Go get me a juice box!
It's early. No doubt about that. But after reading through all the TC reports from the first 4 days, I hold much optimism for our DL this season, specifically at the DT spot. It's funny because a couple of weeks ago I would've said completely different. Back then there were things like we still hadn't drafted Wright and Vickerson looked like he'd never make it onto the training camp field.
Since then, Vickerson's looked like he's got his shhhhhhh together. Now before the crying incident, Manny Wright had been showing why he had so much potential and regarded as one fo the best DT in NCAA had he stayed in college. I especially like Manny's father's comment about how we should all look out - that Manny was a man to be reckoned with after shedding those tears.
I think the thing that intrigues me the most is that both guys have tremendous size ..........ala Daryl Gardener. Ya'll remember him? Hahahah Now Gardener was the same "project" that Vickerson is being considered. Both Wright and Vickerson possess size that when fully utilized, is simply unstoppable in the middle. I have visions of watching those too blow up plays the way Gardener did before he became the chain smokin', Jack Daniels-in-the-bath-tub shmuck he eventually morphed into. I could also envision them as a Stroud-Henderson combination like in JAX.
I'm being extremely optimistic with them obviously .............. but again training camp reports thus far have me likin' what Saban's brewin' at the DT spot. Lord knows we've got plenty of options at DE so the important cog is our tackles. I'm just glad we've got a guy like Saban to help mold a couple of monsterous potentials like Vickerson and Wright.
