Anybody want some football wool?
My brother lives and works in a major metropolitan area over a thousand miles from Starkville. One you wouldn?t regularly see State fans there. Well, he sees a big guy decked out in MSU gear and didn?t recognize him but said he looked like a coach. Turns out to be defensive quality control staffer John Haneline but he didn?t know that when he was talking to him. No idea if he?s still on staff. Anyway, my brother strikes up a convo and guy says he coached on the DL last year and asked what he thought of last years DL. He goes on to say if you thought last years was good, you haven?t seen anything. He said outside of Simmons, Chauncey Rivers is our best DL. Said Sweat is a freak athlete but Rivers is a beast athlete but has better technique, fundamentals, and upside. Said you?ll be awed next year.
If this is remotely true and we have a DL where Sweat is our 3rd best DL, we?ll have a national championship caliber DL. Best we?ve ever had. Add in LB and the way Thompson and Gay wrecked down the stretch, we?ll have the most talented and physical front 7 in our history. Get ready boys.
