The talent gap between Alabama and everyone else in football is sick. This is bordering on The U of the early 90s dominance.

Especially on defense. It's just scary how they can do it without one name who is the big key. Someone goes out another comes in.
Don't rebuild, reload

Feel bad for anyone who has to face that Alabama offensive line. Just a mismatch all over the map.

Eddie Lacy hasn't really impressed me so far; love that Yeldon kid though.

Lacy is a pinball. You cant take him down one on one.

Makes me slightly nauseated to say it, but it looks like freaking LSU is the only team I have seen so far that has a Dline that could challenge Bamas oline. If we have a damn rematch of last years championship game the SEC people will absolutely insufferable.

Well...non-SEC people just need their teams to man up

Bell versus Te'o. This should be a very good game. (prospect wise, i mean) Let's see how Gholston looks in prime time as well.

Round 1 - Teo and ND

Gholston still just kinda meh. Nothing spectacular. Michael Johnson 2.0

Small but dangerous, I like him at safety.

[Orange and Black Attack]

Le'veon Bell is just on another level.

8 and 9 men in the box all night and Bell still managed to put on a show. Very impressive. Did Gholston even have a pressure?

I dont think he did...or at least one that wasnt a coverage pressure.

Brian Leonard's level.

SC vs Mizzou:

Has Spurrier forgotten about Lattimore?

*edit* And there he is for a TD.

**edit 2** I spoke much too soon. another TD.

I was really down on Lattimore in the offseason, but it really looks like his burst is coming back very well.

Probably. Spurrier is overrated as ****.
Or he is actually not trying to ruin Lattimore.

[Orange and Black Attack]

Not 2012 related; 2013 related.

LSU vs Auburn.

Sam Montgomery is fast as hell. Like rocket fast off the snap.

Corey Lemonier outstanding pass rusher, not so much against the run.

Jadeveon Clowney? I'd be surprised to see him anywhere other than the first overall pick the year he comes out. They say JPP is athletic? Clowney could be on another level.

Watkins/Clowney will headline 2014 NFL Draft.

[HellMarine]

Ifo Ekpre Olomu is having a dominant game against a solid Arizona passing game. Three deflections, two picks with a pick six.

I really like Lamarcus Joyners from FSU's game. We need help at safety. He covers better than most corners and really comes up and competes in the run game even though he is a little on the small side. Bob Sanders-ish but without the senseless recklessness of his own body. Returns kicks pretty good too. He is only a Junior though. So not sure if he will declare.

Yeah, I remember hearing the South Carolina coaching staff say that Clowney made a lot of mistakes in his rookie season (obviously), and that he could have been a lot better. When a rookie collects 8.0 sacks, and the coaches think he's a lot better than that, you've got a stud.

Watkins is phenomenal, no doubt, but Clowney has the potential to be a once in a generation type of player.

Sell everything for him.
He would probably start for most teams in the NFL right now

Cave is currently playing for Notre Dame, as is Jones the Center for Alabama (on storm delay).

Topics: Do we need to address the Center position in the draft?

Currently, I can only think of a 3 Centers that I even like. What do you think about taking a flyer on another top OG like Warmack and moving Boling to C?

I am also watching RB Taylor vs. Te'o. I think Taylor is looking great. I think he will beat his 3rd round grade.

Terrible idea about moving Boling.
He is a guy who wins with skill and technique. He would get abused by the NT of the 3-4 with him right over him.
Also, not impressed by Taylor really.

Montee Ball finally gets an ounce of blocking and goes 29 carries for 247 yards and 3 tds. Showed off that hop cut like Tomlinson had now that he waan't being tattooed in the back field every play.
