Thomson has played very well this year, I don't think anyone who follows SU lax would argue that. Him being out is a big loss right now. Still I don't think it changes the concern and issue regarding the lack of an upper level dodging threat on the attack line. Take nothing away from an outstanding win against Hop but they're defense as good as it is, is the exact type that SU feasts on. Very slide happy and extremely quick to slide on most dodges.

The concerns with Deere is that Thomson can do some dodging even though its clearly not his strength, Deere is a pure crease guy who is zero dodging threat at all. If we had an elite X type attackmen he would fit in great but we don't.  SU has to have a third attackmen who can draw a pole if the ACC teams and Cornell/Gate can get away with double polling like Hopkins did for 3+ quarters were gonna struggle offensively. I know people have concerns about Anderson which is valid but again he's gotten one half of PT against Utah to date, gotta give him some extended PT to see what he can do. Deere is a very good player but I don't think his skill set is conducive to running with Joey and Hiltz on a starting attack line.

If anything I think SU should rotate these guys in be it every few possessions by quarter or something.
