Tommy Moffit Says Tyler Shelvin Is Lightest He’s Been Since His Freshman Year Of HS

Great news more food for Mike the Tiger on the buffet line with Shelvin cutting back on the grub. Shelvin this is his money year the NG for Bama made a name for himself in one year.

Hopefully this make for a more penetrating defensive line. You can't be poor in run defense AND not get any pass rush.

All that fat Shelvin lost was given to Clay because he served it up to LaTech.

Got ‘em on dat no rice in the gumbo diet.

so he's around 320?

Ika is going to be a stud. The only thing I see with him is his strength needs to improve and it eventually will. As Deculus destroyed him in the Big Cat drill. Too bad Deculus plays right tackle because he is a pro prospect all day long at guard. While Shelvin, who is now in his third year in the program, went up against Damian Lewis and actually pushed him back a couple of steps before Lewis regained his footing and pushed back a little, but overall, although it was very close, I thought Shelvin won that battle. Then Saddiq Charles went up against Glen Logan and completely pancaked Glen Logan flat on his back. Anyway, I think overall the offensive line will be quite a bit better than last season. As both Charles and Deculus look much quicker. Will they be all SEC quality? I doubt it. Nonetheless, the beauty of the new RPO plays is the offensive line run-blocks, as opposed to pass-blocks, and our offensive line last season was far better at run-blocking than it was at pass-blocking. Plus the ball gets out to the receivers a lot quicker as well. Hence, regardless of how bad or how good the offensive line is, I feel like the offense will be significantly improved this season relative to last season due to the new RPO plays and because of what should be a very significant upgrade in the run game.

You know that you have some big ole boys on the line when your two nose tackles are on a weight loss program.

It's not clear what this means. Did he go from 362 to 302? Or was he 400+ and is now down to 362? I recall him being like 380 or 390 when we signed him so maybe it's somewhere in between and he's in the 330-340 range now. Anyone know?

They need the weight loss as well as conditioning for endurance in the long drives especially with the hurry-up offenses of today. With the 3-4 defenses we can expect to see some double teams of the NG by C-G combos. Our NGs will have to keep their motor running at a high level with those 300+ OL leaning on them if they can't break free. And with the NCAA throwing less and less holding flags our NGs will have to find a way to get off the block.

So he was 400 and now 340

this also shows a good work ethic

310 probably feels like feather weight to him now

Looking for Shelvin to wreck things in the middle, at the point of attack. Hope he and Ika excel so Lawrence and Fehoko can play mostly at DE. GT!

Pic or it didn’t happen.

Notre Dame High School in Lafayette, La Crowley*

Beneficial for the both of them in a bunch of ways. Kardell Thomas probably should get the same program.
