Spring Practice

Defense :
Lots of energy in defense .
Grantham and English can coach
Front 7 is very good
Enjoy #94 (Sweat) he may be one and done . He , Green, and Spencer will be hell coming off the edges .
Simmons is a Sunday guy
Erol is going to be a good one .
Jung is going to make plays .
And Dez practiced brace free . Kid has a huge ****ing Ticker.
We have some NFL guys on that side of the ball.
The backend is going to be night and day better .
Dantzler looks just look Banks with the same number . He will play a lot
Smitherman back at CB
Peters Smokey Durr Cleveland and Landrews both CB and S . Lots of bodies and some talent.
Adams Bryant McClaurin 3 very good S . And yes JT is back there now .
Maybe CDM will let this staff do what it's paid to do coach the def and he can stay the **** out of the way .
Grantham and English both have to be drinking honey And Jack right now for their voices. they stayed in ass from start to finish.
And some intel into Shaq . The main obstacle right now is going to be The POS Bobby P . But look for Shaq to be here this summer.. there is more than a couple of avenues he can take in order to get here ..
Again .. the Def staff is by far the best we have had during the Mullen era top to bottom.. so hats off to CDM addressing this issue .

Offense little later.

I don't understand what Bobby P could do to Shaq since he's a grad transfer. By rule he can go where he wants.

What did you mean Grantham and "Sirmon" need Jack and honey for their voices? Did you mean Grantham and English? Thanks for the update. Looking forward for a report on the O.

Yes English

Offense
Hard to tell a lot with the OL with all the injuries
Reese ran with the ones a lot at RT would love for that kid to win that job so Jenkins could play G
Our first 5 OL will be ok and could be good. .. the next 5 is the concern.
Fitz looked really good passing
We ran some 5 on 7 . 5 Wr against 7 defenders . He made some nice touch passes . Threw the deep ball well. He has improved greatly with his passing. CDM is a QB guru I will say that .
KT doesn't look like a kid that was in high school 3 months ago . Kid is going to be special
The QB position is in very good hands
Was told Donald Gray is working his ass off , kid wants to get to the league. We have some big targets In couch , Todd , Mitchell and some nice lookin TE's
Donate Jones has to be around 255 now .
We are going to need one WR and step up (Todd, Couch , someone ) and be that outside guy to take pressure off Gray . Losing Dear hurts but Mixon is good , prob even better ..

Overall
We need To stay injury free the rest of spring ball and the fall
Get these high school kids here that will see PT ( Gay and Hill) and get them ready.
This team passes the eye test when u see us line up ..
Some big fast mother ****ers .

Look forward to seeing them myself next week.

OL is a huge question
Who is going to be the 2nd WR is a HUGE question
We certainly will work the middle of the field alot this season because of our TE's and RB's catching passes

Lack of big play ability in the passing game is there in 2017- but the "Grinder mentality" is certainly there for this group

All boils down to the big uglies on O. If they can play with cohesion and we can stave off the injury bug, we can win some games. We always have when that unit played well. '10 and '14 both come to mind.

Good stuff Ari. Thanks for the update

Grad transfers still have to be released by the school.

Agreed. Thanks for the update.

Just a release in general or a release to certain schools?

No different than any other transfer. The school has to release you & set the rules as far as where you can transfer.

Sucks. Petrino would really look bad if he said no miss state though. We don't play them and not like we'll be playing in the playoffs

Yea he'd get bad press & eventually would probably let up. Saban did the same with Maurice Smith & UGA last year. The backlash was so strong he caved in.

Would be shocked if Gay plays offense. Not because he cant do it, just dont think we will use him there. I think hes an ILB

I think the last 4 lines were in general statements. Not offense notes

I'm hoping he was including wide receivers in the "big, fast mother ****ers" statement. Hoping they can catch and catch in traffic too.

Lack of big play in passing game 2017 is there? We've never had a true deep threat under Mullen at WR until now with Mixon. He's a legit 4.3 that shows it when he catches the ball.

Is Calhoun practicing?
