I wonder if Lattimore would have been ranked if he signed with Auburn?
How is it that McCaleb is ranked above our starting back?

Maybe he has a chip on his shoulder from Auburn fans misspelling his name. Kinda that wanting to prove himself thing. Who knows.

I have read the Ontario put on 10 lbs of muscle since last season. This is good. Now he is up to 175. I do think it should be fun to watch the Fannin/McCaleb/Dyer running attack. Yes, I haven't included Newton, that is bonus.

Lattimore hasn't played 1 damn college game yet.

wait wait wait.... I thought aubarn was gonna land the 3 top rb's from last year? What happened? oh yea..... dumb fukin barners!!

I hope this kid makes me eat crow. I'm not all that high on him. He's got tremendous break away speed, but he runs straight up with stiff hips. He's going to get hurt a lot if he doesn't learn to actually play the position.

So does that mean that Richardson is one of Fannin's calves?

The way he's used, he'll be fine. He won't ever carry the ball 15 plus times between the tackles, and usually will be used on sweeps and Wildcat. We have Fannin and the new Fr. coming in. I find it a bit odd that McCalebb is on any top 10 list too. He's a nice weapon, but his contribution is about 10 touches a game.

I agree, although I do like McCaleb, Fannin would be my pick instead.

I would like to see McCalleb used more as a secondary receiver and Zachery with a few extra totes. Also think the threat of Newton running gives defenses fits as a creator rather than Todd feeling he had to force some stuff after a few failed possessions in a row. It will be interesting to see how Malzahn gets around Tate's absence as the number one threat which defenses had to key on in spite of the varied formations and motion. Fannin, Burns and Dyer will get the heavy stuff done with this group in front of them, I'm certain.
The unpredictability of the offense could actually be more lethal without an bread and butter guy and everyone trying to make his own highlight film as long as Newton remains bent on dialing up the right numbers. We have the best overall receiver in the SEC in Adams. A true deep threat on the field is what is needed to make this the most entertaining offense in cfb. We can get by without the home run, but who wants to?

When a writer writes this:
Onterio McCalebb, Auburn
This is where the list gets more speculative. McCalebb, one of the nation's top recruits two years ago, gained more than 100 yards in each of the Tigers' first two games before hitting a string of injuries. By the time McCalebb regained his strength, Ben Tate had taken hold of the starting job.
He doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.

After Untareo's injury last year (On a needless fake punt against Testicle St.) he was a shell of his former Makalib.

I'm not all that impressed with Newton's speed. I'm not so sure his promise lies in speed, but more of a Tebow type thing. Tebow wasn't really a blazer, just one big tall tough fucker, thus hard to bring down. Newton's Rivals profile lists him as 6'6" 247 lbs and runs a 4.53 40. I was re-watching a few spring games I had on the DVR the other day, and if that kid runs a 4.5 40, it's the slowest looking 4.5 known to man. He does look to be a hard runner, though. Honestly, I was more impressed with Caudle than Newton.
AJ Green may have something to say about the whole best receiver in the SEC thing. If you're basing it on stat lines alone, I'm not so sure that's the best way to crown somebody the best in the conference. He's good, and I wouldn't mind him playing for Alabama at all, but best in the SEC? Not so sure about that.

I didn't ever think Matt Jones looked like he ran very fast either but I think our secondary would attest to the fact that he did.

I would only guess that Newton runs in the 4.6-4.7 range which should cut it with that body.
As for Green, he has a better upside than Adams perhaps but I don't think he could snare as many in this offense. Not many receivers like the crossing or underneath stuff on a blind run. Those are blue collar areas.

Not concerned with what impresses a bammer, but your premise is correct. However, Newton's mobility will bring an extra dimension to the offense. Rivals 40 times are always suspect. Any non-electronic 40 time is. I think Rudi Johnson was touted as a 4.3 guy back in the day. He's 4.55 on his best day. Speed doesn't always mean great, nor does lack of world class speed mean no good...Jerry Rice and Emmit Smith were both very avg in 40 times, while Darrius Heyward Bey is a speed demon at 4.3.

Beat me to the punch...Matt "pass the doobie" Jones was a legit 4.4 guy...at his height, it didn't look the same as a 5-11 RB doing it.

I don't believe many 40 times either but it's easy to spot a Matt Jones.

Yes, when they appear to be moving in slow motion, yet every defender on the field seems even slower, they're Matt Jones.

I've seen some Okie QBs with a quick burst running by would-be tacklers on the option but it's nothing like the lanky Jones outstriding several with the angle on him.
-
Yes, I remember those days. I once, or twice, was hoping that someone with a bat would homerun Matt's knees into the upper deck. The guy could literally get me freaking furious at some football.

Matt was a fun player to watch. The drawback was that he saved Houston Nutt from getting fired earlier.

I can agree with that. If Newton is in the upper 4 second range, I don't think it's that big of a problem either. Like I said, Tebow wasn't a blazer, he was just a hard runner and one big guy to try and bring down. That has it's own upside, to an extent.

McFadden and Jones did too...too bad the guy couldn't recruit and his great players kept saving him from being fired. :blink:
