Message: [QUOTE="ohmilax34, post: 3133358, member: 6339"] In the coaches' opinion (and that's what truly counts), I think they have him in the top 2-3 close defensemen, so either the best or 2nd best after Mellen. If the close defense is Mellen, Murphy and either DiPietro or Staats or ___________ and the SSDMs are Dearth, Helmer, Oladunmoye, Barlow and Small, I'm good with that. If they move Murphy and Helmer then SSDM really suffers, as evidenced by Denver scrimmage. And if the SSDMs are weak, then the whole defense is worse off. The SU defense, and I'm sure pretty much all defenses, are so much better when there is confidence in the SSDMs to do well with their match ups. [/QUOTE]
