lol Saban just dragged our offense for NFL draft purpose. “They don’t run a lot of routes at Tennessee” “just had him running vertically probably to his disadvantage”. We’ll need a receiver to break through in the Big leagues to shut these people up.

I would have asked him about the routes that Hyatt ran in Neyland just a few seasons ago against his Crimson turds.

Imagine not being able to stop an offense that has only runs vertical routes.

First use of the Guillotine...

We should bring it back


Nicolas Jacques Pelletier was a French highwayman who had the unfortunate timing of being the first person to be executed by means of the guillotine. He was arrested for assault, robbery, and possibly rape and was issued a death sentence by decapitation. He waited in prison for three months while the guillotine was built in Strasbourg. His execution was a public spectacle with high security. Though everything went "smoothly," the crowd felt the contraption was too swift and not entertaining enough, and reportedly shouted "bring back our wooden gallows!" Nevertheless, this led the way to the French "Reign of Terror" under the command of Maximilien Robespierre, in which thousands were sentenced to guillotine often with little reason - and a death toll between 16,000 and 40,000. The guillotine was the official method of French execution until the death penalty was abolished in 1981.

Completely agree. Levis and a late pick or two for a 4th round target would be great.

With the staff we have now and a QB the players trust we have more access to quality FA's than in the past. Align the draft around high value targets, which it appears Borgo is doing.

Gotta think the priority today is IOL, nickel, IOL, RB/safety in that order. We have 5 picks left so I expect one of those to be packaged together to move up at some point

Knee needs another surgery that if doesn’t go well, could be a career ender.

If that’s the case he should get a big contract with little guaranteed. Reward the talent and just not commit long term. Not go undrafted. Make it make sense.

Maybe McCoy never should have had the bone plug? Or should have had this second surgery months ago? Bad look for those advising him.

Also, why would any player not declare for the draft but also retain the ability to come back to college (whatever is needed to do so whether it’s enter transfer portal too or withdraw before draft)? Hard to imagine McCoy wasn’t getting this feedback from NFL teams and should have been advised accordingly.

At this point any NFL contract he gets is going to pay him less than he could have made if he just played another year in college.

The way some of these teams are reaching, it’s definitely possible guys like Kitselman and Aguilar get picked today.

Hell, maybe even Turrentine.

IF McCoys issue is an agent, I hope (probably not) there are people who learn from this. Too many "agents", "uncles", or some other random "relative" get in these kids ear, sometimes WAY before college and in most cases they are motivated by there own self-interest. Hate them all.
