Bills prospect LSU LB/S Jacoby Stevens
Bill from NYC replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In 2020, in the games against Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, he recorded 10 tackles, 11 assists, and .5 sacks. His team however allowed a combined 137 points in those 3 games. I'm not sure what to make (if anything) of these stats, and if I still had the LSU/Bama game on tape I would watch it to offer an opinion. -
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way

Have you studied Forristall yet? -
A Few Thoughts About The Alabama Draft Class.....
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am going to add 1 more..... Miller Forristall (TE): Miller is 6'4/240. He has had several injuries at Bama but you wouldn't know by the way he plays. The kid looks more like a young Robert Redford than a football player, but he runs head on into the biggest defenders on the field. He is a great blocker and he has very good hands. Although he didn't get many chances, I can't remember ever seeing him drop a pass, but maybe I just didn't notice. The thing is, he tended to be wide open, because look at who else had to be covered. That said, he would have got more chances on a lesser team to be certain. He WAS able to find the endzone at times. This is a player that the combines will make a difference with imo. I want to see lots of reps on the bench, and a half decent 40 time. Even at that, Miller is not a huge prospect. I have seen him going in the 5th, 6th, 7th, or not drafted at all. Do I think that he might be worth a 6th or 7th round pick? Yeah, why not. -
Jason Sanders new contract for Miami
Bill from NYC replied to Utah John's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That MAKES sense. It's only dumb when other teams do it. -
Could the Bills be looking to incorporate a Thug OL?
Bill from NYC replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am skeptical of Deonte. He weighed in at 364 in the Senior Bowl. Imo, one of the biggest leaps from college to the NFL is offensive line play. In college, a guy like Deonte can maul other kids and flatten them. In the NFL, every defender is strong and fast. Some of these guys would be past him before he gets out of his stance. Others would get him off balance and tip him over. Now, could he lose 30 or so pounds, get in better shape, and make an impact? I suppose but I'm not in a position to say. Meanwhile, as the poem says, "Visions of Mike Williams dance in my head." -

He barely played at first and was contemplating leaving the school. -

Derrick Henry is pretty good too. For years, Saban has preferred game managers as QBs, so it appears that Bama has less stars. That said, check out the WRs. -

Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
OK, but don't you think things have improved in that regard? There are stars from Alabama all over the league, let alone a udfa like Levi Wallace making a damn good living. There will always be a few players who go crazy when the get away from Saban., and fail. I get this, but; the situation has improved in recent years. -
Mcshay Mock has Najee Harris to Buffalo
Bill from NYC replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hopefully, the days of the Bills making stupid trades in which they get the short end of the stick are over. The Bills have a real GM now. -
Ike Boettger - went undrafted
Bill from NYC replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed. Interestingly, first round picks on guards historically seem to have a lower bust rate than many other positions. This is probably due to what you mentioned above imo. -
A Few Thoughts About The Alabama Draft Class.....
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When Coach Saban arrived at Alabama, the place was a mess. An absolute mess that he transformed into one of the greatest dynasties in all of sports. This is a coach that loses his coordinators and a slew of position coaches virtually every season. Coach Saban doesn't hire assistants for what they can bring to the team. He isn't as he says trying to "reinvent the wheel." He hires based on how they will fit into his system. The term "process" that Coach McDermott likes to stand on was invented a long ago by Coach Saban and was co opted by McDermott. It seems to be working rather well at that, no? I also remind you that Alabama is not like Hawaii or Southern California, with beautiful beaches and rich folks all over the place. Players come to Alabama to work, and a slew of them buy into the system, and get rich. It's working for us in Buffalo too. I like Coach McDermott and it is about time we had a highly capable coach. That said, fear not. If he should falter, Coach Saban would almost certainly give him an interview to be a coordinator. He already bought onto the "process." OK. Not so special players from all of the other schools come out and "dominate the pros." C'mon, seriously? -

It is a late pick and we need one but no, a first round running back is generally not my thing. Especially if he is a gadget player which Najee is not. -
Agreed and she should certainly be fired.

The student was 18. I know teacher/student is wrong, but an 18 year old ,male? I can see her getting fired but not sent to jail. Am I supposed to feel sorry for this kid? Maybe I'm just too old school.

A Few Thoughts About The Alabama Draft Class.....
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Josh is one of the hardest working players I have ever seen. He was a 3 star who barely made the Alabama team at the last minute. He is not too fast and not too big but look at what he has accomplished. At one point he was living in a car with his dad. Najee is another hard worker and as Gunner says above, would be an immediate impact player. I wouldn't shed a tear if we took him in round 1. -
A Few Thoughts About The Alabama Draft Class.....
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, a few posts back I talked a bit about Patrick Surtain. He is good but I expect him to be gone. And as you might have guessed, I do not want the Bills to draft another 1st round corner. -
A Few Thoughts About The Alabama Draft Class.....
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are correct. Surtain is a corner with very good size, strength and instincts. Had had his best and most consistent season this year. I have seen faster corners but he is obviously very talented. There does not seem to be an abundance of highly sought after corners this season, so he will be gone early. Gunner loves the kid, I like him but he will be gone way before we pick. I would say that this is a strong possibility. -

It really is close! Davonta has better hands no doubt. Jaylen is faster and even harder to cover imo. Jaylen is better on kick returns. They are both splendid players. -

Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Again, assuming 100% health I would lean towards Waddle for the Bills because of Allen's arm strength. For most teams I would want Davonta. Great description! Najee is great around the goal line too. He knows how to leave his feet and let the 230 pounds of momentum carry him -

People are generally not going to tell you the truth in that situation. -

When folks tell you that they had 2 shots or 2 drinks, you know what that usually means.
