"I don't think in comparison individually- but I think in total...you know, just three really good receivers that all have made lots of plays, three really good runners, that have all made lots of good plays. You know, I think probably in total, depth-wise, it probably is the best group."
The three wide receivers Saban referred to are Amari Cooper, DeAndrew White, and Christion Jones while T.J. Yeldon, Kenyan Drake, and Derrick Henry are the three running backs.

Even if you hate Alabama, you can't deny the talent and depth at the skill positions.

Good for Alabama.
How's the offensive line and quarterback situation?

Cooper is about the most dangerous dude I've seen on a 2-yard pass. Dude can turn it into a 60-yard TD in a split second... I wouldn't want to cover him.

O line should be solid enough so that it wont lose us any games and QB is unknown.

He isn't wrong. That RB stable is filthy.

He is dangerous in just about every way. A scary good player if he is firing on all cylinders.

And why shouldn't it be? Alabama has had the best recruiting class for the last 4-5 years. Who couldn't win with those guys?

The RBs are great, the TE is great, the WRs really dont scare me.
Cooper is good but a bit overhyped ( i think it hurts the perception some though with the elite WRs we've seen in the SEC recently). The other 2 really havent done much. Jones gets his hype from his return ability, not his skills as a WR. He has like 750 yards receiving his first 3 years. White has about the same career receiving yards in his first 3 years.

Well, at one point he had a group that included: Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, Julio Jones, and Kevin Norwood. 3 first rounders, a second rounder, and a 4th rounder. He believes this group has more talent.

Cooper is going to be a top ten pick man

Last year was quite the drop off, battling injuries I get it, but he just hasn't shown to be that completely dominant receiver yet we've seen from so many other WRs in this conference recently.
And even if he lifts up his play a lot, the other WRs are not scary, which was my main point to start.

and the easiest schedule

Eh, Julio never put up dominant numbers either. The offense just hasn't typically called for it. He has the ability to take a game over though. That's pretty rare.
Neither white nor jones are superstars, but both are solid. White particularly has to be accounted for because he can fly and blow the top off the defense. We've got two more that we haven't seen a whole lot of yet that our fanbase is pretty excited about. Both were 5 stars and have a lot of ability.

If not for LSU and Aubs there would hardly be anyone to tell the Bama fans how shitty their team is.
4th in the west anyone?

i think that is probably his favorite play. I'm not completely sold on Cooper's greatness, but he is definitely a slippery fricker. He seems like he could juke a guy inside a phone booth. But Cooper has bulked up some this year so I'm interested to see how that effects his play.

It's not just those guys at WR. Some serious 5*/4* talent behind them: plus a game changer at TE and some incoming freshman that will be stars.
The online doesn't have the star power as in the past but it's still pretty damn good.
All we need is for the QB to not frick it up but if he turns out to be better than average then look the frick out cause the D will be filthy ... Gonna win the first CFBPO.
