🏈 Will Ben Beat his Ol' Man's Record?

[rueben]

So, newly signed recruit Ben Davis' father, Wayne Davis, has the most career tackles at Alabama with 327. Any chance that Ben beats his ol' man's record? Or is there too much talent around him to reach this number?

 

[The Dude]

Probably too much talent around him, but damn I'd like to see him get close!

 

[Bama Guy]

Nope, won't do it. He will go pro in 3.

 

[EasyTider]

Nope, won't do it. He will go pro in 3.

+1

This. He'll be a part time contributor as a true fresh and only start full time 2 yrs.

He'll be a force. I'd bet his sophomore and junior year totals exceed his dad's.

That will certainly be the case, but offenses run more plays, too. So, maybe it evens out.

 

[T&B]

No. Too many 3 and outs by dominant Bama D limits opportunities for tackles.

Overly high expectations? Will he be a failure if he doesn't? I've been checking all the news channels and the kid isn't even on campus yet.

Did I say I was expecting him to do it? No, I did not.
Did I even insinuate that he would do it? No, I did not.
Maybe you should check with Ned, in the "prima."

I don't expect him to break the record. I expect Ben to be the very best that he can be in order to help this team win. I know no one is putting pressure on him to break his dad's record, BUT there will be enough pressure on him since he is a legacy playing in the same position.

 

[Bamabacker]

Maybe one of the beat reporters will ask Saban that on the first day of practice. A an epic meltdown will ensue!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Gonna be hard for him and Hall is on the other end, putting opposing players on their backside.

 

[TerryP]

I wonder if we'll see him in more than special teams until junior year.

 

[RollllTide!]

There are more games per year as long as we keep winning championships, so I would say he could do it in 3. That would only be 7+ per game

Film I've seen, he'll be running schitt by sophomore year.

You right his Dad did it in 4 years, but he could break single season which is 134 held by Lowe in '73, or single game held by Ryans 25 '03. But Bama had a lot of good/great players to break these records.
