Don't forget Raekwon Davis

 

Alabama football: Can Raekwon Davis become best Tide D-lineman ever?

 

 

 

"TUSCALOOSA — There’s Raekwon Davis — and everybody else.

“Raekwon is just a different human,” Alabama third-year sophomore defensive lineman Quinnen Williams said. “He's so huge and he's so athletic. To be that big and that strong and never get tired.”

He’s 6 feet, 7 inches tall, 316 pounds, has very long arms and can be a complete nightmare to block. "

Are you now glad that Beane didn't give up two 1sts for Mack?

Mostly a very impressive win, all things considered, the offseason and a long weather delay....

 

never had a weather matter for a football game in all my years. While driving to a 3:30 game in East Lansing, a noon game in Ann Arbor had cleared the stadium for a hurricane or tornado.

They gave up too many points on defense, which I can somewhat excuse as they were missing their best safety, starting MLB, and had no film on this offense. Still, the defensive front is straight nasty but everyone else has a ton of work to do.

Bosa had two FR, a sack and a TD in the first half of the season.

Back end looked very 2013 to me.

Thought the same... hopefully they tighten up fast but the loss of Coombs might be evident

*1.5 first half sacks

If Bosa is out all year , how far does he fall down the draft board?

 

since we aren't getting the top pick maybe we can get him farther down.

Got to play with this Great Dane before the game Saturday. Turned out to be Ed Oliver's dog, named Houston.

He’s not out all year. Urban said he expects him back in a few weeks. The average return from this surgery is 58 days. I still maintain they will wait until after the bye week on 11/3.

 

if he doesn’t play again for OSU it will be by choice. As in, if the Bucks are out if the playoff when he’s cleared and he sees it as unnecessary risk. And I do not think he will drop out of the top 3. 

 

Either way i don’t see him making that choice. His brother was expected to be a top 5 pick, and played in their meaningless bowl game that year.

Guess we aren't getting him then

Bosa’s Dad chimes in and it’s as we expected

It’s possible he doesn’t play again for Ohio State but I do not think he will drop out of the top 3. I think he could have come out last year and gone top 10. He’s that refined as a pass rusher.  I’m not sure where the Bills are drafting so it’s possible they could get them.

So glad that Allen put a big dent in our Oliver/Bosa hopes on 9/23 in Minnesota.

 

Here's to the middle rounds!  Who's with me?!??!?!?
