Amarillo Tide

Hopefully the blocking by the WRs will be more consistent this Fall. Very erratic last year. That’s just the truth.

Iowa State has been a decent team particularly since Matt Campbell became the HC. Not a GREAT team but scrappy and Campbell gets the most out of what he has to work with there. I'd love to see this kid sign with Bama but I'd understand if he wants to be THE MAN immediately and signed with Iowa State.

I know it's not where you start or even where you are now as compared to NSD but holy cow, we're badly lagging behind other schools in terms of number of recruits. According to 247sports, we're currently ranked #52 (?!).

Not panicked but it IS concerning.

Someone had said there’s no way he’s 6’3” but he kind of looks like he’s that height to me.

Me personally, I prefer some modesty and not saying too much off the field but he's a grown assed man. I'm not his old man and I'm not paying his NIL money, so I figure he can say pretty much whatever he wants.

I will say, I hope he and the team are ready to back up the comments on Vanderbilt. Not saying I'm "afraid" of Vanderbilt but clearly, you cannot take any team for granted. My hope is Bama beats the living dog doo doo out of them and Diego Pavia can barely walk by the time to clock reads zero.

Of course, it helps not having Radio as the QB this year.

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

Seriously, how the hell are Christian Leary and Roydell Williams still playing? They must be in year 8 of playing.

I know the competition might be a bit suspect but his size and athleticism are undeniable.

Bummer :confused:

I think barring a rash of injuries, the defense should be good, maybe even great due to the fact there are a lot of guys who are returning who played a lot last year and/or have been at Bama for 3-4 years already, plus last year, there was a bit of a learning curve with a new staff/new scheme. Guys should have a good understanding of what's going on and what to do this year.

The stats for the defense last year were a bit misleading. Last year's erratic/inconsistent offense and Milroe's tendency to make back breaking mistakes and put the defense in a terrible spot way too many times. I may be wrong but I believe the offense will be much more consistent and not nearly as prone to turning the ball over this year.

I agree about better production at the edge position. Russaw showed flashes but he was dinged up a good bit last year. I'm hoping Yonzae Pierre will massively step up. He played a fair amount last year and should be a little bigger/faster this year.

Finally, who the hell down voted you for your post? I'm always amazed at how hyper sensitive some people are on here. It's not like you called their mother a hooker. :rolleyes:
