    Another thing I'll add about attitudes is that you really see what your team is made of when they are struggling. Most people are on the same page when you're excited about the season starting and as long as you're winning, but when you lose a few games that's when you start to see a divide sometimes. The pouting starts and certain guys are mad that they aren't getting more opportunities on a team that's having a tough time.

    That's one area where I will give Mullen a lot of credit, our players under his tenure always seemed to be pretty steady no matter how things were going. Obviously the culture of the program took a dip under Moorhead, and Leach is still trying to fix that it would seem.

    He may have been trying to stay Covid-isolated, and he has a nice place down there. Plus, there wasn't much he could have done in Starkville.

    Anybody know if Leach has bought a house in the Starkville area?

    I hate it for KJ as putting the pieces together he knows his body is failing him and that messes with your head. I know the defense was different but the body language and throws have indeed just looked different the past two weeks.

    Much like Tommy we've been unlucky to have two talented QB's look good game 1 and then succumb to injuries by the 2nd-3rd game and not able to effectively play through them.

    Wouldnt shock me if he is shut down sooner than later..
    If he is injured, and it certainly looks like he is, it's not in his or the team's best interest to keep playing him. He could suffer further injury. Maybe sitting out a couple of games will give him time to get better. Hope so.

You can fail to defeat the 3-8 because of execution and still have malcontents. You can have malcontents and your scheme have a problem with the 3-8.

    The primary message from Leach is they have to coach better and execute better. Also there are malcontents so we need to make sure we are playing the right guys. All those things can be true without it being confusing, spin or BS.
    You can have malcontents at any point - you could be 7-0 and ranked #1, and have a player be so self centered that they tank the rest of the season because the coach wouldn't put them in late in to get 2 extra yards so they could say they ran for 200 once.

    Yeah, but that's a not likely, highly hypothetical situation. **

    What the hell was he going to do? No head coach is involved in voluntary workouts and summer workouts. That's what the S&C team is for. They did their jobs. Hell, Mullen took the damn summer off other than camps.

    Yes, true.

    I recall Josh Robinson go Malcontent in 2014. This “malcontent” shenanigans belongs in video games, new wrinkle.

    Jay Cutler, QB Chicago was basically always Malcontent, especially against the Packers

    FIFA 2020 should make all Manchester United players randomly perform every game. Between attitude and marijuana- Pogba should be speed 50 to speed 96.

Is this just an issue with it taking their bodies longer to adjust and causing higher rate of injury. These guys are athletes and have at least taken some hits in their past so I used to think they would adjust fairly easily. I don't really think so any more.

    Dak and Fitz grew up being hit like running backs and it they took a ton of hits in college without too much injury from contact (dirty ankle twist does not count).
    I would be willing to bet that KJ doesn't get hit in practice
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    I believe the another said they looked at 12? Before they finally bought one. The only thing that crossed my mind is I didn't realize we had that many multi-million dollar homes in the area.

    I remember that crap. @ Kentucky 2014. I lost a lot of respect for JRob that day.

    Do we know if anyone has actually been "purged" from the team? If not, do we know if we have had really good buy in this week during practice?
