🏈 Ben Davis ???

[rueben]

Now that Uncle ( I don't want that to sound racist I'm just speaking of his age) Grandpa Ben is starting his 32 year at Bama will we see him get his stuff together and produce on a regular basis? This guy came in as the consensus #1 LB in the country, 5 *...blah blah blah. Any word on how is doing in practice?

If early reports are any indication, Ben has had the "light come on" and he has been a coach on the field. He is running with the one's right now. Maybe he was just a slow learner and now, seeing Mack Wilson (whom he came in with) now entering his 2nd season in the NFL that has jump started his drive to compete.

Been A long journey for the young man....what he does today and moving forward are all that matters...seize the moment.

When I watch him in the Bama/ Miss. all star game. He was playing great, but then he was playing against Miss. boys! I hope he got it all stighting out.

He hasn't had good luck on the injury front his entire time in Tuscaloosa. Nothing has been season ending, so to speak, but things akin to a strained pectoral prevents progression. He's had a rough time of it, in my opinion, and received a lot of flak undeserved.

He must have had something though...stayed with team...no portal....
Not many high recruits are doing that

I believe Ben has a been a solid citizen while at Bama and I believe Nick will give the kid a chance to play if he is the best we have at that slot. Based on what I have read on other sites Ben is in the mix to get playing time.

Lone Watie told me a couple years back that Ben looked like his father but played like his mother. We'll see.

Reminiscent of people calling Tyler Love a bust all the while ignoring his neck injuries.

Then again maybe Tyler hurt his neck when he fell over those beer cans? Aight

Really? Good! I think it's progress for him if he's a regular 2 frequently subbing in. I hope he makes his last year his best.

Theoretically I guess he could play next year as well.

And alway need special teams players....

Who was the kid who played six years on the d line, some under Shula. Lorenzo something. He finally contributed if I recall. If Benton McCay Lauscher (I'm butchering the name) had gotten six years his QB hurry record would be untouchable.

Everyone gets another year of eligibility, right?

Oh...Yeah, I didn't think about that.

Ben looks good physically. He looks slim and cut (IE Reuben Foster transformation). In past years he's looked heavy. Good for you Ben. Hope to see you see the field and see major success this year bubba.
