Rookie DE Marquis Haynes is fuggin fast

I really expected him to go to a 3-4 team. He's definitely intriguing. I just hope we can figure out how to properly utilize him. At least Rivera has experience in both the 4-3 and the 3-4, though we haven't exactly seen this hybrid defense with elements of both schemes that he talked about upon his hiring. It seems we always get promised one thing, then fed the same old thing. Remember when drafting Shaq was going to allow us to play a little more base D? Yeah...

gotta admit, when we drafted him I couldn't understand what we were thinking.  

Now I understand.

Same.  Was a questionable draft pick in my mind, but the idea of him speed rushing right on by an OT, pushing the QB to step up into Poe/KK? Yes please.

Haynes being undersized has everything to do with his weight not his height.  He's 6'3''.

Yeah

Haynes is 6'3, but he did say post draft he was aiming to come into camp at 240-245

For comparison 

Vic Beasley is 6'3 245

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
