Thanks for the read. I wonder if somewhere down the road if we'll find out what really happened with Guillon, the back or the rumored backlash against the staff. I'd like to sign McElroy.

Hey......I've seen this thread before! Double dipping are we?

On JJ's future position:

It would appear Jimmy Johns is a running back to stay. Johns signed as a quarterback and moved to running back in the fall, hasn’t expressed a strong inclination to move back to his original position, and Alabama’s coaches have gushed over his potential as a running back.“I think he’s very pleased where he is playing,” Rader said. “I’m of the opinion he is going to make a lot of money as a running back. He’s really in the embryonic stages of being a running back. He’s going to be an excellent running back.”

About QB's:

“I like our quarterback situation,” Rader said. “Marc is still very sharp if he can get his back to come around. Barnes is young and has learned as good as you can when you’re redshirting. We are still going to recruit quarterbacks.”

Should help "clear the air" on a few things! Again, thanks RTO.

Wanna beat the glue out of the Johns to LB horse again?

Reading and hearing Rader/Woods, etc. speak this year there is one thing that keeps coming to mind. When Woods came on staff here he talked all the time about how Darby was the "real thing." We've seen how he can recognize talent and develop it when it comes to the RB position.

Taking that into consideration makes me wonder what '07 is going to be like. Damn, should be one hell of an offense.

I have nothing of any informational value to add.

Many thanks, however, to RTO22, Surfer, and others, for digging up gems such as the above story for us.
