Re: ***2016 DT Kendell Jones Commits to the Tide***

That gives you goose bumps of pride reading how much Hulk still wants to live out his dream of playing football for The Crimson Tide..It's that kinda pride you have to have in football players to win Championships..It also sounds like he's buckled down doing exactly what Coach Saban has told him to make it Alabama..

A lot of hurdles to clear yet including earning another committable offer, let's hope he makes it. While I'd love to see him make the grade, I'm not yet convinced that it will all happen...

I wonder whats the deal, I'm assuming because of the numbers crunch?
I had some issue with his movement coming out of high school. Very much like Mt. Cody with very little lateral speed/movement and this type of player is not a big part of the game now. Taking a year off had to hurt with that and his overall game.

Yep. I just don't see us taking any of those 1 dimensional run stopping/hole plugging DTs. At least have to be able to push the pocket some like Raekwon Davis..

Guys that can do it all are rare and hard to get. Right now we are blessed to have Payne, who is basically so strong and athletic he can play any technique. When he's gone we may need to go find some specialists again. With that in mind we will probably recruit a few of these run plugging guys periodically for games when we really want to play true 3-4 with a half ton of beef up front. But no doubt the double-wide guys won't make up the majority of the DL any time soon.

I hate to hear that cause Kendall is a freak of an athlete for his size..Andrew Bone is always spot on when he posts or tweets Bama Tidbits like that..
