Haha I'm just messing around.I'd be careful..."Old Man Earl" has been rebuilt like Steve Austin!
It's interesting to me that all the media viewing periods in the last few days has focused on the defense.
Makes me think CNS and CLK aren't doing anything with the offense during the media period to indicate any qb order or offensive direction.
$6 million worth?!?I'd be careful..."Old Man Earl" has been rebuilt like Steve Austin!
Dang, Earle. Hope you have good insurance! :wink:
Agree - if he can learn money in dime and will in nickel we could collapse the coverage packages into the same personnel grouping to give us an incredible amount of flexibility.
Didn't the barn recruit him for that position and he didn't want to play it and that is one of the reasons he came to Bama? I could be incorrect but I believe I remember reading that.
Yes and no.
Ellis tried to sell him on being solely a LB/S hybrid. Alabama sold him on getting to the NFL as a pure OLB. I believe gilbert's post is what the coaches are thinking. Alabama wouldn't have to worry about changing personnel if he learned the position. Go from Nickel to Dime without rotating players and getting caught in getting guys on and off the field during a hurry up situation.
yep - that's the drawback of having the 4-2-5 be your base. you've got a position that's hard to recruit top talent to since that position doesn't translate to the NFL that well. We've tended to play guys not only at the star, but also have them shift out to CB or back to S so the scouts see they can do both and be a better fit for NFL schemes. A guy that is a pure star in the Ellis scheme might not translate well into an NFL role. I could see that changing over time but it's the current state.
Scrimmage was delayed for weather but the players are now back on the field. Scrimmage starting soon..
