Shotgun, I like you, but you are doing a whole lot of assuming.
Lovett isn't a problem kid he just didn't want to be at MSU. That's cool doesn't make him a bad kid. He's a future NFL talent & we would be a better team on the field with him. Same with Jarrian.Quote:

Keep it coming, Homedawg. Most here very much appreciate your info and the dose of reality that comes with it.Quote:

I think this is what happens to a degree. So right about last year and how crippled our O was. The D carried the 18 team and the big drop off last year left us trouble with no O. I think D will be better than last year but still with issues.Quote:

We are green at LB'er and our best one struggles in pass coverage
Jucos need adjustment time
We dont have a dominant DL player for the 2nd year in a row and we lost arguably our best one to transfer.
Almost no depth
A good DC cant mask all that. They will play hard and thats all we can ask.
The defense is not going to be as bad as ya'll think it's going to be. We have some athletes and a scheme that's going to use that athleticism. Most of ya'll are too young to remember what Joe Lee Dunn did with the blitz. Bookmark this post and make me eat my words. HAIL STATE!
On the flip side, it seems the wide receivers have made a really big jump. Spurrier and Nichol know what they are doing... Leach wouldn’t have kept them this long if not.
Defense is going to struggle but I’m hoping with Vandy, Ark, Miss, and Ole Miss we can snag 4 or 5 wins. I’m looking at this season as a glorified pre-season for next year. It basically doesn’t count it’s just going to be great watching some SEC football, grilling, and drinking a little something.
Agree on Lovett. Disagree on Jones.Quote:

I understand that. I respect your info and posts Homedawg but you don't have to be such an asshole about it.Quote:

If Arnett knows what he is doing then I think we have enough talent to be a middling SEC defense.Quote:

Our WR's are going to be a surprise to the fanbase IMO.Quote:

We don't have any pass rushers on the dl which means we will have to blitz which will leave our inexperienced and thin secondary on an island which willQuote:

Would you agree that if people are unhappy where they are, that unhappiness will be manifested, usually in a negative manner?Quote:

IYHO?
Just to be clear, you?re saying Lovett is better than Pickering and Crumedy both?.....Quote:

I think could I don't think it's a foregone conclusion it would have. I think once they got on the field they would've produced.Quote:
