re: Is Alabama's defense overrated?

Kind if like bama last year? Lsu , A&M and lsu moved the ball at will against bama last year. Does that mean Bama's defense wast the best defense in the sec?

LSU and LSU...?

Dude, LSU managed 17 points. "Moving the ball at will" means nothing if you can't seal the deal. That's like being called the "sexiest virgin".

It statements like this that make bama fan look like the most biased fan base in cfb. Bell doesn't have 900 yards for his career but yeah he could be 1000 yard receiver.

Again, you are too invested in an antagonistic and biased point of view yourself to see things clearly. Kenny Bell is a damn good WR and would put up 1000 yards if he had the chance, it's not lack of ABILITY just OPPORTUNITY. You're just hell bent on making a point no matter how wrong it is. Also, let's look back at our exchange. I was clearly trying to talk football with you but you just couldn't handle it without making some cheap shot. Just a few posts before mine however, you chided some other poster for the exact same thing YOU just did. What that tells me is that you are too eager on voicing your side of the story to see that you are being totally hackish and duplicitous.

When you make statements like Bama's WR's suck...that just tells me you have no idea what you are talking about. Have a nice day!

Bama does not need a defense when their offense holds every play !

This is sooooo wrong. Norwood, White, maybe Ch. Jones? Yes. Bell? No. His best asset has always been straight line speed. He's not a good route runner, doesn't have good hands. He has always been a go deep or take a screen guy. He only plays now because he's experienced and he's one of AJ's best friends. He isn't that talented, and couldn't be a number one WR. He's not even as fast as he was last year, he's visibly lost a step. Like I told the other guy, take off the C/W glasses.

I tend to agree with that sentiment about Rick, but based on the rest of your post, you shouldn't be the one telling him he doesn't know what he's talking about. Don't take offense to that, you're just being biased.

If you've watched the NFL the past few years you would understand that teams are placing more and more value in versatile, explosive slot guys.

Percy Harvin, Randall Cobb, Tavon Austin, Dexter McCluster. All have been round 1-3 picks and all have enough versatility to do things like run the ball occasionally out of the backfield and field returns.

Christion Jones is cut from the same mold and I see him easily being a 2nd or 3rd round guy. Even Saban has alluded to the fact that the kid is good enough to play running back.

Oh I watch a lot of NFL games every week. I understand what they're doing. Jones isn't "explosive" in the mold of a guy like Harvin or Austin. They're very fast to go with their quickness. Christion is quick, good route runner, but he isn't that fast straight line, at least not right now. This year he looks significantly faster than last, maybe he makes more strides going into next year.

I'm sure he is, doesn't make him a top three round pick. I HOPE he is after his Senior season next year, but based off of what we've seen so far? You're jumping the gun a bit.

I guess you didn't hear Rickdaddy earlier. Moving the ball means more than scoring points.

---

Need said that. I said points don't automatically equate to being a good offense. I said having yards mean your offense is moving the ball. You can have 20 yards of offense and two tds. Doesn't mean your offense is great. That's what I said.

Out of Cooper's own fricking mouth.

I ran a 4.21. It's out of my mouth. Cooper ran a 4.57 coming out of high school. If you believe he actually runs a sub 4.4 , let's make a perms ban bet that he doesn't run in the 4.3's at the combine.

This whole thread is a clinic in people manipulating the use of statistics to try and prove their point of view. It's pretty entertaining.

---

I didn't manipulate stats. I used them. There is a difference. Bama posters talking about how elite their wr corp is when not one of them as elite stats. Not one. So saying bama has elite wr is based off of nothing but opinion.
You actually have bama posters in here saying bama has 4 wr that will be drafted in the first 3 rounds. And that Kenny bell could e a 1000 yards receiver.

And if you wanna inquire about other times, this is what I was told

quote:

---

White didn't run due to rehab, but ran a 4.39 last year. Cooper ran 4.41 last year and 4.38 this year. Yeldon ran 4.57 and Drake ran 4.40 this year.

quote:

Vinnie was 4.61

Collins is still sub 4.4, he turned in a 4.39.

I'm guessing none of those times are right to you, are they?
