re: Kiper's 2013 Big Board - Mingo #3, Sam #5

McCarron got rid of it quickly because we had our CB 'The Honeybadger' covering their recievers too much! I guess we can't have two Elite NFL shutdown, top 5 picks, type of corners forever as in Claiborne and Petterson. With Ty having an expanded role this year should we get used to it?

Nahh.

Seriously though, one cannot diss Chavis right now.

His system will get tested against Bama and maybe one to two other teams a year. By that I mean, our defensive system is set-up better to shut-down the other 98% of colleges out there from Oregon- Oklahoma St.- texas AM- Arkansas.

Alabama's system is suited more to play a team like LSU, Georgia, or itself. They will match-up well with the teams that are big and strong enough to try and slam the ball right up-field. Problem is that the majority of the teams in college football don't try and do this anymore.

I'll take our style for now. There was once a time, a few years back, that our defenses were as dominate as bama now (same coach). But those teams seemed more succeptable to loosing to offenses like OK State's. our defense now, can spread out and kill all these clown-teams.

As for Bama. Well I have noticed that we return the best stable of running backs in the nation, an upgrade at quarterback, and an offensive line that touts BOTH GUARDS AND BOTH TACKLES BEING AT LEAST 6'5" AND 320LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let's get it on.
