Couldn't sleep for whatever reason last night. So sat around thinking back over three days...
Alabama OG commit Grant Hill has really impressed.
The WR's have been everything expected.
Tight end position is really strong.

Offensive guard group is the strongest on the OL.

Another one...
If Nkemdiche or Carl Lawson line up inside, they can do serious damage in a game with this setting/rules.

We really believe this is a terrific class in 2013 at safety/nickel.
I believe this week has furthered that opinion.

Artie Burns as a guy that can play S, nickel or boundary corner stands out.

Good stuff Gerry. How has OJ Howard looked? I know he has a freak physique and build, I was just surprised that he wasn't on the "Best by Position" list. Thanks!

Head coach Herm Edwards just had a lot of praise to Kelvin Taylor, Christian Hackenberg, Hunter Bivin and others.
Well have more later today from Coach Edwards.

Hasn't got to show his elite athleticism as much this week playing a lot of in-line.
Terrific prospect - our opinion has changed on him.

Thanks. How has your opinion changed? Is he looked at more as a big WR now instead of a traditional TE?

Got it. Thanks Gerry. Really looking forward to seeing him in Crimson. He will bring an element to the Bama O that we haven't seen before.

Montravius Adams on crutches today. Left ankle still in a brace. Seems unlikely he will play Friday though he has said he wants to. Hasn't practiced since Monday

Where is Marcus Baugh at in comparison to these other top TE's. I've read he's impressed. If a notch below, what does he lack or what does he need to improve on to get to their level?

Read the article you had an article on Redfield's decision. Do you think he's Irish?

Chris, is this something they do at halftime? Before/After the game?
