We need someone experience at the position. it's a huge addition for us, because we need a big body on the field.

^^^^That

I guarantee Ridley is excited about it!

Yea, I'm sure Gehrig Jeter will be just fine.

If he's at the slot, then wow! I was hoping for a RB but this is fantastic.

Frees him up big time. I'm not sure how they'll double any of our WR.

Robert Foster comes back 100% with Ridley, Stewart, and Howard...then we have Dieter...this team is going to be a dream for a QB.

Alabama 2016 offense = air raid?

Exactly..One player I hope we see grow into his own & into that great player he has all the tools needed to is Derek Kief..

I agree 100% with ya my friend that our WR talent & depth is a College QB's dream come true..This coming seasons offense has the potential to put up numbers we've never witnessed at Bama with the sheer amount of potential & talent we have coming up(especially at QB)..

It's going to be fun to watching our Boys on both sides of the ball as we defend our NC & I have a sneaky feeling we will 2-Peat, with the possibilities of 3-Peat'ing, if our young QB grows into a great QB under Coach Kiffin the next 2yrs..Chances are that won't happen, but, with the way Coach Saban has "The Process" clicking..

We're in the best shape as any team could be to make it happen(there's no team in better "NC Run Type Shape" as Bama is right now) & yes my Bama Homer in me is coming through loud & proud..

Two straight 3000 yard passers...probably about the same as the last two years imo.

Offense will change... Won't be the same as this year. I seriously doubt we'll throw more, but I expect for this qb to have opportunity to make explosive plays more than often.

Air Raid + Bo Scarbrough wouldn't be fair!

Like this addition to the team. Excellent size and great productivity for Gehrig (love that first name). Our WR corp should be outstanding!

Just like you, I'm all over that first name.

he made some amazing catches last year

I'm not a big fan of the one handed catch, especially when it could've been done with two.

You think that could have been a two-handed catch?

Yup..He made an amazing catch most WR's would never make & I can't see how he could possibly got both hands on the ball to make a two handed catch..I could be wrong, but, that was either a one handed catch or no catch at all in-bounds anyways..

On a side note I was watching ESPN talking about WR's making more one handed catches now more than ever in the history of the game..They were saying they thought it was due to improved design & technology in the making of the gloves WR's wear now days, I dunno, I think it could be possible, but, I lean toward WR's are just stronger, faster & just more talented than WR's of yesteryear's..What do y'all think???..

I dunno. Lester Hayes could catch a ball with his elbows.

Actually, I think it's both TideMan. There's no doubt the equipment these guys have now is better than it's ever been, but I think you're right about the talent of these WR's is just better. Teams we play this year will have to pick their poison.
With Ridley,Foster,Stewart and OJ coming at you, somebody is going to be open. Also you got to worry about Bo running and catching! This is going to be fun to watch! RTR!
