Really confused by the coffee decision as well gar ...huge draft for rb talent and it doesnt make sense to me when he would be more featured next year at bama with a new qb taking over there .. guess they lose some oline but damn that made little sense to me. Maybe he knows how good andre smith really is..........especially after the bowl game.

shonn Greene had to do it since he is so unreliable academically anyway and was more likely to split some carries next year than this past year .. dream season and future eligibility concerns.

dont understand the ogletree move at all.

Assume beanie after getting hurt again doesnt want to risk it. think he would have more value vs next years RB class though. shrug.

In regards to the Utes you mentioned I think Kruger ends up being better than Sean Smith. As you mentioned Smith doesn't have the lighting speed that is desired and many scouts have said that he'll play safety in the NFL. Not sure that's the best idea either as he's not a great tackler, but has improved a TON this year from last. Scout.com has him going late first round. Kruger on the other hand is a bit of a wildcard. He'll be a good speed rusher, but I don't think he'll be much more than that. I do think Austin Collie will make a great poss. WR in the NFL. He's got great size and great hands. Smith played him man during the rivalry game and he still got his #'s. The same couldn't be said for Jones in the Sugar Bowl. Obviously a bit of an advantage for Collie in the QB department. It's not like I want to pimp Colle though as he is from BYU.
