    You don't think there's a concern at corner? 

    i think depth is a concern. blades is good if he can get his shoulder right. the coaches love brian george, although the juco leap is always scary. myles jones isn't the worst 3rd corner to have, and devin morris was coming on at nickel late in the year. 

    really need jaylon jones to live up to the hype.

    Why don't you walk us through what you think they are, and in priority of concern?

    1. oline. talent. don't have it. not a position you can fake it either, especially under the scheme we're running. does henson know what he's doing? are he and jimbo on the same page? weird smoke signals here.

    2. kellen mond. what the fuck is he? if his absolute ceiling is a 65% completion rate, let's make the offense a bit more friendly towards him.

    3. running back. i like spiller a lot as a #2. unfortunately he's our #1 without much else behind him. who gets other snaps?

    everywhere else, the talent is either there to compete, or getting there. by and large i love what elko is doing. for all the bitching, jimbo was handed a 10 year contract largely on the basis of his success on offense, and come hell or high water he's going to do what he's always done. we'll see if he can either put enough talent on the field to make it work, or if the lack of adaptation ultimately eats him.

    I hope Rogers gets a combine invite because NFL teams will fall in love with him. The dude is a physical freak at his size. The fact A&M couldn't use him in a similar role as Collin Johnson is kind of insane. Just throw the ball up and he can beat most DBs at the point of attack. 

    wait, now he's good again? 

    and while he's one of the more frustrating guys i can remember in recent history given his size / speed / hands / football acumen combination, i think we've got bigger issues than replacing his 30 catches and 2 (two) touchdowns.

  4. while i put on my maroon gas mask and inhale a massive does of signing day smoke - i think this is a pretty damn solid class, and probably one offensive tackle (sheppard?) and another corner from being elite. the pressure is on jaylon jones and josh moten to both become good players, and george to get up to speed quick, if he even arrives in the summer.

    i don't understand punting ellison and keeping dallas walker, but they seem to love the kid, and auburn was heavy after him. the mowry, harris, diggs trio is going to result in at least one guy that's really good there if not two, and if doyle can keep his head on straight he's going to be in the mix immediately.

    if nothing else, jimbo has greatly increased the athleticism across the roster, but not sure how high the ceiling gets if we can't get better offensive linemen and corners.

    Sounds like a Linguist Special. Enjoy him and Jaylon Jones at CB for the next four years!

    i'm on record as thinking jaylon jones can play cb. i don't think burns can, nor do i think he ends up our class.

    I'm kind of in this boat too. I haven't watched him enough to make a bold "Sam Bradford seems like he sucks" call that would backfire curse him into a Heisman trophy, but the few times I did see him, I never thought I was seeing a generational talent. An excellent running back? Sure. But Adrian Peterson-level can't miss hall of fame level level running back? I didn't get that impression.

    he reminds me a ton of christine michael. tests off the chart, but something seems missing from his vision / production that the truly elite have.

    That's an interesting trap door. Kid was underrated when aTm was all over him, but he blew up later. I haven't looked at his tape, but he's a highly ranked kid. Seemed like he was LSU good, plus from the boot. 

    he's a hell of a player, but i don't think he can play corner at the next level. lsu's in state recruiting is hilarious. 

  7. has anyone talked about the new coldplay album? i think they pretty much lost the plot with everything after viva la vida (besides a few random singles here and there), but i really have enjoyed everyday life. some filler, but church, orphans, eko, old friends, everyday life are all great. am getting old as hell, but have unexpectedly enjoyed this.

    I hope you’re right, and generally agree, but all 3 of those schools are losing after this season. Bama loses like 24 seniors, likely 5-6 underclassmen to the draft including 2-3 wrs and Tua. Auburn loses, if memory serves, every starter in the trenches on both sides of the ball. LSU will be lucky to keep Brady, they lose Burrow and a ton of upperclassmen talent and Delpit and some other JRs also. I’ve seen all the discussions on Brady and that LSU “will do whatever it takes to keep him” and while that is certainly well and good, I think the odds are more in favor of him getting something he can’t refuse from somewhere else and it isn’t as if he’s in a haven of intellectual development for his future right now. No doubt Kyrie Eleison will shit himself in a fury to tell me how wrong I am, but I’ll stand by my objective position and dismiss an LSU imbecile’s whines. 

    i can masturbate to this.

    and yes, auburn loses all the players. will be interesting to see what the bama / lsu rosters and coaches look like next year.

    Also holy shit was the Ole Miss fanbase furious they lost that game. Truly exceptionally bad offensive coaching (that should at least put the stake in Matt Luke's career - he's fully a lame duck now) against a flat, boring aggy team.

    matt luke plus rich rod is a truly impressive duo. if i'm mike macintyre, i would have had to been physically restrained from going after them. 

    also, please put me on the record for chris morris being a pretty good cfb tackle. great feet and long arms. we could do worse, like what we have right now.

    new elbow album today. 

    there needs to be some sort of bat signal for this. on first listen, i love it, but my elbow fanboydom may not allow me to view this any other way.

    I heard Fowler on Eisen last winter and he's a real grade-a blowhard. He's a Connecticut, cat person who was opining the challenge that is unboxing Christmas decor that hadn't been out in a few years because they'd been Christmas-ing in Europe. 

    as someone who has gotten drunk with chris fowler, he is awesome, his wife is hot, he does not cover the tour de france (although it is the best sporting event in the world), and we're gonna beat bama's ass*

     

    *possibly cover if a lot of shit goes our way

    Evans is starting to take the Christine Michaels route. No on else wanted him, and he amounted to nothing. I'm ok with that. 

    somewhat shockingly, i actually agree with a spiderbanana take - i think both those guys are 99.9th percentile athletes who for whatever reason don't have the vision / feel / esoteric something to be next-level running backs. 

    michael was incredible at times, but his running style always was a touch stiffer than the guys who excel in college and beyond. evans has a bit of that.
