How is Knight doing?

[Tide&True]

I don't remember reading about how he did in the scrimmage...is he making progress as a speed rusher?

From what I'm hearing, he's doing pretty well. Andre and he have had some good run-ins and I think they're making each other better. Zeke needs to be able to handle size and Andre needs to handle speed.

From watching the Crimson Tradition video of the 2nd scrimmage, it looked like Zeke who forced the fumble by Upchurch.

Roll Tide!

He probably won't make alot of noise early but I won't be surprised late in the season if he doesn't reel off some sackage. If he can bulk up and learn the position he could be very effective as a Senior. He played hard on every down and I do believe you'll see him in the defensive rotation.

Game one should be Knights time to show out, along with every other speed rusher on the roster. No run-stopping DLmen will see a lot of playing time. WG got a lot of work at DT getting ready for Hawaii. How many plays you think he will see at DT against Ark, LSU, Tenn, Vandy, etc....? Anybody with quicks will be sent after the QB, the rest will be trying to bust up receivers until they shy up. BTW if you cringe at a WR getting laid out by a S on a crossing pattern, don't watch this game.

as long as he doesn't have to catch any passes he'll be fine. hard to catch balls with skillets for hands. Edward Skillethands.

Zeke put on 20-25 lbs. this offseason. If he can put on about the same amount between now and the beginning of the '07 season he's going to be hard for any OT or TE to handle.

Terry,
I'm sure Zeke might not want to, but shouldn't he maybe redshirt this year and gain more weight and have two dominating years left? Just a thought if we don't absolutely need him this year.
