Elijah Alston

[Zanecane]

I can't find his thread but I am calling it now. This dude will have the biggest impact on our 2024 season amongst all transfers & high school recruits (outside of Ward).

His explosiveness, his experience, and his motor. Bain and Mesidor are in on first down and then this maniac comes in on passing downs. Our Ends are the real deal this season.

I'm looking forward to 3rd and long (obvious passing downs) when Bain, Mesidor, and Alston are on the field getting after the QB. Those 3 should be able to bring enough pressure to allow Guirdry to drop extra guys in coverage to protect the CBs (hoping Brown and a guy like Stafford take a leap).

Does Mesidor start over Alston?

If healthy, absolutely

Interesting.

What have you seen in Mesidor when he’s played that would make him better than Alston?

Mesidor due to run support imo. Alston plays a lot though and I could see packages with Bain, Mesidor, and Alston all rushing the passer on 3rd

When healthy, I’ve seen Mesidor perform at an All Conference level. He is a very good DE that can slide inside on passing downs. In 22 he had 10.5 TFL and 7 sacks in just 11 games.

Kid is a beast off the edge pause

What was his injury last year I didn’t hear anything but that he was injured or I didn’t bother to look

I hear what you're saying and skill level wise, Alston may end up being better.

But Messidor has produced at 2 P5 schools now since he was a freshman and Alston has never played against P5, besides a game here and there. Messidor has 38 tackles and 7 sacks here in 2022 when he was healthy.

Patchen played in front of Rousseau because of run support. Lets not make that mistake again.

 

[Cane_J15]

We addressed our two biggest issues QB and DE/ pass rush

Lulz, nobody did. Mario operates like the old USSR when it comes to injury info.

Does Mesidor start over Alston?

I would think so personally…If healthy Mesidor is a really good player.

Have to imagine we’ll see some Kelly/Bain/Mesidor/Alston packages on obvious passing situations, which will be filthy.

2 different roles.
