I'm with him. Not worried at all about the OL. Last year's OL will be the worst OL we have under this regime, I expect.

Unfortunately, last year's DL and LBs will be the best we have for a while though and their 60th ranked run defense tells you there weren't particularly good.

Just a reminder.

The last time Trailerbammer lost to an SEC East team, it was SOS in 2010.

That is an impressive stat until you realize a down UT team is their yearly cros division game. And they always seem to get the other teams when they are down.

PS. Living in Alabama sucks right now.[/QUOTE]

Yup...

agreed. but it is offset by them destroying the east "champion" every year, isn't it?

This is an excellent and an encouraging article. Perhaps my worry about the offensive line is misplaced.
Miles is a good analyst. He is almost as good after months of study as cover is hours after the game ends.

He is great at telling you the stats, he was not good at all at making predictions though.

I love the guy and he does some pretty serious film study. He did a breakdown play selectiob a while back and resulted in saying the Clowntown and Kintucky game plans were almost identical. He is good at things like that.

However he loves stats and sometimes his stats are silly. Once he did a pretty involved analysis and decided that Mullins was going to be successful because every other coach he could find that was hired from one p5 program to go to another was successful. So we could have hired literally anyone from a P5 school (all sixty some) and they would have been successful, even someone underperforming I guess. And ole WiLLLLLLLie will be successful at Xlown Town too I guess.

Now if he had gone farther and limited the pool to only coaches that won x amount more than "average" at a school etc, I might have been interesting.

Nah, you'll never be interesting.

Will Sammon wrote an article (sub site) on Ja'Markis Weston today. Here are the highlights,

1. Weston didn't go to many camps period. Not only did he not go to a rivals or 247 type camp. He didn't go to many team camps. That alone will cause you to go unnoticed.

2. After evaluating Weston to see if they should keep the scholly offer, they loved his game.

Florida receivers coach Billy Gonzales visited Clewiston for a practice during the spring of 2018, a few months after the Gators’ new staff took over. Gonzales wanted to check out Weston, introduce himself and assess whether or not Florida should hang onto the commitment. He asked Garrett if he could watch 15 minutes of practice to study Weston’s movements.

Gonzales stayed for the entire two-hour practice.

“He just fell in love with him,” Garrett said.


3. As for how talented he is physically,

Weston is 6-feet-3 and 210 pounds with athletic genes. His mother still holds the Clewiston record for shot put. Weston’s time in the 100-meter has been clocked at 10.6 seconds, according to Garrett (Weston's coach). Before his senior year, he was bench pressing more than 330 pounds. He can squat more than 500 pounds.

“He’s a big, muscular kid who runs like a damn scat back,” Garrett said.


I don't know about the speed time. He didn't look that fast to me. Plus, we've seen skill guys run 4.3s but play 4.6. I've watched Weston. He doesn't look like he has the kind of speed his coach says he has. But, in Weston's defense, his QB could barely throw 10-15 yards. Weston was relegated to hitches, screens...ect. By the time he caught the ball, he was surrounded. We know he's tough because Weston was a 2-way player. He played DT as well.

The league he played in was really low level when it comes to talent. That’s another reason he was overlooked and why he played d-line too.

The thought of a big strong receiver who has played DT sliding into mullens offense

@JCope1era: ....


Maybe someone can correct me, but for those that aren’t familiar with the players, I’m gonna try to put names to faces, starting right to left.
