🏈 Game Week~ Wisconsin

What do you expect from the safeties this year? They still worry me a bit with all the inexperience there.
We basically have two corners playing safety. Our safeties have been below average in pass coverage for the most part. Now we are addressing that. Eddie is a natural safety, he doesn't have the speed to be a corner and he has a killer instinct. Geno is a seasoned player and a good corner. He should be fine, he developed nice in tackling last year.
 
Well the great thing about having a guy with a cannon is he can drop back and throw it as far as he can if the def puts 8 in the box. It's how Jamarcus beat us a couple of times. He rarely connected on those deep passes but damnit you had to respect the fact that he could launch it.
 
Per Ben Jones, Tidesports.com:

Yesterday, players told us they'd taken a look at Wisconsin but hadn't gone fully into game prep yet. Looks like that started today. It's hard to tell for sure during individual drills but it looked like things have now shifted over to Wisconsin game planning and installation.

Spent some time watching Reuben Foster today, who was the second ILB in line for drills behind Reggie Ragland. He's been the No. 2 or 3 guy for most of fall camp, and it seems like he's in line for much more playing time than last year, when he got 22 tackles.

Seeing him stand next to Ragland was striking. Alabama tends to recruit players to a certain mold at each position so they tend to be very similar, but if Reuben and Reggie switched jerseys, I don't know if I could tell them apart. Reggie is an inch or two taller, but their frames alongside one another looked almost identical (Foster is listed at 6-1/240, Ragland at 6-2/252).

The team is back at 3:30 tomorrow, then has Sunday off before getting into a normal game week schedule.
 
Predictions. Coker will throw for 3k yards and 28+ tds.

If you weren't a fellow Bama fan, I would tell you to name the wager amount, because it would be the easiest $$$ I've ever made. JC won't even throw for 2K and maybe not 1K, b/c he won't be the starter all season. And even if he is, it won't be 3K. I think it's more likely that at least three QBs get meaningful snaps.
