Just a few nuggets
1. Simmons is further almong get right now than where Chris jones was ...
2. What the starting DBs lack in experience they make up for in athleticism ..
3. Offense is looking much better . With Ross and Holloway in the drills ..
4. Reggie Todd will redshirt but he is going to be very good ..
5. OL will be better than it was last year ( take that however u want)
Did we ever find out how bad Todd was hurt?
People I've talked to said that Simmons was no doubt the better player in HS.
The OL will be what it is- and will crumble in big games
The positions to watch Saturday are QB, RB, and CB
Wasn't bad & he's back practicing.Quote:

The LSU, AU, and A&M stretch was fantastic but in hindsight those wins didn't matter like Bama or LSU normally would.Quote:

We could have won against LSU last year, but they were a pretty mediocre team when we played them and our Oline still made it really unlikely that we would win.Quote:

We crumble every year against good DL's. Don't act like this is a new revelationQuote:

This year we will struggle with Auburn, LSU, Bama, A&M, and probably OM. UPig's won't be bad either. That's the entire SEC West
Definitely a huge pull.Quote:

I would go as far as to say Ross, Gray, Myles, Dear, & Mixon are top 5 good.Quote:

Mixon will fill one of those slots easily .. Gray more involved this year and better pro prospect than any of those 3 guys , and hopefully JJ can stay healthy ..
The way random attacks hevesy and our OL woes reminds me of how 34 used to go after stands. LOL.
Is the HARD ON bigger or smaller compared to the one Random Poster has for our OL????Quote:

Whoever Random is ...can't argue with the lack of production our OL had last year..
Or the lack of recruiting the position the past years..
Really? That is where we are now?Quote:

I'm still halfway expecing him to end up at OL.
What no love for the water boys?
All I've heard about the kid is how athletic he is. If he has the blocking skills of an olineman also, I'd rather him help seal the edge running and be a passing game threat alsoQuote:

I was messing with him. He knows that. But there are also people who will constantly focus on everything negative about a situation & never the positive. That's not healthy, period.Quote:

I'm not thrilled with our oline, but let's take a look at some stats...Quote:

Seems like our biggest problem has been defense. You hardly ever hear the bitching about any group of our defense that you do about our oline, despite the fact our oline has been serviceable enough to give us a very good offense
He is a huge pull, but his recruitment is far from over.....dude is a beast!!! and looks every bit that he could play nfl now......he said that he wants to be close to home so his grandparents can come watch him play....at this moment, we are the closest to his home state of georgia.....has offers from LSU and aTm.....i have a feeling he is going to have a bama, auburn, uga, and the rest of the SEC offering him before its over.....he graduates in december, and is an instant plug n play SEC starter.....hope we keep himQuote:

One name I haven't seen mentioned all camp long is Osiris Mitchell. I knew Todd was a stud, but what about Mitchell?Quote:
