To think grown men do this to innocent folks. Shameful.

I. In The eyes of the media, using a second string DL isn't as bad as using your second string QB

It's still a key player whose absence could have an impact on whether we win or lose. I guarantee you Arkansas won't feel like they didn't get our best shot. Ellis Johnson got us to a bowl game in 2007 in spite of the Croom Coast Offense. #DLPlayersMatter

And don't forget our MLB for a half is out also.

Negative. Other schools get to asterisk a loss to MSU, not the other way around. See traditional top college football consistent powerhouses like TAMU and Ole Miss for references.*

If our defensive coaches are not teaching our DEs to absolutely kill any qb riding a RB on a run option play regardless if he hands it off or not, we are allowing the QB too much control over the play. During the mesh, the qb is not defenseless nor are they a passer, take the direct path and hit them in the ribs because it literally is a free shot. DE always take the QB and let the LB take the RB.

Switch it up every so often so they can?t scheme the blocking.

Yep! Take out the QB on an option read first. Punish him.

This is where I hope we have Russell and Davis in

I mean it makes way too much sense, if you hesitate you lose leverage. Once you see the qb riding the rb, the DE needs to hit and tackle the qb every single time. Coaches will not want to put their qb through 12-15 additional crushing hits per game and they will stop calling read option plays all together.

If you do that then the OT blocks the LB and the RB gashes your D. Teams have gone to a lot of gap exchange whereas the DE closes and takes RB and the LB slides out to take QB. They do other shit too but that’s the best way to play it defensively.

What gives me the most problems are teams that really attack the mesh and force my QB into a quick decision. My current QB almost always makes the wrong read so I quit running it. Now we are on designed runs and keeps with a ton more split zone

I believe today is the day that we find out if KJ is a go. If he doesn't practice, he's out

McBuckethead had a good point perhaps, that in College, a qb taking 15 more hits every time he rides the hand off, in the SEC, is just asking for injury. Does that not give a QB something to think about and hesitate each time he runs it? I don't know, but asking in general.
