I would stay right where I'm at and fish the canals. Probably have better catch probability in tight water on peacock bass

I don't know if anyone is sleeping on him. I suspect he'll play a bunch when Lee needs a breather and is competing for that third CB spot

I don't know how Wommack will keep him off the field. He's a physical player that just ends up around the football consistently. He's not a guy I'd trust over and over in man on a tight end or slot receiver, but he's got all the instincts to play rat/robber coverage

How do you rank these RB's in half PPR (mid 1 early 2 tier)

Jonathan Taylor- Pro- in his prime and arguably the best back in football from a measurable standpoint. Con- doesn't catch the ball much and has awful stat splits in wins and losses
James Cook- Pro- Best weapon on a really good offense. Con- Allen vultures a lot of goal line touchdowns
Devon Achane- Pro- arguably the most dynamic player in the league. Con- probably the worst team in the league and despite the relatively clean bill of health the last two years, still 190 pounds
Chase Brown- Pro- Should be one of the highest scoring offenses in the league and catches the ball well. Con- is 5 receiving touchdowns repeatable?
Derrick Henry- Pro- from another planet. Con- Coaching staff tends to forget that
Saquon Barkley- Pro- In the Taylor tier as far as measurables go, no more AJB crying for the football. Con- Hurts stealing touchdowns, mystery on how well the eagles perform under yet another new coordinator
Ashton Jeanty- Pro- Opportunity. Con- Team should suck again

False. They just aren't being scheduled strictly on week 1 anymore.
Oklahoma and Michigan play in week 2
Ohio State and Texas play in week 2
Alabama plays Florida State in week 3 this year, Ohio State in week 3 next year, and Ohio State in week 2 in 2028
re: What is your first Game memory of watching Alabama Football?
Posted by Riseupfromtherubble on 8/19/26 at 10:11 am to Lordofwrath88
The games of my childhood sort of run together so I can't really recall which one was first. As far as live games go, I recall watching us play Houston, Bowling Green, Southern Miss in what would have been the 1995-1998 time frame
I think my earliest memory period was us losing 20-19 to Arkansas in 1995. I recall exactly where I was for that one, and can't say the same for any from the 1994 season. I would've been 6 years old

re: Picking from the 8th spot
Posted by Riseupfromtherubble on 8/18/26 at 2:52 pm to lsuhal29
I'm picking 6th and all my mocks have me going RB/RB/BPA- and in some cases BPA is a third running back
Just a lot more WR value in rounds 3-5. I feel better about a WR1 coming out of round 3-6 than I do about a RB1 coming out of 3-6
At 8 you could end up with 2 of Taylor, Barkley, Achane, Brown and still end up with a Olave, Egbuka, Smith, Pickens, Nabers
I also think if you aren't the guy paying up for Josh Allen then you're better off waiting until your 2nd or 3rd last pick on QB. Not enough variance between 3 and 13 there for me anymore

Aaron was talking about how good Crowell looks.
I've been on the Crowell train since he was in high school, but I'm taking all camp intel with a grain of salt.
There was conflicting reports from guys at the last scrimmage on which QB performed better. This time last year Rico Scott was a not so secret weapon, etc etc.
"inside info" always gets passed on through the lens of the observers, and observers have biases.

I'm trying to think about what the equivalent to this would be in modern terms.
Imagine we are storming the beaches of Normandy and there's a lone German soldier perched 1,000 yards away on a hilltop. He begins pointing at the sky and 1 by 1, lightning bolts start striking down your frontline with surgical precision.
I have to imagine that panic ensues. Now multiply that 10X
You're talking about a technology that was not approaching fathomable in the ~340 BC time frame. When they started dropping dead from an invisible projectile they all would have suspected that they were going into battle against a deity, and more men would have died in the ensuing stampede of a retreat, from the bootheels of their fellow soldiers, than by the bullets of the modern rifle.

The program has lost 8 games in the last two years.
LSU being above us is laughable considering we've abused them for years, but the last memory voters have of Alabama is getting bitch slapped by Indiana and not bringing in a single "big" name in the portal.
Also, who gives a shite. The AP poll carries as much weight as the SECrant.com poll

probably a team with QB experience -
History is not a great indicator of that.
Let us go all the way back in time to 2025.
Georgia and Alabama played in the SEC championship. Both had new starting quarterbacks
Ole Miss went furthest in the playoff- new starting QB
That line of thinking is why Clemson, Penn State, and LSU started preseason top 5 last year. "experience" is overrated at that position in college football. The sport has been dumbed down considerably. The kids are coming into college with thousands and thousands of 7 on 7 reps. It's just way down the list of shite that matters

What Bill Snyder did at Kansas State is the greatest coaching job in college football history imo.
I think Bobby Bowden belongs in that conversation. FSU had a .534 winning percentage prior to Bowden taking over. They were 4-29 in the 3 years preceding his hire. He might not have started as low as Snyder at KSU, but he did reach heights that Snyder never did. 15 straight AP top 5 finishes is one of the most remarkable feats in the history of the sport.

I think the best odds are him staying in the NFL in 2007. The only other prestigious job opening was at Miami, and I can’t see him just hopping across town.
If he had another down year in 2007 he could have looked to get back in 2008. Auburn had an opening that year.
