  1. Better Ohio State than Georgia. We’ll play him again in his last year if he stays after Day gets fired or leaves
  2. He was buoyed this year by 5th and 6th year players all over defense and 6th year Penix throwing to 3 really good receivers. They have like 6 losable games next year as things stand. They lose maybe half of those if Milroe stays healthy.
  3. Niblack isn't Sam LaPorta, but he’s a willing blocker out there. That should be enough to become serviceable before he departs the 40. As long as he keeps his head on straight
  4. He's also a below average recruiter in the south without a strong NIL foundation behind him. If he doesn't win enough early (2 years), it's gonna get ugly.
  5. Transition is tough, it's even tougher since they specifically chose to live in Tuscaloosa to get coached by Saban. The value proposition has changed and DeBoer isn't the guy to convince them otherwise. On top of that, they can make better money, live in a better town, and potentially get better development by leaving. Not a hard decision if that's why you came.
  6. I assume you're counting the Buck and Jack in your 140-150 snaps per game. Don't forget we had Jett Bush and Mo Blackwell rushing the passer from the SLB position at times too, so there are plenty of ways to get more pass rushers out there in the 70 or so defensive snaps per game.
  7. I think they just get the lambo for weekends here and there. That’s not their everyday driver car.
  8. Sucks for that kid, must be hard to look in the mirror while watching Milroe have the success he thought he was heading for. I still remember those offseason workout vids where he looked a step or two below the guys he was going through drills with.
  9. He played with Donovan smith, Samuel brown and Joseph manjack last year. My point is that, in the past, we’ve seen WRs further down the depth chart (B. Thompson) whine about the WR room getting crowded. It’s good to see him supporting all the new people who could potentially reduce his targets this year.
  10. This is already a better WR room than last year. Will they produce like it? Who knows. The drop off from Sanders to Niblack is probably a solid one, but it’s hard to determine the kind of output he and Bond would have in a more competent passing offense. At the very least, he provides a different look in the red zone and on money downs. The team needs to gel over the offseason for things to really start to take off.
  11. I originally assumed Matt Golden was coming here to have more of a target share than he has in his career thus far. I’m glad he’s good with all these other receivers coming in.
  12. Or you have an opportunity to shore up positions on the roster that would have been question marks heading into the season The talent on campus at these positions is young, unproven, or both. Jabbar Muhammad would put us in position to cross train Brooks at the other db positions if needed. Having all that proven performance in the secondary and at WR makes it easier to evaluate the young guys there too. Iron sharpens iron.
  13. There is an additional 30 day window to enter the portal if your team loses its head coach.
  14. Didn’t they tamper with guys like Jameson Williams, Jermaine Burton, Eli Ricks, Jahmyr Gibbs, etc?
  15. Blue can also give you formation versatility out of a number of personnel packages due to his hands and route running.
  16. Clark looks shorter than I expected. Or maybe CJ grew a bit.
  17. Fully agreed. Niblack wouldn't be a bad fallback option if we can't get the Stanford guy though.
  18. He's an impressionable 17 year old kid with family that would rather he be closer to home. He was a flight risk even when we had Bo. Good luck to him. Wonder if he'll finally make it to Austin on Nov. 9.
  19. Robinson was never going to contribute this year. January might, Hills needs a lot of time to develop. He's from Louisiana, so hopefully he doesn't eventually follow Bo to LSU as well.
  20. Yea, guys like Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen won tons of games in college too. Shit, throw Brock Purdy in there.
  21. I dunno if he even wants to be an on field coach at this point, but it’s too bad if he decides to go back
  22. I think Manu is part of the Servite clique though. With Fifita and T-Mac staying, he's less likely to go.
