I went a little crazy at the Vandy game and doubled down on our 2nd quarter line when the 1st quarter didn't hit. I don't know if that's a winning play all season but it worked that game

I forgot to add our bowl game, which would make us 10-3

I think it was Vandy where we went for it on 4th, instead of taking the field goal. That was about the only time I was irritated with play calling and it was for selfish reasons,

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I was gonna say that earlier, they juice the hell out of our 1st quarter odds. We were getting like -120 and -130 except in the Bama and UGA games.

Hopefully we'll be able to get in at o10.5, but I'd say it'll be o/u13.5 for decent odds.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yeah, with a nickelback.

Thanks. I will get out of my 4-3-4 eventually.

So worse case scenario and Bru is late being eligible... who is our go-to guy opposite Tillman since he will be double teamed automatically when we play SEC teams and Pitt? Hyatt?

According to depth chart projections, it looks like Walker Merrill

Thanks-- that's surprising with all the seemingly hype that Hyatt was/is getting from rededicating himself and putting on muscle weight... Hopefully Bru settles in and we won't need to worry about it.

They do at least move the line pretty quickly. I would NEVER get in a line as big as Chick-fil-A's always is at any other fast food establishment.

I have the day off, and nobody is talking football when it’s a week away. Tell me who y’all expect to be the surprise difference maker like Theo was last year. Offense of defense. Returning or freshman.

I can tell you that while I was out today, Swain was on the radio talking up Dominic Bailey. Swain said he asked BY who he thought looked ready to step up this year, and BY said Bailey. That'd be nice because we need all our DL to play better this year. If they get a solid push up front, it'll make life better for our LBs and secondary.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Edit…he had just talked about him caring about you on and off the field so he was not comparing his record to Saban’s.

Hyatt is going to play the slot, and is most likely the starter there.

Better get your stuff in order. Just drove by a Chick-fil-A at Noon and there was zero line. The end is coming soon.

I keep forgetting about him! That would be great if he did do what we thought he was going to do under Pruitt. (Wow, that seems like years ago when we thought he was a defensive genius lol.)

I think juwan mitchell is gonna surprise some folks.

I like our LB rotation this year. Banks and Mitchell should be good. I think Beasley will be better, and Page is at least serviceable. Next year could be challenging because we lose at least 3 of those IIRC.

 

[SweetasSoda]

That would be great also. It’s as if people completely forgot he’s on the team.

Another player being talked up was Kamal Hadden.

Hyatt starting, and squirrel may be in behind him. Bru starting the second outside (Payton) position with Merrill and Keyton behind him.

Hyatt is the slot man, taking Velus' role.

Plus TMac and Turnage. Lots of bodies in the secondary to choose from. Need to see how they react when the lights come on.

That makes me happy! What if we had a Theo on the DL, at LB and in the secondary???

 

[Weezer]

The WR position is deep. I think the staff is going to be challenged to get as many of them playing time as possible.

I think Callaway is ahead of Squirrel atm. But Squirrel will definitely play.

They said they're going to try to have a steady rotation of 8 guys. That's crazy, compared to what we looked like last year.
