Jacksonville is the Dumbest team out there. They take a RB, when the real need is OL. If they still think Blake Borttles  can be their QB then why not protect the poor dude. even if Fournete is all that he cant run if nobody blocks for him (see Bama games). Plus they have a quality RB in TJ Yeldon that may not be a bruiser but he can run and catch. We will see how ole Fournete runs with no one blocking for him. He is a talented RB but you can't build a team around a RB. Game is won and lost in the trenches.

Emitt Smith wouldn't have been anything without that great Dallas OL. just saying.

I really don't know why this is a big story. I mean yeah he is Bear's Grandson but Bama and Saban are not after him (yet). and besides he is a Junior.

I think they get caught up Combine and Pro day stats. MG looks the part, Runs fast. But what did he do against top competition?

Ryan Anderson will be a steal for some team. they say third round...gezzz.

So ive seen some predictions about the picks.

Do people really think Myles Garret is all that? I dont think he made very many plays against Bama or LSU. He is fast but he also got hurt...a lot!

Also they have Fournete going to Jacksonville...Really? they dont need a RB (they have an Alabama RB) what they need is an OL.

I guess we will see tonight

It is beyond me why the Texans did at least look into a trade for him. They have nothing down there.

I really think AJ could be a decent NFL QB. he has an Arm and looked capable when he got the chance a couple of years ago. Just didn't have the experience.

i wish they would trade Mark. They don't  use him right. Mark has always been a guy who has to get into a rhythm. If you use him once or twice a ball game he is not your guy.

he would be good with the Texans, or maybe Miami.

I think Tua does a better fake hand off move than Hurts. The play action will be huge for Bama this year. but i guess if the RB's start to make big chunks of yards even the little fake will catch the D.

Hey HSCOACH,

I like what i saw from Levi Wallace. he had at least two good pass break ups. I wonder if he will get more playing time. He has come a long way.

Hurts was the better QB...for now. I will say that Tua looks for a WR to throw to when he scrambles and i didn't see that when Hurts scrambled.

Saban has mentioned, and i heard it in some players interviews, that they want to get back to dominating teams. Making them quit. How do you do that? Power football, with play action thrown in for good measure. But to do that the O-line had to be a bunch of whoop arse type. Do we have that? I guess we will see.

Where is the UT game this year?

I know ole Butch Jones is going to throw the sink at us to try and save his butt. UT fans are awful quite this year, I like it better when they think they have something (like last year).

I kind of want Jones to stay, the last thing we need is for Tenn to finally hit on one of their coaching choices.
Ole Payton might give it a go..just kidding.

I agree. I kind of doubt he becomes the starter but i think he will see playing time. and we may see that kind of an Offense for the next couple of years....if they are both good with sharing playing time. IDK

My dad plays golf left handed but does everything else Right handed.

It would take a lot of work to learn to throw left handed if your right handed. this Tua guy is interesting! 

Yeah that is the question, how patient will Tua be?

If we play Fresno State and start blowing them out of the water, who comes in as the back up? Do you burn that redshirt to get Tua playing time in case Hurts gets injured?

I think Tua will play this year. at least some.

So if we buy into the hype the Tua is the next coming of Stabler, Tebow and Mike Vick all wrapped into one Hawaiian Qb, when do we see him taking over at Bama?

Let's look at it from a different point. Yes Hurts was the Offensive Player of the Year in the SEC last year, but there were times were everyone was unsure if he could complete a 5 yard throw. And lets not forget Hurts was basically third string headed into Spring last year.

Do we just say hey Hurts is our guy because he made plays and stayed calm last year? Do we secretly root for him to mess up enough to see Tua?


Here is my real take. I hope Hurts goes out and lights up the passing game next year. I also hope Tua gets some playing time to learn. My fear is if Tua is as good as everyone says and Hurts gets just a little passing game going, that Tua will not be able to wait on his chance. (I pray that I am wrong) It's hard now for Players to stay 4 years in college if they are good. So Tua's 2nd year would be Hurts third and maybe final (Big Maybe). We had how many QB's leave last year because they were not going to overtake Hurts?
Competition is a good thing, but when does it also become a problem?
