Could you imagine having darnell wright, fant, tillman, hyatt and hooker this year with this defense?

Milton has a good pass blocking grade. Maybe he can switch to tight end!

Very cool. How does Alabama's team grade and Offensive/Defense grade compares to ours?

How do they have Aaron Beasley so low? Makes no sense to me

These grades are useless

Interesting that Telander is our highest graded lb yet Carter gets most of the freshman fan love. Keep seeing Telander getting a lot more PT lately so the coaches must like what he’s doing. Bodes well for the future!

They’re a dynamic duo. One may end up being as good as the other.

Because they grade every play. We fans would seldom notice if he wasn't in on a tackle because he took a bad angle, hesitated on a read, or got caught up in a block.

We only notice when they call his number--which 9 times out of 10 will be for something good.

Who is/is not surprised by John Campbell, Jr.'s PFF ratings?

(Asking for all of us who confidently recite "SEC games are won in the trenches" ...but still end up watching the skill positions.)

And Carvin.
