2 weeks from getting blasted all season long and now we have one of the better lines in the country.
It's the Happy Adjuster mindset. When trying to make a point they'll push it to the extremes with no clue regarding the burden. That's how you end up with Top 5 or Best in Country instead of "improved."
In Las Vegas betting circles we always hoped a Happy Adjuster would be hired to manage a sportsbook. No telling what type of bargains you might find. Unfortunately it only happened a couple of times. My friend Dave ruined one on the first try, circa mid '90s. That manager put up a prop with a ridiculous overboard adjustment. Instead of betting it once or twice Dave stood there and demanded to bet it again, even though it had been taken off the board for evaluation. I told him we needed to get out of there and await future gaffes. That wasn't Dave's style. He threw a fit, demanding to know what the next number was going to be on that prop. It was so far off you literally could keep betting it 10 or 12 times and still have an advantage. Anyway, the sportsbook manager got fed up with Dave and summoned security, who removed Dave from the premises and told him to stay away.
Let's see, in this category I'll prefer Alabama and take my chances. No Happy Adjusting required. Just logic. They allowed an amazing 2.3 yards per rush this season. I saw an article a month or so ago with an NFL scout claiming it's the deepest and most talented group he's ever seen, from freshmen up. All big and mobile.
Meanwhile, we are on a recent void of legitimately elite defensive tackles. That doesn't stop now. It impacts future seasons until Richt fixes things.
