Todd needs to stfu until feb 7th, when the deadline to withdraw from the draft comes.

With NIL I am not sure how getting "paid to play" would impact on him being able to play CFB any longer, but this week he is officially being paid to play in the senior bowl so he is officially a professional athlete.

The realy cool thing about Seattleright now is that Mount St Helens has been closed to visitors because of the magma moving so much under the volcano and the northern side (toward Seattle) is bulging. The last time it did this was 1980. They could have some awsone views just before a 60,000 foot ash cloud starts to fall on them.

I think I would skip the views and get out of town just in case.

If the OL is heavier and lacks the agility to function in the preferred offense structure, there is an issue before they get on the field. If the OL is attempting to block in space when they are built to be road graders, they are opened up for shoulder and lower leg injuries at a higher rate. They are reaching where their arms/legs are not aligned properly for impact and change of direction.

If the line does not have the speed and agility to block the designed system, they tend to start cheating in their stance to help get to where they need to be more quickly. That shows up in film and the DC and players have play clues to adjust based on prior to the snap.

If the QB is giving clues as to run or pass before the snap, the DC and players can have pregame adjustments set to take away/disrupt the planned plays.

If the QB is only capable of certain types of plays, the others can be ignored. The DC and players can force the QB into actions that the QB is not good at doing.

If the QB tends to keep the ball instead of read the mesh point, the DC and players can "cheat" their reactions toward what they know is the likely choice the QB will make.

The RB is no longer a true running threat. A read option is no longer a threat to make the DL chose between a give or a QB run. The WR are no longer able to use a full route tree and the DB's can funnle them into tighter windows. The WR can be pressed at the LOS and pushed off of the routes needed to mach what the QB can do. DB's can key on shorter area moves the WR would normally be ready to make and get to the catch mesh point at the same time as the WR.

90+% of the offensive issues come down to a QB that cannot function and an OL by lack of agility that cannot do what the preferred play call for.. The the defense knows what the offense is going to do before the snap and is quicker than the OL because they know what is coming.

Does any of that sound familiar to what we all saw on the field?

Any one have any info on where we stand on the 85 number and has this figure been changed by the NCAA.

Curent looks to be at 86

I think the new number for players on the roster is 105 but that is all players and the 85 rule is gone. We may be able to add as many as 19 more players.

We know what CKD says he saw in Milroe's eyes but the real question is what was actually in Milroe's eyes?

8 times a WR was open and would have scored if Milroe could have hit him in stride or even seen him.

3 times a WR would have likely made a big play we needed but Milroe led the WR out of bounds chasing the ball.

5 time a WR was open on a deep over route the the QB did not see him plus 1 time the over route was open and the throw was nowhere near the WR.

At least 13 times a WR was running wide open but the QB did not see him

2 time the WR was open on the right sideline (out and up) for a TD or long gain and the QB over threw the pass by more than just a little.

1 time the pass should never have been thrown resulting in an interception

2 times the throw was late and trailing and should have been intercepted but Michigan did not make the catch

But Milroe had fight in his eyes...who was he fighting for?

He garnered a lot of buzz in spring a fall camps from upper-classmen.

Very true. He even played a good bit early in the year until OC's started attacking his lack of speed. At that point his time on the field was replaced by Hubbard even before Sabb was hurt.

Alabama top 10 list...

What we know about them is that all except #1 on that list compare reasonably well with Prentice, E-man, and Hurley. Prentice ended up at Baylor while E-man and Hurley ended up at Kansas. So we "missed out" on 8 or 9 kids that likely would transfer to another but lower teir school. Is that really a miss?

Bama would have gotten a buyout from Texas.

You might want to go back and check out Saban's contract...there was no buyout if he chose to walk.

There are three primary types of inteligence. There is recall (what), there is active (how), and there is analytical (why) . Recall is ofen referred to as book sense, the ability to memorize what the professor wants regurgitated on the test. Today's education system is for the most part, set up to reward recall. Active is often called common sense or intuitive, understanding based on experience and application. Then there is analytical, logical or abstract reasoning, the application of foundational knowledge to understand something beyond what was specifically taught.

Milroe tends to present recall but appears to be lacking in active and analytical. While he may know the what, he is not great at the how or why.
