I’ve read this as well. I believe the source was the guy from the village that saved his arse.

I’ve also read that the team (I think it was Delta?) that went in to retrieve the bodies of the fallen SEALs said that there were few, if any, deceased enemy combatants.

Offseason boredom catching hold. Curious what people think of the defense this upcoming year. The ILBs are a bit of a question for me with Lawson’s injury. I expect the secondary to be really damn good (and Deep) - best in the conference.

The defensive front intrigues me the most. We have a lot of guys in that room with unique skills sets. It sounds like we have ridiculous depth at Bandit with Overton, Renaud, and then Collins/Keeley. The interior is somewhat of a question mark behind Keenan and Smith. If Smith becomes the game-wrecker that we think he will be, and Beamen steps up and provides consistent disruption, our defense could very well be championship caliber. I also think Edric Hill might surprise some people this year.

As for the Wolf position; we need some seriously efficient pass rushing from these guys. We assume Russaw makes that next step in his game, but I think Pierre is a sleeper to get major playing time and have a huge impact. The interesting thing here at the Wolf position is we now have veteran Jah Marien Latham moving to this group. Lots of competition for snaps within that group (haven’t even mentioned Justin Hill who has received some praise this Spring).

Interested to hear the boards’ thoughts on this side of the ball.

The second part is a big “IF”. Not saying he can’t do it, but I’d be surprised if he can manage the mental side of the game/position at such an early point in his career - not many can.

This post has to be directed at CollegeFBRules Lmao.. “Trump owes me an explanation of his intent!!!”

Condon never looks to the rim when he gets the ball in the paint. Never.

TD Alabama reporting that Ty Simpson, Tim Keenan, Qua Russaw, LT Overton and Kadyn Proctor have been selected for the team’s leadership group this Spring.

ETA some thoughts: Qua being selected is a little surprising to me but good for him - I like it; he seems like a dawg. I like that 2 upperclassmen DL are on it - the big boys need to hold people accountable and chew arse/get in faces as needed. Really hope that Proctor has a big year, for the good of both the individual and the team. Finally, I’m curious to see how Ty has developed as a leader and a field general. The last two years, it never felt like we had someone under center who could consistently take command of the offense or a game (unless we were playing LSU lol) when it got into crunch time.

Any scrimmage goers care to post some insights? Tia

Anyone know if practice today was completely closed off to media? Usually there’s some footage.

And what are our thoughts on Jah Latham moving to Wolf? This a move to get bigger up front against run-heavy teams or more so because we have too much talent at Bandit that we want to get on the field (or both)? Curious if this has been addressed by Womack and/or Latham yet.

Beaman is a big ol’ boy. He’s got some serious quickness to him too. Since about mid way through last year, he’s been one of my candidates to have a really big/breakout year this upcoming season. Crazy he’s put on 50 lbs in ~12 months and has stayed relatively lean.

Being a former SDE in HS, I imagine he’s got crazy high upside as an interior pass rusher. However, we need him to perform at a very high level in defending the run given the loss of Damon Payne, who actually was a stud against the ground game last year when spelling Tim Keenan.

I’m very optimistic about our defensive front this year (though I’ve said this every year since 2015, expecting all of our DL units every year to match what was done from 2015-2017 lmao).
