re: Starting DE's?

3-4 DE = great DT

Love that KC Chiefs reasoning. so be fair brockers is a lot better than expected, and there is no guarantee that Sentimore would be starting at DT here.

Also you question the experience of our ends while hailing a RS freshmen for starting at bama at a position he wouldn't have played at lsu
.
Also he is 261 lbs. so yeah i would still take davenport. OUR dts will be fine people need t chill out

I'm down with this thread...Phelon Jones is co-backup at one corner at Bama while we have some no-name freshman named Tyrone Matthews that no one has ever heard of. Kenny Bell is on the 3-deep at Bama while we're trying to work with some reject from Florida, Daniel Boone or some shite...

Luther Davis and Darrington Sentimore?

Check the depth chart again. I think you read it wrong.

He's a senior. With 26 total tackles in 3 years.

BOOM. I love it when dumbasses try and rag on the coaching staff for recruiting/coaching etc...then get blown up. Davis is a senior and 26 total tackles huh. Sounds like we lost a lot. The other kid may do well, but wouldn't trade adams or montgomery for him, and for that matter mingo. As for DT's...which isn't even what this thread started as. Nevis could have a huge year.....and from everything I'm hearing, Brockers is the real deal...so to say these guys are better is ridiculous...but typical. As far as not having a scholly for sentimore...that is bs.

Davis has never amounted to anything, so no loss there.




Isn't he a sophomore. Behind NFL-caliber starting linemen?

Luther Davis is a SENIOR.

James Wright, our top prospect at WR, made the depth chart as the 4th receiver, behind sophomores Rueben Randle and Russell Shepard. Kenny who???

Phelon who???
Here is what Rivals scouts and others thought of Tyrann Mathieu who is considered by some as the best pure cover corner coming out of high school:

Mike Ferrell of Rivals:

Mathieu was arguably the story of the event as he came out of nowhere to dominate the one-on-ones. He has such a smooth backpedal, great hips and surprising burst, but it's his closing speed and ability to get his head around and make plays on the ball that separates him from the best. Small wide receivers couldn't run past him and he handled bigger guys with his athleticism, hops and instincts. He isn't the biggest kid, but as a cover corner he had an amazing day.

Barton Simmons of Rivals:

Tyrann Mathieu out of New Orleans (La.) St. Augustine put together one of the best pure coverage performances of the spring or early summer in Knoxville.

During the morning session, Mathieu began to separate himself during one-on-ones and 7-on-7 drills by blanketing every receiver he faced. He went on to show remarkable hips in position work and the most fluid natural movement that you could ask for out of a cornerback.

By the afternoon session, Mathieu was being called out by every coach or wide receiver that wanted a challenge. Even while taking the best shot from the best receivers in attendance, Mathieu won almost every rep. In a drill in which the defense is at a major disadvantage, breakups and pure stops are hard to come by but those plays became routine for Mathieu.

but those plays became routine for Mathieu.

Brent Hubbs of VolQuest:

Halfway through Tuesday's camp, the buzz was growing. Who was the guy in the purple shorts playing cornerback. Other campers didn't know his name, so they just starting saying that he was "the truth" or "the real deal". With each rep, the audience watching New Orleans defensive back Tyrann Mathieu was growing.

And the audience got a full show as Mathieu excelled all afternoon and got every rep possible even jumping to the front of the line at times.

James Bryant of Scout:

There is always a surprise or two at every college summer football camp. Someone who everyone isn’t expecting to standout, does. It gives every prospect the opportunity to prove themselves if they have a good day. That’s exactly what happen for New Orleans St. Augustine defensive back Tyrann Mathieu.

Unknown video commentator:

He's got that it-factor about him, confidence, and speed to be a very good cornerback in college football.
