it's funny that people who weren't even on here then know what you're talking about just by those 4 letters.

Man our D is going to be sick again. Man looks like Yeldon is legit.

Very satisfied overall.

I think the RB Depth chart is as follows:

Eddie Lacy - Starter, WILL get Trent/Ingram like carries.

TJ Yeldon - Relief back. What Lacy did last year, and Trent before Lacy. He was looking good today. Would he have had those numbers against Bama's First team D? No. Would he have had good numbers against other teams though? Probably, not as good as today's, but still good.

Hart - Yeldon is good out of the backfield, but Hart is better. Hart will be on returns and on catches out of the back field duty. He'll get some carries too, just not quite as many as Yeldon.

Fowler - Same role as last year sadly. He's fast for his size, but I don't think he gets near as many carries as Yeldon. About the same as last year, a garbage time back. He may get to be the relief back in some games such as Ole Miss or Mizzou, but not in most.


AJ looked great, and the Flea Flicker to Kenny Bell was SPOT ON. That was ball placement you only see from NFL guys. I think we should use that a bit next year. Not so much that everyone expects it, but maybe on AJ's last drive of some games or something.

Sims looked alright, even with a sore shoulder. He made a couple of mental mistakes in terms of holding onto the ball for too long, but he'll be good his Senior Year if he stays that long.

The O-Line looked good for the stage that they are in. Yes, four of them played together last year, but they've gotta work Cyrus in, and a couple of different blocking schemes are there too. Plus, they played against a dominant D-Line. The run blocking looked great and consistent. The pass protection was better than last years, and will only get better as we go on.


On D the Linebackers looked good, Nico and Mosley are the best ILBs in the nation. No doubt about it.

The D-line was good, and Jesse Williams is going to be a beast. We're really deep there so hopefully we'll use that depth to keep our starters fresh.

The secondary was good. Dare I say that it might even be just as good as last years. I don't think Fulton will be in the mix as a starter or NB, but maybe as a Dime back. As soon as Dixon gets his learning down, he'll be on the field. Milliner/Belue is a deadly combo, and one of the fastest CB combos in the nation, as both are faster than 4.4. Lester is a top Safety. Him and Eric Reid are the best and they are studs. Lester wasn't amazing today, but he's always been the guy who makes you pay for forgetting about him. Hell, the only reason his INT numbers were down last year is because no one would throw at him or Dre. They tested Menzie/Milliner and to some extent Barron, and they still paid for it. Sunseri and HaHa both impressed me, but Sunseri is just a stud. #VinnieBadger. I hope HaHa sees the field as a Dimeback over Fulton.

Special teams is great. We should get plenty of touchbacks, and Shelley is much more accurate. I think Griffith might kick some of the longer field goals instead of Foster though. Mandell's punting was just beautiful, though when Griffith gets on campus he might try out punting too. That'd be a deadly duo.

Our return game will be fierce. Hart/Belue should be the guys, and they are great speed AND vision. I say both get 2 Return TDs next season.

Kick/Punt coverage looks ok, it is hard to tell in the Spring Game, but it looks like it'll be solid.
