All the Belue doubters/haters need to buy me some Dreamland next time I'm in T-Town damnit

I will around the same time you buy me some Archibald's for "Devall will not be a starter", among other things

I maintain the Kareem Jackson comparison on Belue, does more good than bad, but the bad will be focused on more because it's easier to spot. Most of the complaints were of the '12 season, not his progression going forward. I will say though a small thing you exclude while trying to rub it in people's faces about him being the "best 1st year CB starter", he had the best supporting DBs this far into the Saban era.


Anyway, only thing that really bothered me is depth and experienced depth. The former will be improved with the incoming class, and the latter will regain a bit with returning injured players like DePriest and Fulton. Maybe backup Center, because of some of the exchanges.

I like Ryan Anderson in the Hightower role they used him at, stopped Drake on an early down carry inside, then pressured Sims from the DE spot into his throwaway turned INT.

Pagan has been the guy that's been hyped up since last year, especially the people that saw him WalterFootball-spawned mock drafts, but Stinson is the player on the line. He's not gonna have a Square senior year, but more like a Dareus type.

I didn't see anything that would change the back 4, though I could see Fulton usurping Jones in nickel if "simple errors" continue. I think Sunseri looked more than good, he was at the ball every time and had some great reads. That Pick6 off the tip drill was icing.

ETA: Hit enter too early, still adding stuff...
