re: Alabama in the NFL

GOAT

Dareus is back, got a TFL so far in the first

Kareem Jackson had 5 tackles including 1 for loss. A'Shawn had 4 tackles and 1 sack.
Amari Cooper had 173 Yds and 1 TD on 12 receptions.



Mark Ingram got benched after losing a fumble for a 2nd straight game in a row

yeah I bummed about Ingram, and still about Lacy's injury. Nice to see Coopers' big day and beating the Bucs in OT.

In the current game Julio got the better of a Packer's defender who complained (to Julio not the ref) and had to be consoled by Ha Ha.

How the hell did I not see that?

Richard Sherman with some words on Julio being one of the toughest WRs he's ever covered:

I’ll start with Julio Jones because he can basically do everything. He has great hands, great speed, he can leap up and snatch the ball out of the air — he has the all-around game you want in a wide receiver. There are no weaknesses in his game.

But the thing that really puts him over the top is the fact that he’s a blue-collar player. He doesn’t take plays off. He doesn’t jog on decoy routes. He runs every route at max effort, even when there’s a 100% chance he’s not getting the ball. He blocks on run plays as hard as he expects his teammates to block for him on pass plays. And because he’s always going 100 mph, he doesn’t give you any indicators that might help you decipher whether it’s a run or a pass, or if he’s getting the ball or they’re throwing to the other side of the field. Some guys, when the play is away from them, will fire off the line of scrimmage and then let up.

But not Julio. At the cornerback position, where you’re on the field for every play, he’s a guy who can wear you down over the course of a game.

I won’t go into all the physical tools he has, because we’d be here all day. If you want to see them on display, you don’t need to look any further than the 300-yard game he had against the Panthers earlier this year. Here’s one of his biggest plays from that game.

A guy who can do that, and who refuses to take a play off, presents a pretty unique challenge for any cornerback.

ESPN Stats & Info ?@ESPNStatsInfo 12h12 hours ago Julio Jones: 33rd career 100-yard receiving game, tied with Calvin Johnson for most in the NFL since his debut in 2011.

CJ Mosley almost had an INT, but dropped it. He's going really good in coverage today.

Kenyon Drake ran a kickoff back for a TD! Yea baby
