its crazy how much people sleep on Werewolf, the dude had offers from everywhere (Half the SEC including Bama) and is a favourite of Diaco's. Plus he has a redshirt year to bulk up. Hes going to be a machine out there

It's crazy how much people sleep on Moore, the dude had offers from everywhere (Half the SEC including South Carolina and FSU from the ACC) and is a favourite of Diaco's. Plus he has a redshirt year to bulk up. Also, he WON Scout team player of the year! Hes going to be a machine out there.

He had a great offer list with teams like LSU, FSU, Florida, etc. But Bama never offered. He was also a three star by Scout and Rivals.

But I agree with you, I think that he is going to be a really good player for us. Cant wait to see him suit up.

For all of the ESPN haters, they actually had him ranked the highest at #127 overall, #12 OLB

Points per game or no deal, lol.

Sans our bowl game, we averaged 31.7 PPG this season, how much higher do you want it?

(We averaged 29.2 if you count the bowl game)


So yes... I agree to your demands. This bet is on.

Does this move speak to us not feeling good with the top TE's in 2013 like Brenneman?

Has nothing to do with the recruiting class of 2013. Niklas will be a Junior by the time they arrive. It has to do with getting the biggest threats on the field in positions that best utilize their strengths. Niklas has good hands, he's enormous, and he would destroy safeties that would have to cover him. He's a complete mismatch.

Kyle Rudolph 2.0

What do you think the chance of putting him on the offensive side of the field is, TT?

Numbers are lovely, but how about we base this on points per game? And you're going to have to do two things: 1) Tell me who werewolf is 2) divide your offer by 20.

Wait, wait, wait.....points per game isn't a number? :eek:grin:

F/+ is a better indicator than PPG anyway. We could score 72 points against Navy and that one game could be the difference.

100,000 v-bucks and a v-beer. And we'll set it at the 29.2 points per game. Deal!

This would make better sense to me if two things are true:

1).Kelly plans to flank Eifert out a lot this year [ex. Eifert, Koyack or Welsh or Niklas, and two of the "normal" receivers], and bulk up on the goal line [Niklas and Welch or Koyack in part of a Tank package]; and

...

Pretty foggy crystal ball .....

Too much humility. It's not foggy for those that can see.

Good luck defense.

Perhaps Kelly is hinting that Rees will stay as starter. Lining up the tallest receivers for Tommy's highball.






Or trying to find receivers Everett can see over the OLine?

Maybe Kelly will have Niklas and Eifert as the outside WRs and run the Denard passing offense. Rees will throw as far as he can (probably about 30 yards) and Niklas/Eifert can battle for the jump ball.

Thread has crying need for the sarcasm font...........


Oh, and without sarcasm, Terry's "Rudolph 2.0" is ***** rated IF Big Troy can learn the offense... being from America's First Football Family, I assume that he can.

This move certainly begs the question... Does Koyak have potential?

You think? I think it more begs the question, "Will Eifort play wide receiver this year?'

I think there is Welch, and Koyak, and one of those two will really be able to play; I have been mulling it over with a friend. Why not put Eifert out wide? He has good speed, not great, 4.6ish, and provides an incredibly large target. We are getting a better idea of who will be in slot, Neal, Toma. We will see more running backs out of the backfield. We will see more running. Why not put the big bodies on the field, Welch (who many consider ahead of Rudolph), Koyack, and Troy Niklas.
