HardKnox, thanks as always. Really great insight.

Wondering have you had much of a chance to watch Medley during camp? Wondering if any improvement shown thus far? Thanks ahead of time brutha. I know your busy.

I actually mentioned him in a post sometime last weekend. But I've seen him once as we were walking back to the media room through the indoor field. I saw him kick 3 times. First one = hit the goalpost and bounced off. Second = curved right then barely hooked back left into the goal. Third = hooked way left.

He was kicking from about the 45 yd line too.

The three you mentioned were from the 45?

That's a long kick. Maybe he has honed in a lil more since then. I do remember you posting that a week or so ago but I wasn't sure if you had seen him since so thought I would ask.

If hitting the upright was the name of the game that dude would be $$$$!

Thanks again

I was at practice as well and my main take away was that Tuttle really suprised me. He's not SEC ready in terms of facing that kind of competition but he was going as hard as he could and wasn't favoring his ankle at all. It was heavily taped but dude was giving whichever O-lineman he faced h377.

Also Medly had a rough night. Missed several field goals 30-45 yards. On a special teams bright side, Trevor Daniel can straight boom it.

Lastly Kahil and Kongbo were bosses. Kahil is much quiker.

Hopefully by SEC play Tuttle will be ready, also kinda scary to hear about Medley. We will need him at some point

Just hearing a good bit more about Buchanan than Martin.

And I'm sorry, did I read that correctly, Justin Martin has NFL written all over him? Surely you're referring to "NFL" tattoos right?

No, they are being serious. One of them, in a thread last year or during the off-season, claimed that Martin would be better than Sutton.

edit: I just went back and looked, it was D4H that claimed that Martin would be better back in December. I guess I should listen to him, he apparently watches alot of tape.

Love how Butch is holding back the team from the media and scouts. All practices and game planning should be closed at this point.

So true. He has a knack for hitting the narrow pipes from 100+ feet. It's uncanny.

It's almost unbelievable.
I always saw that as a rare freak occurrence.....until recently.


Now I just laugh. And not in the good way.

Tbh I think we are leaving points on the field by not switching to turf. We are a smaller quicker team that would benefit JMOTIFWIWIMOBBQ

Both teams which are playing a game play on the same surface. If we are leaving points on the field, so are the teams we are playing. There is no advantage to either team.

The fact that Phillips and Kongbo are our second string DE's shows how deep and stacked this team is. Like wow

so right, but, well, it was practice. they will get to see the field on gameday quite a bit, if not turn into starters eventually. just too much upside to keep them off the field...good problem to have...:)

GO VOLS!

I remember that. Though I like Martin too, I felt as usual D4H was getting way ahead of himself.

One of the elements a team must NOT have to win a national championship is no glaring weaknesses. You can be adequate in a phase of the game and not great and still prevail. Example Saban to this day probably loses sleep over putting a big slow bunch of gorks on his field goal team as he watched Auburn easily return a FG for a long touchdown end of game and ending his NC hopes that season. If we put a FG kicker who routinely hits one of the uprights or misses in game winning situations on the field, that weakness will be exposed during a NC season. If the team and youngster have worked and overcome the weakness, great, if not it will arrive when we least want to see it for team 120 like a ton of bricks IMO.
