Here's what he had to say about your team:
ALABAMA
“As it sits, Alabama might be an eight-win team on paper. Obviously a lot hinges on how well the FSU kid (Jacob Coker) does coming in — will he make or break the season? The freshman, David Cornwell, is not ready. If they have to go with Blake Sims, their offensive play-calling is very limited. They would run the ball a lot, wouldn’t be very exotic in the passing game.”
“The running backs are solid, not as good as the 2010 lineup, but really good. Kenyan Drake is maturing and Derrick Henry is doing a lot better with protections, assignments, developing the passing game — he could always run the ball.”
ARKANSAS
“They did have a couple good defensive lineman, especially Chris Smith, but he’s gone now.”
“Based on what they’re doing, I just don’t think they can score enough. It starts with the offense — they are not set up to score a lot of points. It’s ball control, grind-it-out, I-Formation, play-action football.”
AUBURN
“The linebackers will be average. A lot of them are just guys.”
“If Auburn can develop a passing game, they’ll probably be the best team in the West.”
FLORIDA
“They didn’t have a lot of guys who could make plays at wideout, which is amazing at a place like Florida.”
“The quarterback situation is bad. When Jeff Driskel got hurt, the kid that left in the offseason (Jacoby Brissett) could’ve played but they didn’t have anybody there. Driskel goes down and the offense was devastated. That’s the danger when you stockpile a bunch of quarterbacks or when you miss on a quarterback. All of a sudden your starter gets hurt and then the guy who wasn’t the starter but was pretty good leaves. The days of waiting until the fifth year to start are few and far between.”

GEORGIA
“Gurley is as good as I’ve seen in the league. I think he is better than the backs that Alabama has had. He has game-changing ability. The Bama backs have all been good, but they have had great talent around them. Gurley is great without any help. Nobody wants to tackle the kid and he runs away from everybody on defense.”
“Youth is more important with offense than defense. A young defense can really struggle.”
KENTUCKY
“Just average. That’s the reality of the situation.”
“As far as the roster returning, they had some decent linebacker play and both defensive ends are decent — not spectacular, but decent. That pretty much sums it up.”
LSU
“The defense last year was pretty inexperienced and quite honestly weren’t very good.”
“None of those guys on defense coming back really stuck out to me.”
MISSISSIPPI ST.
“If they ever get a really good quarterback, they can be pretty darn good. I know they are pretty high on Dak Prescott but since he didn’t start all of last season I’m not exactly sure what they have in him. He’s talented but he’s still a bit of an unknown.”
“Mississippi State is an intriguing team. It could go either way for them — they could break through or be toward the bottom of the SEC West.”
MIZZOU
“Maty Mauk is tough competitor, comes from a good football family. Experience he gained last year will pay huge dividends. That stuff still counts.”
“It’s inevitable they will take a step back on defense next year. Any time you lose that many guys on the defensive front, you are going to take a step back.”
OLE MISS
“They are probably the second-best team in the West, maybe better.”
“Bo Wallace is not a big-time quarterback but he’s functional. He won’t really screw it up a lot. Sometimes that’s what you need.”
SOUTH CAROLINA
“Traditionally South Carolina was always at seven or eight wins and Steve (Spurrier) has been able to get them up to the 10-win mark, which is impressive. It’ll be interesting to see how much longer he’ll go …”
“When they were really getting it, Mike Davis ran hard. I would put him right up there with Todd Gurley as far as SEC East backs who are big time.”
TENNESSEE
“You want to catch those guys early. You don’t want to play them late because they’ll be better but will be a little disjointed early. Get them before they kind of get their feet on the ground.”
“I thought (quarterback) Josh Dobbs was average. He’s a really smart kid and all that stuff, but from a talent and skill level, average. I’m talking about precision, getting the ball out on time, throwing with accuracy — you like to have a guy who can push the ball downfield. He was average in those areas, but a lot of that comes with young, so maybe he can develop that.”
TEXAS A&M
“What’s going to hurt them is losing not only Johnny Manziel, but a couple of really good receivers and the Jake Matthews kid.”
“Last year they had a safety that was terrible, defensive line wasn’t good, really nobody on defense. Those studs they had in 2012, four guys that were difference-makers. When those guys left, there was nobody.”
VANDERBILT
“On defense, they lost the whole secondary basically. They have some good young talent in there but it’s unproven.”
“Losing Jordan Matthews is going to be huge for them. That’s 100-plus catches that they’ll have to replace. That’s the biggest question mark.”
ALABAMA

You shouldn't have because he said some true things about your team too
I feel bad for Everett because he's good it's just too bad the rest of the defense is just awful

Idk who this guy is, but our 2 corners about to make him eat his own words...... And then guess what? They will come back again to kick his arse a second time.

Meh they were good enough last year to beat Ole Miss.

He basically said all of the teams have issues and suck. Hell, someone has to win it.

Johnny was good enough you mean and he's gone. Didn't you read the first quote?
Posted on 8/5/14 at 3:41 pm to Wardamnbulldog
You forgot these:
TEXAS A&M
“They’ll be good on defense. Mark Snyder got a lot of flack last year because people put up some points but he’s a good coordinator. He’s going to get those guys in position to make plays.”
“They had really young guys on defense, so the biggest deal with them was they weren’t very big and got knocked off the ball up front. Even when they were decent in the secondary, you could run the ball in between the tackles. As long as those guys have stated growing and continue to develop, you won’t be able to do that."
“Sumlin has always been a good recruiter. They’ll get good young players. How soon can they be ready to play is the question? They’ve stockpiled a lot of skill guys and some talented defensive front seven guys the last two years so we’ll see if they can emerge.”

The fact that this same individual referred to Jake Matthews as the "Matthews kid" when talking about Robinson from Auburn tells me it's fat Bert who thinks he's the be all end all for Oline talent evaluation.
quote:
Last year they had a safety that was terrible
Which is why Clay Honeycutt is back on the bench where he belongs.
quote:
defensive line wasn’t good
Not after Ennis tore his ACL it wasn't.
quote:

Clearly that's why Deshazor Everett is 1st team preseason all-SEC.
The difference makers in 2012 were Moore, Porter, Terrell, and Everett.
The ignorance in this quote tells me it must be a landmass school. Either Mullen or Freeze.

The first two are Miles and Saban, not sure of the order. The third one is likely Spurrier.
There's clearly a lack of ignorance in those three quotes.

Rashard Robinson locked down Mike Evans so hard they both disappeared from the football field and tape.
