Getting Ready for Spring Battles!

This may have been addressed already, but from what I am hearing, Russell is going to be the starter. Again, this may have been obvious to most or my sources are simply wrong...

Wowowow I hadn’t heard this! I deleted my x tho so I’m out of the loop

After hearing this "angle," I agree that maybe Russell is at an advantage.

Jimmy Stein said something that tips it, IMO. Basically, that AM is probably close to his ceiling. And we all believe, Russell is, obviously, NOT. But, in addition, Russell also has a much bigger "wow" factor potential, which is what I think we all want in a QB. Now, that might bring more freshman errors, but the upside may be probably worth it!!!

And, when you think about it, if it is this close at this point, there's a good chance Russell pulls away toward the fall!

The word you’re looking for is “competent”. Not awesome, not other worldly, just competent.

Last year would’ve been a little different if they were.

Indeed... Even Bill Curry had lines that at least knew their assignments and could hold a block long enough to let the play develop, even if they weren't physical.

Last year was one of the worst OLs I've seen in 40+ years of watching football!

Where did this come from? If I'm asking questions... that means I"m skeptical.

I've been out of the loop for a while but keeping eye on the spring practice and basketball tournament. Reading the articles, watching videos since Friday on scrimmages, and all... ... The vibe I'm getting, and this is strictly my opinion.

I believe Russell will be the starter...... eventually. Both QBs are competing hard this spring, and they both made great play during scrimmage. I would say in my opinion, nobody is pulling away as of right now. I think as of now, I wouldn't be so quick to say Russell will start this fall. Just let everything play out and see what happens in August.

Glad to see Ryan William-Coleman back.

One thing I've been very impressed with is the OL play. You can definitely see improvement this spring. Lot of focus on basic concept of blocking, pulling and etc. I'll say this: I'm glad those guys transferred out of Alabama because what we have coming in is sgnificantly improved than what we had last year.

DL- This potentially could be one of the nastiest DL personnel groups we could have.
