Alabama's defense looks like it will be a terror again this year.

I read somewhere on ESPN that USC is trying to focus more on the power running game....

good luck with that.

So they overlooked him because of that but were ok with Mathieu? No flame, just trying to understand the logic.

Tim Williams


Best pure pass rusher I've seen at Alabama. Not old enough to remember DT- obviously few that have ever lived have been on his level, but Tim Williams plays like a savage. He's listed at 237 in the media guide, but told reporters last year during the playoffs that he weighs 260. Just a monster. He is going to command double teams

Aggie LT returns. Our problem is our QB went colorblind against you.

Tim Williams is going to have one of the most incredibly disappointing seasons for a Bama player in recent memory. Y'all have such a lofty opinion of a guy that only played on third and longs that its almost comical.

No. They cut Mathieu. They didn't overlook it.

I'm not saying that's so about Williams, BTW. I like seeing a Louisiana guy doing well, and will root for Williams except for one week.

Which frees up Ryan Anderson on the other edge. Or Rashaan Evans. Or Jon Allen. Or Da'Shawn Hand.

He was the most efficient pass rusher in the entire country a year ago. You're mad as hell he plays for Alabama.

Why would Les let a little pot smoking get in the way of hauling in a stud?

Pretty sure Mathieu never had a problem while in high school. Or if so, I don't remember it. Much easier to not just not recruit a guy than to kick a guy off the team... Which by the way, Mathieu was kicked off the team eventually. Just took multiple drug tests to fail.

There won't be any disappointment from the unit as a whole. Any lack of numbers on Williams' part will be because he was double teamed and his teammates got the benefit.

Thats what I'm getting at. Don't be surprised at all when his sack total is lower despite playing more.

Only if they are as bad as Bama's LT Saturday. Slow and bad feet.

You watched Alabama's scrimmage?

Yeah, the backup ain't quite to the point where he is Cam Robinson material. Thank goodness Cam will be back to full speed in time for fall camp.

Meh. Cam Robinson was out all spring. Korren Kirvin filled in. He's a RT by nature. Plus, spring scrimmages don't usually game plan to stop a pass rusher with extra blockers or chipping. But they eventually had to.

If he simply keeps doing what he has been doing, we won't be disappointed. We know he is a pass rush specialist. In fact he was the most efficient pass rusher in the entire country last year, with a ridiculously high percentage of his snaps resulting in a sack or quarterback pressure. He probably did his job better than just about anyone on the team last year.

We shall see if he can become a more well rounded player and see the field more. If not, and he just continues to absolutely wreak havoc on passing downs, that will be good too.

We didn't have our top 5 left tackle against you all last year either. Greg Little will make him his baby back bitch
