Very good observations - saw the same. His energy was infectious and was a totally unselfish team player. Really looking forward to watching him play and pulling for him. As you noted, he has a good shot.

I believe you have to last at least five years in the league to get an NFL pension.

I just checked, should have before I posted - it's 3 NFL credited (3 or more games on a roster) seasons. Darby made it, had 3 seasons, with 10, 14, 16 games played, 1 more season with 1 one game played but could have been on the roster for more games), so congrats to him. Made my day.

Thanks for the answer - made me look.

Kenny Darby? Is it possible for a WR to go up the middle for 2 yards?

If he could be 2 yards with that OL, even with Alabama's current mediocre OL, he could get at least 5.

He averaged 4.3 ypc on 95 carries in 3 seasons in the NFL. Hope 3 years gave him some kind of pension and/or healthcare. Still remember how he would pull his mother like a horse and plow to strengthen his legs when he was a boy dreaming of playing, I think, for Alabama. I think of him from time to time. Hope he's doing well.

A concern with TS from watching HS and Alabama clips is a strong tendency to bail too quickly or occasionally freeze in the face of the rush.

Also, concerned about the DeBoer/Grubb O needing a strong arm, not necessarily for bombs but throwing on a line on outs, corners, etc.

I have no inside info but it seems almost certain that Alabama has more than enough NIL to make a large offer to someone; but it’s possible that Oats smelled a “mercenary” who was cravenly using his late-game leverage, thus he didn’t want him. In his most recent comments he made it clear that any addition had to be a “good kid” and fit. The guess is the kid didn’t meet either of those criteria.

I personally preferred Jones especially because of his “dog” approach and his play-making abilities. But that doesn’t seem imminent or likely either. But Nate said he liked this team as-is. There are shooters and length everywhere.

One last thing: He saw how difficult trying to give meaningful minutes to 10-11 players was this past season. It causes multiple issues.

Good assessment, happens all of the time.

“It’s perfectly reasonable” to assume you are a troll. You’ve been here 6 months and all you’ve done is slam the program, cast doubt about it or offer faint praise. Hopefully, you will be ignored from hence forward.

Can’t find anything on the game. Even checked rolltide.com & Al.com. Was it postponed? Help.

Would someone please update the title line SEC record from 6-8 to the correct record of 7-8?

Thank you
