That's going to be an issue. WRs and TEs are going to have to fight for it. I'm not sure there are many options for the offense this year.

We had multiple blowouts, poor clock management, and the penalty issues are still there. I'm not sure you can just jump straight to well coached. It wasn't the first time they finished 9-7, but it was the weakest year for the AFC. They grabbed two offensive linemen and they were both rated as the worst or bottom tier for their position. Dawkins was the one guy I was sure of and he got pushed around like a little boy last game. The DT they paid to stop the run has graded out poorly against the run since his rookie season and hasn't looked impressive at all. It's not a great situation for a very young basically OLB trying to learn to play MLB in the NFL. There is no depth behind what little talent we have, so it's going to be a rough year. They should hire a therapist just for Incognito and kick the tires on him again. At least Dawkins Incognito and Groy would give Shady one side to run to.

Peterman excels at quick short timing routes and most of the WRs are slot guys. It might just work for a little while.

It should end here, but it won't lol.

Edge rusher doesn't do us much good when teams can just repeatedly run right and get big yardage. That game, preseason or not, looks too much like the other post Dareus games. I miss the Schwartz defense.

Not for nothing, but they did take out their starting DEs before Allen came in. He did look good though. Rosen is just more polished. Damn, what happened to NOs line? The Cardinals are like the worst rated and they just handled them easy. He did complete a strike the first game with a guy holding his legs. His line in college was one of the worst and he still had top tier stats, so I'm not sure this is going to hold true. Darnold to me looks like he will struggle in that situation.

Shaq isn't going to live up to that first round grade or become the pass rusher he never was, but he is a very serviceable end who can set the edge. That's important when Hughes is just as likely to try to spin inside and lose contain. We gearing up to get gashed by the run again.

I would like to see him against some first team defense first. Last night probably would've been the best opportunity with the talent on their line. It's all going to change when defenses start to scheme and confuse him like the sack last night.

If your definition of **** show is top rated I guess. He still has things to work out and I don't think those first six games are the time for it. It's all starters out there at that point. Do you think his stats would be the same last night with their DEs still in? I doubt it, and that's not a knock on him. Dawkins looked like he was scared.

The Eagles had the top rated line in 2016. That's what I'm focusing on here. Not the whole team.

Can you think of an example where this worked out? I don't really want a David Carr situation. We couldn't even get a hand on Chargers rushers last year and the line is worse now. When he ran up the middle and the defender took him out at the knee I thought it was over.

Quick decision and release. That's basically the only way any of our QBs will survive this year.

That's probably going to be the case all season. He is holding the ball a lot longer than the other two.

You missed a whole thread basically dedicated to this lol.

I agree that there is a ton of time to develop, but I seriously doubt he ever becomes a big hitter. He did that same thing through college and he is big enough for it to work. I still think we need a Spikes type with him on the field.

He is a OLB being forced into the MLB. Pysicality was a big knock against him in college. We really need a thumper like Spikes for that run.

Hasn't been good since his rookie season. He was rated really poorly last year.

And so it begins....

You did though. You said that with his UA degree he could probably get a job with NASA because they like UA. That insinuated that for some reason a UA degree was some highly regarded thing. I then showed you where the program, not elite subsets but the whole program, wasn't ranked very highly and you continued. UB won a cyber security competition so that means they are better than MIT right? You do this on every single post that has anything to do with Alabama. His degree was not in engineering, so it's a moot point.

You can keep posting competitions where small subsets of elite students participate, or we can just go with the fact that Georgia Tech is ranked top 20 in the world for engineering. https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2018/subject-ranking/engineering-and-IT#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/engineering?page=2 Please just get over the fact that Alabama is not some Ivy League quality school. It admits over half of the applicants and you're never going to convince non-homer Bama folks. You can't even get to BAM on this board before you post some homer nonsense. This is a Bills forum and not some Roll Tide hang out.

One competition where a super small subset of students scored higher. Do you even know what the parameters of the competition were? How bout all the other thousands of engineering competitions? Spin it however you want, but Georgia Techs programs rank in the top 5 or 10 and Alabama isn't close. https://coe.gatech.edu/news/georgia-tech-wins-top-honors-formula-hybrid-competition https://coe.gatech.edu/rankings-and-stats

This is 2018 folks. It's now a badge of honor to be uniformed because you disagree with the facts. 400yds in 4 years at Alabama and you're still sitting here talking about him like a future HOF candidate.

It's definitely higher rated by a long shot. Georgia Tech is smaller and considerably harder to get into. I would assume that it's tech based and engineering programs were much better too. Alabama is a good school, but you're greatly overvaluing it.

https://www.collegefactual.com/majors/engineering/aerospace-and-aeronautical-engineering/rankings/top-ranked/p3.html https://www.university-list.net/us/rank/univ-1036.htm Top 50ish maybe for that program. Auburn is a much better school, and that's not even ranked highly. The university itself is only like 260th in the nation according to Forbes.

It's Bama....
