In case this guy does not understand shadows, they are usually behind the actual person in a closed stadium; just sayin.
Heh heh I would love to see that but I'll take half a hundred if that's all we can hang on em.Also, please know that if Nick will allow him, Lane will hang 100 on SC
You taking that dreaded United airlines DC to Doha flight? Thats a monster.....definitely going to miss the game and then some.i have to get on a flight to doha 30 minutes before kickoff. i will be checking the scores as soon as we land. this will be the first season opener i have missed under saban.
at least i wont have to deal with the game thread eeyores
From what I've read, their DL isn't great against the run. Bo and Damian should enjoy that. Then, Bama can go deep on a few play action passes and make the secondary pay.What they do on the back end of their defense will likely be predicated by how much pressure they can get on your QB, and how well he responds to that pressure. Because this will be the first start for your QB, I just don't see huge numbers in the air. I think that you are more likely to see Bo or Harris have a monster game than anyone else.
JMO, but I don't see Saban putting the entire game in the hands of a QB this inexperienced. The passes will likely be mostly short and safe.
DVR at home and watch it on a Smart Phone.Don't you take your football seriously? They surely have sports bars in Doha. Catch a later flight.
nah. qatar air out of atlanta. 14 hrs of awesomeness (i flew this route with qatar air last week). then i get a 10 hour layover before my next flight to hong kong, so i can catch up on the game thread. could have booked on delta via seattle and had 4 hour layover and about 3 hours less flying time, but it was almost twice the cost. this summer we officially switched all of our international business travel from delta to qatar airYou taking that dreaded United airlines DC to Doha flight?

Adoree' Jackson is arguably the most athletic player in college football. He has been a dynamic player in all three phases of the game (offense, defense and special teams), and football might not even be his best sport. He has won back-to-back Pac-12 titles in the long jump, and narrowly missed qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team a few weeks ago. I've seen him play live on several occasions, but I've just recently had a chance to study his play on tape. Here's my scouting report.
Where he needs to improve: Jackson is ultra athletic, but he gives up too many plays as a cornerback because of his inconsistent focus and technique. He really struggled against wide receiver Will Fuller (a first-round pick of the Houston Texans this year) in the Notre Dame game last season. On the first snap of the game, he got caught peeking in the backfield and let Fuller get by him for a 75-yard TD. He was beat over the top two other times by Fuller in that game, with one resulting in a pass-interference penalty and the other in a long reception. His eye discipline has been an issue in other games, too. Also, he rarely uses his hands to re-route wide receivers when he's in press coverage. Against most opponents, he has enough speed and agility to recover but this needs to be cleaned up. As a receiver, he has good hands, but most of his targets come on bubble screens and quick flat routes. He isn't asked to run a variety of routes. He's an explosive athlete, but it would take a lot of development for him to play receiver at the next level. He simply doesn't have a lot of experience.
While I agree with your point for the most part, technically if Bateman starts it won't be his first start.What they do on the back end of their defense will likely be predicated by how much pressure they can get on your QB, and how well he responds to that pressure. Because this will be the first start for your QB, I just don't see huge numbers in the air. I think that you are more likely to see Bo or Harris have a monster game than anyone else.
