking over the defense. The OC get a clue that you don't run 12 personnel when you don't have the TEs for it. You don't pull 2 4 star WRs off the field to do it. Balance the AR concepts with the rushing attack with fewer PA. That's if Rogers is back there. If not, it will not matter what he does.

Yeah 41% was way off but 30% is too much. Even for Leach who liked to throw to RB. I don't think he had more than 1 seasons like that at WSU. Maybe 2. That's wss our 3 year avg. Last year was better. But he was what, around 20% or less most years at WSU? 30% was a lot.

I'm not single minded. However when we are not giving either side of the ball a chance to win, it's an issue.

Why should we pick and choose which issue that we can talk about and it only be what you perceive to be the biggest issue? Want me to talk about the defense? ask. I'm focusing on the offense because it's our only hope at winning games this season.... but for you:

It a travesty that we have NFL talent on the DL and can not scheme to take advantage of them. It's lazy and shorted sited that our HC has not reasserted himself into the defense. You can not allow a QB that much time. No defensive back can cover forever.

Yeah 41% was way off but 30% is too much. Even for Leach who liked to throw to RB. I don't think he had more than 1 seasons like that at WSU. Maybe 2. That's wss our 3 year avg. Last year was better. But he was what, around 20% or less most years at WSU? 30% was a lot.

Not really. When he had Minshew, that completed 478 passes. Of those, 145 went to the RBs, and that's 30.5%. Did he have less years.. I'm sure.

What scheme do you think would help our DL with only 2 legit guys right now? Crumedy was one of the highest graded DL in the country last weekend. Pickering has played well also most of the year but neither are great pass rush guys, not their game. Don't have bodies to sub like we want to.

The backend is just not good, Albert was having good camp but don't know how much he would have helped being out for the year. Honestly, I think they misevaluated the transfers and the young guys are not ready but at least have more talent. I think it's a talent and bodies issue mostly. Do I think Arnett gets better numbers than Brock? Yeah, I think Brock hasn't gotten the feel of game calling yet. But the defense was going major issues regardless. I said earlier in the year we needed the backend to grow fast, they haven't and the DL is so thin with playable guys, it's a mess.

Like I said he only 1 year like that. Maybe another but that's the one I remember. That's our 3 year avg. not an outlier year. Multiple years of less than 20% at WSU. 30% is too high even for Leach and a big reason why our yards per completion was low.

Blacksails and Bucky are actually doing the opposite of what they originally intended to do, and that's sad. Their blaming of anything and everything OTHER than Rogers, is so far delusional that it actually makes some of our fans dislike Will even more than they normally would.

I don't hate Will, and Leach was a legend. I just know without Leach Will is a G5 QB at best. Leach's system never worked well in this league....I knew it wouldn't work well in this league....and I also hated the hire bc I knew once he finally left, it would crush our program for years bc we would be built for a specific system that nobody else ran nor recruited too. And here we are.

This coaching staff stinks...but they were handed a bunch of system guys and they don't run that system. Nobody does. Combine that with Brock's D stinking up the joint, and you no longer have the Defense that bailed Leach and Will out the last few years, so we suck.

It's sad that Bucky and KB and Blacksails are ruining both Leach and Will's legacy here by continuing to make them out to be larger than life and free from criticism. They are hurting them more than helping them.
But it's not worth arguing about anymore...99% of our fan base knows the truth, these guys are just the 1% of repetitive, loud, minority. Leach was a legend, and his offense stunk at MSU. Arnett carried him. But it would have been cool to see Leach at MSU with a good QB, and maybe one with an ability to run some too. Hate we never got to see it. Will set records by throwing it so much. Yay. Unfortunately his attempts and yards and completions didn't lead to better offensive production to complement our stellar D, or else we may have set the records we all wanted....SEC wins for MSU. Oh well, now we start the inevitable Post-Leach rebuild.

And for KB....None of the guys that disliked Leach's offense feel that way bc we want to "run the damn ball" as you say. You see, we all just want MSU to win. We don't care how. We want to maximize our potential every single year. Leach's offense prevented that. Mullen's lack of passing game prevented that. We just want to see MSU put it all together in every phase one year and let the chips fall as they may while we go toe to toe with some of the best teams in the country and actually have a chance to win. See, we don't root for Will Rogers, or Mike Leach, or any other single person that will one day leave the program......we root FOR the program. For the school. For MSU, the maroon and white. Y'all should try it. If you try it, you'll see that there is no joy in seeing the program fail further so you can be proven "right" about "your guy".....no. You'll see that no matter what guy helps make it happen, we just want to see MSU excel and reach the mountain top one day. We may have unrealistic expectations, sure...but one thing we don't have is a willingness to put any one player or coach above MSU like you guys.

I hate that Leach died. And I hate that Will lost him bc he meant a ton to Will's career. But what I really hate, is that we suck this year....bc I didn't watch MSU football for Leach or Will...I watch it in hopes that we will beat everyone's ass and win the SEC West again one year. If Rogers could do that I'd be his biggest fan....he can't. Can Wright? Honestly, no. Can Parson? Who knows, probably not. But I just hope our administration continues to try and find the right coach and QB combination that CAN one day. Dont ever settle, and don't ever make one guy more important than MSU. Keep striving for #1....that's why we play. Hail State.

I have never said he was above criticism so I didnt read anything after that.

Yall dont criticize him yall BLAME him one guy has trashed his entire family

For one, start blitzing from different areas of the field. We are playing a "safe" defense. Not an aggressive one. Nor anything close to it. Make a choice. Either go get the QB or let him pick you apart.

I don't disagree necessarily, that doesn't have anything to with scheming for the DL, but I don't have a problem of mixing up blitzes. We are actually sacking teams well enough to be Top half of the league but we don't pressure the QB nearly well enough. So I'm not sure we can sack teams to be better defensively. We are holding teams to 3.88 yards per rush in the league, 4th in the league and that's against the highest attempts per game against us. Teams know we are thin up front and wear us down. I think we have to keep mixing in guys who are not ready to give our better players more energy deeper into games as well. Let them forget about gap control at times and flood up the field in front of the QB to just make the pocket dirty. Hope and pray our secondary finds some extra talent / skill the next 2 weeks.

It helps the defense. When Crumedy is drawing a double team, spots begin to open up. Send blitz packages from different points and include some CB and safety blitzes. I think (could be way wrong) I have only seen 1 CB blitz all season.

Nicholson runs a 4.46
DeCam ran a 10.75 in the 100. He ran a 4.33. His worst number is 4.40. And has NFL Talent
Rogers... Expected right now as 4th round in the draft. runs a 4.4.

We have enough talent that this should not be happening. Help the back side by getting to the QB by any means! Send DeCam!


Edit to add Banks who ran a 4.36

Oh, they are fast, bad coverage skills and bad angles but they do do it quickly. That's the talent / skills they lack. Again, I'm fine sending different blitzes, but I want to see more pressure in the face of the QB. We are getting home ok, we are very bad at creating pocket chaos and rushing throws.

Can't send corner and safety blitzes when the back end is so bad and LBs so slow.
