Sad emotion for the 3th post beeing about a QB. 

 

Personal I feel this year is gonna suck for my favorite teams. Florida there locker room is questionable and have a freshman QB. Maryland is loaded with talent but there Schedule is painfull.

And one to screw up the personnel department.

in my perpetual honoring of rufus's avatar, i'd like to quickly go on record: whatever you're for, i'm against it.

 

i had a hard time not posting the video.

ANybody saw Ohio State? Highligts look like there O was leaning on big plays and there D played average. I thought they would dominate this so so Indiana team more.

I'll be watching Alabama's duel DTs this Saturday. Notwithstanding, Payne's recent DUI.

An NFL draft analyst thinks highly of both Alabama’s Da’Ron Payne and Da’Shawn Hand.

 

 

NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein ranks both Payne and Hand in his top 11 college football defensive linemen to watch in 2017.

Payne ranks No. 3 and Hand ranks No. 7 on his list.

Zierlein writes that Payne “proved more than capable” of taking over for the departed A’Shawn Robinson last season.

 

“Payne is a block of granite with great lean muscle mass as well as exceptional body control and contact balance,” Zierlein writes. “He is an elite run-stuffer with heavy hands and is only on the ground when he’s finishing a tackle. His textbook approach to handling double teams is classic Crimson Tide and he should be an easy fit in a nose spot for either 3-4 or 4-3 teams on the next level.

 

“He’s not a total stiff as a pass rusher, but he still needs to improve in that area.”

Payne played in all 15 games for Alabama last season as a sophomore. He had 36 tackles (3.5 for a loss), 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery.

Hand, a former No. 1 overall recruit, did not play as much as expected last season behind Jonathan Allen and Dalvin Tomlinson, though that’s expected to change as a likely starter this fall as a senior.

“… Hand is in a position where he should see plenty of playing time,” Zierlein writes. “He needs to produce against both the run and the pass so that teams view him as an every-snap talent and not just a physical specimen. Hand is long with good core strength and some flashy potential at the point of attack as a run defender. He should be an NFL consideration for both 4-3 and 3-4 teams at the defensive end spot with an ability to rush from the inside.”

 

In three seasons at Alabama, Hand has 44 tackles, including 11 for a loss and six sacks.

Ah, the water is warm. Welcome back fellas.

College Football is back baby! Is it time to get Gibbs to start the 2018 ES draft thread

[Monk4thaHALL]

[Skinsinparadise]

The other D lineman I'll watch closely in the Florida State-Alabama game, Derrick Nnadi.  His rep is he's stout against the run and also brings push in the pass rush.  Seems to be thought of as a late first rounder by some right now.   Derwin James, I am guessing is a top 10 pick right now and hopefully out of our range because we wouldn't be picking that high.

 

 

[stevemcqueen1]

Missed the first half of the BC game.  Did Landry get hurt?

[clskinsfan]

Gameday! We get a good look at Saquon Barkley at 12 on ABC. Being a Penn State fan I expect big things from his this year.

[stevemcqueen1]

All throws and QB draws/read option keepers on Penn State's first drive.  Lon drive ends in an INT in the end zone.

Marcus Allen #2 S and Mike Gesicki #88 TE are also top prospects to watch.

 

Allen looks good so far.

[Skinsinparadise]

Maryland's DJ Moore (WR), TY Johnson (RB) seem to be living to the hype.  Speedy-dynamic.   Beating Texas.

[stevemcqueen1]

Gesicki made it look easy on that touchdown.  The size really stands out.  Huge firing out of his stance in the slot.  Safeties can't match up 1 on 1.

Barkley is electric.  Only a few touches in the game so far, but he makes the most of each one.  So shifty and patient.  Already hurdled two tacklers so far.

[stevemcqueen1]

Akron's QB has ****ty body language.  This thing is going to be a beatdown.

[Skinsinparadise]

Ty Johnson.  Runs a bit upright but has sort of a Dalvin Cook style explosiveness.  At this rate he probably gets to 100 yards or close by the half.

I'll give Randy Edsall credit.. Raved about Ty Johnson.. Kept telling me #Terps need more guys like him.. He's a big play waiting to happen

 

 

[stevemcqueen1]

Franklin is getting way too cute with his offensive playcalling.  Just run the ball.  Akron can't match up at all.
