Unconquered

Disagree, because regardless of who wins the job his importance is lessened because we feel like we have a backup who's just as capable

Its likely that the backup QB will Winston b/c whoever doesnt start between Coker & Trickett will likely transfer.

1. Cam
2. Hart
3. Edwards
4. Casher
5. Joyner
6. Greene
7. Jones
8. Matias
9. Coker
10. Aguayo

If were just going by importance then mine would be as follows ...

10. Roberto Aguayo
9. Timmy Jernigan
8. Mario Edwards
7. James Wilder
6. Lamarcus Joyner
5. Christian Jones originally put Green I get the Christians and the Greens confused sometimes
4. Josue Matias
3. Tre Jackson
2. Bryan Stork
1. Cam Erving

Importance to me means guys we can least afford to lose b/c they're that good or b/c their backups are either not nearly as good or very much unproven.

No Karlos Williams???!! In order for us to have an elite defense I feel he needs to step up in a big way at safety in order for us to move Joyner at cb for good. I feel like they need to rotate Joyner JUST IN CASE Karlos doesn't make the impact that the coaching staff expects. I think they are just playing it safe if he doesn't pick up the scheme quick or he gets injured. If he does well I think Joyner is full time cb and is capable of locking one side of the field down. If you notice on Bama defense they always have that one corner that is physical at the line and, in run support and can blitz. And the other side is the big play potential guy (Darby).

Bamas defense forces you into there hands. The scheme they use is just a thing of art. When they blitz they want you to go to the opposite side or when they blitz you in the pass game they want you to have to dump of to the short man. They usually have their opponents in 3&5 or morre and bring the heat to get the qb making that quick check off. Their one on one tackling is what makes them so dominant. I heard on the radio the other day the reason A&M had so much success was because Sumlin made Manziel run the play that was called and didn't allow him to check off or audible because Bama shows one thing and wants you to audible right in to their hands. After rewatching that game the first half of coaching in that game is probably the best I've ever seen in a college game. I have never seen a Saban coached defense as lost as they were. Yeah in the UGA they gave up ALOT of points. But it was more of UGA being just as physical running the ball and setting up the pass. A&M didn't out physical Bamas defense they out schemed them. I hate bama fans but I absolutely love watching bama play. Physical and just beat you down. That's why I'm so excited about Pruitt. I think right now we are just a tad bit more talented then bama on defense and it just needs to be unleashed. Not this cover 2,, don't let nothing behind you and get pressure with the front 4 crap. If we brought the house with Werner and Carradine last year we would've absolutely killed people back there. But that wasn't Stoops style and I think it was good for Jimbo to hire a guy that wants to put pressure on the offense. We may not have Pruitt but for 3 to 4 years because he has a talented roster and is relentless on the recruiting trail he has head coach written all over him.

I'm sure at #5 you mean Rashad Greene, as opposed to Christian Green.

I think Cam, Josue, & Tre are the top 3. Aguayo has to be up there. MEJ's there. I'd put Wilder+D-Free pretty high, as well. We're stacked at most of the other positions.

Yeah but then who do you have at corner? Waisome?? Not a very physical guy. Would you rather have the combination of Joyner and Karlos or Joyner and Waisome? Joyner and Karlos safety/cb tandem makes up an elite defense. Waisome/Joyner doesn't. This team NEEDS Karlos to step up. He is a playmaker and a gamechanger. Im not saying Karlos is better than Joyner by any means. But with his size, speed and athletic ability. If be can put it all together and learn the scheme he has the potential to be better than Joyner. You got to have your best 11 on the field and Karlos needs to be on the field at safety and Joyner would be our best corner if he moved there full time. Karlos is the missing piece to the puzzle. Look at how many turnovers the secondary created last year. Bend but don't break defense or not but 3 ints by our secondary isn't winning us a national title.

My top 5 most important would have to go with the OL. We just have too many concerns there still for my liking. I like our returning 4 though.

After that, I'd go.....

6. Greene

7. Joyner

8. MEJ

9. Jernigan

10. Jones

Offensive wildcard - Winston
Defensive wildcard - Los

Triple post. Stupid phone.

b/c I meant to put Christian Jones and not Green. Whoops.

1. Cam
2. Jackson
3. Matias
4. Stork
5. Jernigan
6. Jones
7. Edwards
8. Joyner
9. Aguayo
10. Beatty

If we win a MNC it will not be because the QB won it, it will be becoause our D & running game won it and our QB didnt lose it.
