The 2021 MSU Defense is really shaping up..

[57stratdawg]

You gotta feel good about the core group of Pickering, Crumedy, Jordan Davis, Brule, Wheat, Emerson, Forbes, Peters. Then you add in guys like Green, Charleton, De’Monte Russell. You feel like you’re filling in depth with experienced guys like Craft, Preston, Allen Love & Jack Harris.

Most importantly, it seems like we’re going to survive the Zach Annette sweepstakes.

That’s a unit that can really win some games for you.

Who do we have in the middle?

 

[Russ Wheeler]

Need to go ahead and figure out who our DC short list is for next season. 2022 and 2023 are going to be big years, hopefully Arnett will see that and stay, but I doubt it.

Crumedy and Young? Are you talking linebacker?

 

[Dawg1976]

You never know....

 

[kired]

Isn’t Nathan Watson supposed to replace Thompson?

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Watson unless he gets beat out by someone else. He played great in the bowl game. We will be fine there barring injury of course. Not sure how much quality depth is behind him. Jett Johnson ?

 

[Upyurs]

Jett Johnson will never start at MSU. From some that played against him that guy was soft as butter in HS. If he does our Def will be trash.

Also not good at chemistry

Very underrated post.

 

[GloryDawg]

I thought Crumedy was leaving. Glad I was wrong.

We got a big hole at MLB....

We got a big hole at MLB....

DeShawn Page 6-2 225 juco transfer.

 

[tenureplan]

Maybe we can get a decent tfer. It is a big position in a 3-3-5

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Johnson is bad. It’s gonna have to be Page from JUCO. Super thin in the middle. Boogie is going to be a good one, but 1 ILB isn’t gonna make it.

Rodney Groce was in the rotation as a true freshman in the LSU game before he got hurt. He should be able to help.

But this is definitely where losing Strong the day before signing day sucks.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Watson plays the position fine and there are a few other options. Its not a big hole or major concern. This defense is looking really good for next year

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Groce plays will though, not ILB.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Well let's not forget they went and got Page for insurance. I would bet he will be the back up to Watson if he doesn't win the job outright. Plus we are also getting Dean and Purvis back in the secondary. And Demonte is gonna be back too
