Tuesday reading: Meet Josh Chapman ...

CrimsonConfidential.comJosh Chapman has rotated in behind Terrence Cody at nose tackle.
The topic of the day is Alabama nose tackle Josh Chapman, this week's replacement for ailing starter Terrence Cody.
There are no shortage of Chapman stories from Tuscaloosa today, including this feature of mine in the Press-Register, where I try to introduce fans to player that hasn't received much attention in spite of his regular playing time. ...
"Everybody loves Cody," said Chapman, noting that even his own family members have been worried about the big man.
Chapman, though, is the strongest player on Alabama's team. He benches 485 pounds, and squats in the range of 600, which quarterback John Parker Wilson notes, "He squats more than all my lifts combined."
:the_finger::the_finger:something else,'" left guard Mike Johnson said of Chapman. "He's the strongest kid on the team. He really knows how to hold down the middle." :the_finger:
Seriously, the Vols may make it close, but will not win, unless there is some serious Vol Mojo going on. It is a great rivalry, but I always admitted in the past when the Vols had the better team. I was worried against Ole Miss and Kentucky, but I am not worried about Tennessee. You guys just are not that good this year, sorry. You just are not the same Tennessee this year as years past. Good luck in the future. You can say what you want about the Tide being weak or over rated, but they have proven themselves on the field. It has been the same thing every week, Bama is overrated and they go out and get it done.
He is on defense genius. Obvious in the midst of Tennessee fans, LoL. Bama is going to kill the Vols this year. No prayer guys, give it up. Your optimism is funny.
He's no Cody. Not even close but keep thinking that. That kid is a flat out beast and everyone knows it. Ole Miss had plenty of success after he went out.
Admittedly, Chapman is not Cody, but I think many people are writing him off. It is not like he is just seeing action, he has been playing 50% of the snaps all season - sometimes more.
Saying that Ole Miss had "plenty of success" is not entirely factual. Cody is a run stopper, not a pass rusher. Chapman would have been in during passing situations anyway. The Rebels had 158 rushing yards, about half came before Cody was injured...62 on one play before Cody went down. Their average per carry was significantly lower after Cody left the game due to the fact that so many of their yards came on that one play.
Chapman is much faster, but he does not take up 2 gaps the way Cody does. Still, he is probably one of the best DT's in the SEC...he just happens to play behind a future first rounder.
hahaha silly vile, you're napolean complex is showing. The only difference in Alabama and Tennessee is Fulmer is a rat and a hypocrite and when you had illiterate players he turned around and turned in Alabama. He is a bastard and he gets whats coming to him Saturday. Have fun with your sister, you rocky top singing, pabst blue ribbon drinking, sister loving hillbilly.

I do not believe one person has done that. everything in this thread refers to him being ok but def. not Cody.
Get your facts straight.
He turned in Bama for investing 150K and 2 SUV's trying to land Memphis DL Albert Means.
Seriously ask yourself... Would you not do the same?
