We got some dudes. No shortage of talent here, even with all the guys injured today.
Rambo is gonna eat in this offense. He looks like an NFL WR
OK I know everyone hates that Restrepo/Berrios comparisons but tell me you didn't see #8 there on that corner of the end zone toe tap TD? He lived up to the hype.
Knighton has a gear I'm not sure Cam does.
#88 Dante Johnson. Looked a lot better than a lot of scholarship WRs we've had in recent years. Big dude with hands. From GA. That's all I know.
Dee and Pope.. Sigh. I see why they want to make it work with these guys. They can run.. They get open. But if you can't be trusted to catch the **** ball, I don't see how you can put them at the top of the depth chart. At least Pope came back from his awful drop and made some plays. Dee had a long one late, but that's what he does. Drop, drop, big play.. I'm just not sure it's worth the trade off with the depth we have now. Pope can still help. Not sure on 8 anymore.
Starting OL loooked solid. But hard to gauge totally with so much passing.
Key Smith, you can see why the hype. Granted some of his plays were against walk ons but he's gonna be a problem.
Worsham has skills. Hopefully he can be patient.
Redding got hurt early when Jake hung him out to dry but he looks like a grown man.
GARCIA. I'm a believer. Tyler looked good but to me Garcia has it. He could very well be the #2 QB for Bama. And I think the way you saw Lashlee get on him for stuff is an indication of that.
On defense.. gonna be hard to keep Avante off the field. He's a dude.
Hard to gauge LBs with so few running plays but Flagg was active around the goal line. Still think we need help from the portal.
Chase Smith is gonna be a problem for offenses. Would like to see him maybe bulk up and become an OLB.
Keontra looks natural at LB. Early play to Knighton looked like it was gonna be a huge gainer and he kept it to a short one.
Younger Borregales looks fine. No long attempts but looks like he'll pick up right where Jose left off.
Didn't see a ton out of the DL. Again, too few running plays to truly gauge. Ends seemed active. McCloud was what I expected. He'll get a few snaps but stop sh*tting your pants thinking he's gonna get like 50 snaps a game.
Rique looked the part. Most physical CB we've had since Corn Elder, but in a 1st round body. I think he's a safety at the next level but he'll lock down a side here.
Ivey got hurt early so hard to say if the "improvement" hype is warranted.
Hall and Carter had some tackles early they might have whiffed on at the end of last year, so that was encouraging. But Hall still got beat over the top too much.
For the mopes:
Didn't see Carter get any snaps at safety. Think it was all striker.
Pope didn't field any PRs
Seems like Jennings is clearly a backup at this point. I don't think he got any snaps with the 1s.
Overall, it was good and didn't see any injuries that looked serious. Been watching spring games for near 30 years. I can tell when there's talent. We got talent. Let's see what we do with it.
