It has been a while since I've seen such a mean streak in the MSU defense. Those two guys bring it and it is awesome to watch them play. Montez and Simmons are brutal up front. I hope we are able to keep Montez one more year but he is an NFL talent right now. And Abram's reminds me of Ashley Cooper. He is everywhere and he isn't afraid to hit you.

I know Grantham brought some intensity to our football team. But those two guys carry it on the field.

Errol Thompson looks the part too by the way. He and Willie Gay Jr are going to be a force. We got some damn good young talent out there.

i thought Abrams was going to kill someone, including his own teammates.

We have several guys with bad intentions on the field. And they keep it between the lines and the whistles.

I would say Sweat will enter the draft - as he should. Yet another good player from Mississippi State in the league. There is no better recruiting tool than that.

Think about this

The defense just got Thomas back. We are starting to see Dantzler take a bigger role in the secondary. And we still haven't see Rivers or Cole in a Bulldog uniform.

Just watching this style of defense, it looks like it would be fun as hell to play in. Yeah, we will give up some big plays because of the aggressive mindset. But we attack and it is intimidating when we are clicking. At one point, they had run somewhere around 40 plays for 60 yards.

How many non offensive touchdowns have we scored? We have to be close to leading the country in that statistic.

I can buy this

If he enters the draft as a junior, then I wish him the best. I selfishly would like to see him in Starkville next year because he and Simmons are as good a combo as there is.

But you're right...players leaving early for the NFL is a sure sign of a healthy program. Either way, it's been awesome to watch him play. He is only getting better with reps in the defense too.

Sweat said on Twitter a few weeks ago that our Dline will be really tough next year with adding Rivers, indicating he will be back. Maybe that changes, but if we can keep him and add Rivers, our D-Line will be among the best in the nation. It'll be wry exciting to see.

Is sweat a little bit light weight wise for his position? He seems incredibly strong for his build


I think he needs another year in the weight room. If they will all come back, they should help one another get more notoriety from playing well, and hopefully higher draft status .

if we could get a couple shut down man corners like smoot and slay, this Grantham defense would be perfect.
