How good will Max Bullough be this year?

  • There is no doubt he will be good, but he also benefited from Worthy double teams. Some of the better centers in the league graduated and the middle of the D-line has potential.

    I look at the LB's as a unit, and as a unit they are strong. DRob, prepare for the unit.

    This defense could be ..... this year.

    Do you even bother to look these things up?

    Rush through the UM game: 21 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 PBU, 6 QB hurries.

    Rush after the UM game: 37 tackles, 7.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 4 PBU, 1 FF, 3 QB Hurries

    You were saying?

    ...damn blanch: better know wtf you are talking about on here. It's not like most sites. A few of these mofo's know what they are talking about......

    I really don't know how much this will affect Bullough. My honest opinion of the DT position is this. If you can occupy blockers, you are successful. There are 2 ways to do it. Be incredibly disruptive, like Worthy was. OR, hold your ground and don't let the line bubble out and create holes, which forces a C/G to help out. I know, easier said than done. And maybe I am oversimplifying it. But I think with ARW and a rotation of about 4 guys (which they seem to have) they can get this done.

    While he MAY be affected by the departure of Worthy, I think he will benefit much more from the development of the rest of the DL and his LB partners. This was a young group last year, don't forget that. And MB was a true sophmore last year. I think Max will be first team all B1G, and will begin to cement his legacy.

    I think he'll lead the team in tackles again. He has to improve shedding blocks, so hopefully another year of weight training will help with that. I thought he looked pretty good last year, though he disappeared from some games.

    I thought MSU would get 90% of Greg Jones' from Bullough last year and I think they got between 80 and 85% of the production. What made MSU so formidable is that just about every other spot on D saw an increase in production from the year before. CLR was replaced by a true soph, with only a slight drop-off, if anything. The SS spot saw a true soph (Lewis) outplay the RS SR predecessor (Hyde). Denicos Allen didn't make as many tackles as Eric Gordon, but so what? Definite improvement there. Norman in '11 was better than Norman in '10.

    The DL, however, saw every single position take a step forward from the year before. Just so impressive to see that. Basically I feel that 9/11 positions on D last season improved from '10, and the 2 that didn't saw a minimal drop-off. Real testament to the coaches.

    Where is Marcus Hyde now?
