Jonah is an edge OL. Might be better suited to play RT than LT, but IMO, he's talented enough to be on the edge and he proved it last year.

LT- Leatherwood
LG- Willis
C- Ross P
RG- Womack
RT-Jonah

This would be my preferred OL. Womack has shown he doesn't have the feet to play the edge.


I could live with that. I just know that apparently someone on staff (no idea if Key or who) thinks that Jonah's best position is C. But he looks just fine at OT to me. That being said, you have to have him, Leatherwood, and Wills on the field next year however you have to make it happen.

Not a coach, but I believe (with an off-season to prep) Jonah would probably be excellent at any position on the OL.

D: How'd you like my use of the two runningback formation during the game?

A: Huh? I only saw Hurts and a single back in the shotgun most of the game.

D: Exactly.

Meanwhile, KJ gets 30 carries in the game.

12 more then all 3 of Bama's RB.

They played with a lead for most of the second half, but yea it's frustrating seeing them have a RB used like we used to.

Is Bama looking for any possible grad transfers for the DL next year?

Kenny Bigelow is transferring from USC.

Benito Jones maybe leaving Ole Miss if the sanctions are bad enough.

With the way that our staff has inexplicably been out-worked/out-recruited at the DL position this cycle given that our depth chart will be razor thin and immediate playing time is available, I'd say absolutely.

I feel it’s a wasted visit myself.

One good thing about our loss.Staff gets extra time to recruit after a gap of many years. Hope this is the impetus needed to boost our 2018 class.

Pruitt might be gone to be the HC at Miss St. How will this affect recruiting?

Does anyone get why the staff is continuing to give WR Joshua Moore (Nebraska commit) so much attention?

He's the kid Saban Skype'd from the draft last year and reports are staff are visiting him this week after he took an official Oct. 21, yet we clearly have other names closer to committing (Waddle, Copeland) to an already deep WR group.

And I realize I may be late to the party on this, but I really hope they know what they're doing by letting a backyard kid like Seth Williams who's a big body with a big ceiling walk to the barn.. or maybe I'm missing something.

Anyway, Saban and co. should ONLY be visiting/ Skype'ing DB and DL prospects for a straight month!!

They like Moore...more as a DB, but he likes WR a lot. Effectively they are recruiting him as an athlete.

Anybody committing any time soon? We need a commitment to help overcome our Iron Bowl depression.

Seth Williams doesn't have a high ceiling. That's actually part of the deal with him . He's a better WR than a lot of guys right now (high floor), but he's thought to have a fairly low ceiling.

Man I feel like we've got WR to burn for the next two years. We need some defensive players preferably run stoppers in the middle that will eat blocks and some corners who can play. This defense loses damn near everybody and it's going to rough next year if this years defense bothers anyone else like it does me.

Payne
Frazier
Hand
The entire secondary

True. But if we could find someone that can get those receivers the ball, we might could have an offense that could take the pressure off the defense for once.
