Sigh.

Y'all think Sam Williams is a Will Anderson?

We've come a long way since Bama.

Auburn or A&M ain't got a Sam Williams?

I understand being concerned but some of y'all are making him out to be some kind of unstoppable Boogey Man.

Subtract OM's OOC sacks and get back to me!

They played 4 cupcakes!

That fact so many here are trying to make excuses for this not being a concern, makes me think it's going to be a big concern

Uhhhh...He's no Chris Jones my friend. The impact from defensive end to DT is totally different. Always, he'll be another DE on the schedule imo. The team will adjust if needed and continue scoring.

Sam Williams has 4.5 sacks in conference play. He's not Will Anderson. Other than Alabama we haven't been sacked more than three times in a game, and we've only been sacked more than the opponent's team average twice, while dropping back more times than anyone else by a long shot. It would be nice if Leach does have a plan if Williams does start going off on Lashley, but overall I don't see the reason for a preemptive freakout.

Good stuff. There were many on here who said our ol would be wrecked by, auburn, arky, uk, am, lsu, nc state etc. hasn't happened yet and I don't believe om has the dl those teams have. Sure anything could happen Thursday night but outside of Will Anderson no ones done it yet.

I haven't saw anyone freaking out here. 4.5 in conf games only is tied for 3rd. That's pretty good

Call the point of this thread whatever you want. Statistically, it's an overreaction.

And he didn't have any sacks vs Vandy. Which makes zero sense. He had like 9 tackles for loss but no sacks.

9 TFL is still pretty good..

He's a good player. May not be Will Anderson, but him coming off the right side against Lashley is a concern. Doesn't mean anyone is freaking out about it. But we'll have to hope Lashley plays a good game and Will gets rid of the ball quick.

Trap worded that wrong or something... Williams didn't have 9 TFL against vandy. I would be worried if that were the case haha

To be fair Will Anderson has destroyed almost every offense he's faced. It's a reason he's getting Heisman talk.

If we're being honest, outside of the Bama game Lashley blocking hasnt been bad. He's been penalty prone sometimes but just from a blocking standpoint he hasn't been a turn style but once & that was against a Top 3 pick in the 2023 draft.

Shit!

I think it was just 9 tackles. I thought they were TFL. My bad.

Yeah I thought he did a great job on 29 from Auburn who is a heckuva speed rusher. He's definitely improved as the season has progressed and Cole Smith replacing dolla bill has helped trememdously too.

Yeah. I read the stats wrong. I went back to ESPN.com and re-read them. But, it says 3 total tackles. I don't know if he played most of the game but looks kind of weak against Vandy.

He got dinged up in the second half and missed some time.

I think you and many others are missing the point of the thread. There is no reason Chris should have continued to single handedly shut down an offense. Kellen did not adjust at all. Same thing that we did against Bama. The thread is about what you would do if it became a problem. What adjustment you make. This is not a freak out.

I agree. His biggest issue to me is false starts. He may hold a MSU record for that.

I have no idea about all the starting RT in Sec but he has to be close to last as one of the worse.
He also has many holding calls. Isn't this his 6th, 4 at Bama, sat out last year and this year?

I haven't read all this thread but since some are freaked out about number 7, I'll add 44, he leads OM in tackles and he has sacks and loss of yardage plays too. He's probably OM best all around defensive player.

I hear the staff may petition the NCAA for another year with Lashley.

2 sacks, multiple pressures.

Guess this was a concern

Big time, he was exposed how slow he is, I have a friend who thinks he will be drafted, pretty sure he doesn't think like that today. Finally, we put another RT in the game, makes me think we may have seen the last of him.

Some of our better posters were way off on this. It was obvious it would be a problem and we didn't address it at all.

Our lack of speed is obvious as well.

Nope.
This is just a smart ass comment answering the thread?s original question.

Of course, Cross struggled against Sam Williams, too. Weather and wide splits definitely helped 7. Plus, his kids were there rooting him on. 😂
