Practice thoughts

Umm, ok. You feeling good about Kendall Jones and the freshman huh?

I feel OK about Autry and Lovett.

[Brahmabull]

Y’all drinking too much koolaid. Trouble is coming! You don’t go 8-5 with the talent we had this past season and then improve in the following year when you lose the majority of that talent.

Kool-Aid? Most people are worried about our QB and DT in this thread alone.

Real trouble at DT and DL is in Oxford.
For sure we will take a step back , you aren’t replacing Simmons

But we have recruited DL really well over the last 3 seasons now. Lets see if these kids are ready to go
There is still a lot of talent up front and a freshman by the name of Pickering could be the next big thing that comes from Our DL

Yes its not going to be our strong position like it was , but its going to be better than most think

We want be as good defensively but we will be better offensively. I just have a gut feeling we will see a two headed QB with KT and Mayden. If so it will make defenses we face prepare for both. Just saying.

[ShotgunDawg]

Is Mayden going to win the QB job?

I think you may see both guys since they have different skill sets

If Mayden can complete passes, he needs to start.

This paragraph is awful...

"Morehead also revealed senior defensive tackle Kendell Jones sustained an upper-body injury a few practices back that will hold him out for "an extended period of time."

...

First of all, damn, spell Moorhead's name right. 2nd, we do not need DTs getting hurt

I expect it to be Keytaon. From what I’ve read, the team seems to have bought in on him as a leader. Saban always says the guy who “wins the team” should be the QB. So if it’s even close, and sounds like it is, I think you go with the guy who’s won the locker room.

[Cooterpoot]

We still have crap at WR. We’re considerably thinner and less talented on defense overall. But, we’ve got playmakers on defense. OL still has issues at tackle but the middle will be solid. Need Cross to take over at some point at LT. I won’t be surprised if we see both QBs play this year. Mayden is going to be hard to beat out. Damn we need some WRs!

Playing 2 QB's is usually not a winning formula.

Depends.

[chef dixon]

Can't comment on how Mayden looks now, but he was big time deer-in-headlights when he got in the game last year. If Moorhead likes him, I bet he will start KT and play Mayden a decent amount in the opener. I'd be shocked if KT doesn't start.

[Todd4State]

The QB stats need to be taken with a grain of salt since Mayden went up against the second team and Key the first. It sounds like Key had a few batted down.

Joe likes to play two often times in the same formation.

Yeah, worked well last year. **

True, but it makes it interesting when it's:

Keytaon Thompson 7-of-15, 77 yards, 1 touchdown (15), one interception; Jalen Mayden 12-of-15, 135 yards, 0 touchdowns, 0 interceptions;


What is more concerning is this:

DE Marquiss Spencer, DT Kendell Jones, WR Stephen Guidry, S C.J. Morgan, LB R.J. Jennings, and DE Ani Izuchukwu.... all out for injury.

Guidry... come on. That's concerning considering past events

[Goldendawg]

Looking at the depth chart on 24/7 after each practice, I know Guidry is out, but I don't even recognize some of the names on the three deep at WR. Know all the slot names. I hope that I am wrong, but I think it takes highly tinted, maroon colored glasses to think this O will work with a virtually inexperienced QB against good SEC defenses.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Spencer isnt big enough to play inside. Thats my concern with moving a DE.

Also, the group of DL coming in, we will get a boost from 2 of them.

If it were me I would move Austin Williams to outside WR. That would give us Guidry, Osirus, Whop, and Austin at outside and Deddrick and Dear in the slot. We could still use Austin in the slot as well.
