🏈 247's Josh Newberg: "I was lied to all summer about Dickerson smh" (Two defenders flattened on one play.)

Bama has two of the most average TE's playing in the SEC. Neither did a damn thing on this play (the play is set to go opposite from them)

Methinks you have a higher opinion of the UA TEs than I do. I would settle for average at this point. At least get in the way of someone and fall down

I don't get your point.

One, Tennison, is playing the LT position and the other, Forristall, isn't playing a TE there...he's in an H-back slot. The only TE, by definition, is Leatherwood to the right outside of Wills.

Now...none of that has anything to do with the job Dickerson does here.

But since we've stepped over in the tight ends conversation here ...

I am not sad at all.

Are you sad now?

Fall in front of whom? There's no rush coming from the right side of their defense except for one guy who taken up by Owens after Neal pulls.

@TerryP

I was referring to their overall performance (the regular TEs) The introduction of regular Olinemen at the TE position has helped considerably. I just got spoiled by big Irv and guys like that

 

[TerryP]

@Elderfalsedemigod, James would have been that blocking tight end they need right now leaving these two as the receiving threats. We'd look at this team a lot different if the two TE's where James and Forristall (or Tennison.) Quite frankly, teams look at those later two a lot like they looked at OJ early on. If he's in, he's not one you'd worry about blocking you.

 

[JoshB]

Damn he got two pancakes on one play.

 

[#80]

Any way you look at it both TE's are below average for a CNS team.

Now, the whistle hadn't sounded ... but that second guy? He hit him because he was standing there.

Wills does a great job on that play as well.

I mean don't be just standing there I've given the kid shit for some of the stuff he does AFTER the whistle but this I am 1000% cool with.

Hell NO...he was an energy vampire his stay in Titletown...glad his azz is gone

Did not seem like his second block was necessary. What impressed me was the down field blocking by the WR's. Good stuff. Call me crazy but I think this offense has the potential to be even more potent than they are. Teams already have their hands full with the offense if they get the running game going with power it will be a nightmare for the opponent.

I've not seen any after the whistle issues. Examples?

 

[rick4bama]

This thread is about Dickerson, end up about the two TE.

 

[UAgrad93]

Dickerson is playing with a chip on his shoulder! He stayed hurt during his time at F$U and really didn't get a chance to prove himself that he is a pretty good player. He transfers and F$U fans talk trash about him and some BAMA fans did as well when his destination was known. I love his play personally!! Dude plays pissed off and plays "through" the whistle. If you don't want to make someone's highlight tape, you had better not be standing around during a play! js

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

I believe that is Bento Jones (95) that got the ride by 69 and 74 and he is a pretty good football playa. If you recall he was the guy that committed to The King and then two or three weeks later flipped to the Rev Hugh Freeze(playing games to appear the Johnny Rebels took something from Bama). Glad he landed on his azz.

It is Benito. I almost brought his name up before the game. He's one of those guys you think has been around for six or seven years.

Quietly the Alabama OL has been improving and playing well.

The last 2 weeks the Bama OL was voted as the 2nd best OL performer in the SEC by Cubelic.

Now Deonte Brown is back and will have had 3 weeks of reps preparing to earn his starting job by the time the A&M game is here.

Agree with this... Also Brown coming back will help provide options if needed.
