Bammer of the Week


What follows is an email forwarded to me and some of my Auburn friends by a Bammer that he copied from Bama Online. Obviously to frighten and intimidate us as Auburn fans. With this type of objective analysis, WRAS can see why SPUAT is the favorite to win Super Bowl XLIII. Decide for yourself...
Here is some info that has been posted on BOL by an "insider". The guy has been spot on with everything else ever posted so I for one believe every word.
* Julio Jones probably will be starting opposite McCoy during the Clemson game. Julio is a physical freak of nature, and is actually bigger than Jack linebacker, Alex Watkins. Julio had only one weakness coming into the summer. That was getting off the press. Now he has that down packed, his only weakness is..........well, actually nothing....
* B.J. Scott is the real deal in the slot. He caught a pass in 7 on 7 the other week and split the defense and left everyone in the dust. He has been compared to a mixture of David Palmer and Freddie Milons, but explosive like Prothro. He should end up being the best out of that bunch, and that's saying a lot.
* Mark Barron is quiet. He's like Silent Bob. lol. He's said to be walking around the complex with an angry look on his face, because he can't hit anybody yet. He's said to have reported in around 220, and they wanted him to lose weight, and he's reported to be at around 205.
* Alonzo Lawrence is awesome. A freakish athlete. He can cover anybody out there, and that's without technique. Once Saban gets a hold of him and work with him.....watch out. Expected to be a starter by mid-season.
* Robbie Green is small. Maybe around 5'9. Probably will need a redshirt year to bulk up.
* Dontae Hightower is huge, and the thought of two 260 pound linebackers in the middle of that defense is scary.
* Marcel Dareus is absolutely a monster. Saw him yesterday, and he is all solid. Nothing fat about him. He was weighing in at 301. He's standing at around 6'3, no taller than 6'4. He should be playing early and often, and is a very personable individual with a hell of a work ethic.
* Courtney Upshaw is impressive. Expected to play as a freshman.
* Damien Square's arms are HUGE and ripped up!! Getting stronger in the weightroom and is Dareus's workout partner. Everyone calls him Square.
* Jerrell has is every bit of 6'3, and he looks intimidating. He should nail down the SAM position by the end of camp. H e looks like an upper classmen.
* Matchett has nice size on him and is every bit over 200 pounds and is solid standing at around 5'10.
* Mark Ingram is built like a race horse. He will be a 20+ carry a game back.
* Star Jackson is expected to be the #2 quarterback by the end of camp. He is said to be smooth in the pocket and has lots of confidence. Only time will tell.
* Wesley Neighbors is built like a rock, and is expected to be force at least on special teams.
* Tyler Love is expected to compete for the right tackle spot in camp. Drew Davis has added good weight and improved over the spring. But it's unsure if he'll be able to hold down the fort at RT.
* Barrett Jones needs to add lots of weight. Athletic, but small.
* Terrance Cody has a very impressive work ethic. He's doing well.
* Chris Jordan is a physical specimen. He's working out at RB, and that's where he wants to be, but it's just a matter of time, before he's on the other side of the ball.
* Michael Williams will be a beast. Very raw talent. Something special to watch in the future. Said to look like Juwan Simpson in the face. lol.
Now for updates on current players
* Mike McCoy is a first class individual and Saban absolutely loves him
* No signs of Johnathon Lowe
* Nick Walker is taking a very serious approach to his last year and is said to have matured a lot. * Expect big things from Justin Woodall. All of the "negative influence" that he was hanging around has graduated, and he's on a mission to prove himself.
* Marquise Maze is not only quick, but is said to be the 3rd fastest player on the team behind Terry Grant and Rashard Johnson.
* Glenn Coffee is 100%, and is weighing in at 203. He wants to play at 215. Shoulder is fine.
* John Parker-Wilson should have a much better season this year. It was said that Applewhite screwed him up last year, and all of the kinks are being worked out. So expect a better season from him this year.
* Andre will be a top 5 pick next April. Caldwell a late 1st rounder.
* Darius Hanks catches everything thrown his way. No questions asked.
* Colin Peek will be something special to watch next year. Like Hanks, he doesn't drop anything.
* Prince Hall's issue is just simply "trust". Has a lot of proving to do.
* Josh Chapman will be a monster this year.
* Greenwood has added major weight.
* Talks of Zo moving from the nose to the end, cause Chapman and Cody will probably hold down the middle.
* Don't count out McCollough.
* Don't count out Ali Sharief. Can flat out fly and won't be denied.
* McElroy seems very excited to be at Bama and is a great guy. Talks of a transfer should be silenced.
* Cory Reamer is coming along. Don't count him out just yet.

Holy crap, everyone on their team is amazing. They're all huge and muscular and fast. Why do they have to even bother playing those trivial little things in the fall called football games? Everyone should just be bowing down to the team and their master, Saban.
They've got guys on the offensive line that can apparently singlehandedly block and entire defensive blitz scheme. They've got receivers that will catch the ball every single time. (Side notes: What does it mean that they catch it "no questions asked"? Were receivers asking Saban if they HAD to catch the ball last year? Also, what if the receiver doesn't fully understand the play or the route? Shouldn't he be asking questions so he can learn?) How can defenders get an interception on a SJPW overthrown ball if the receiver catches EVERYTHING?
Congratulations to BJ Scott on catching that ball. Must be proud of him for doing what they're paying him to do.
Apparently Mark Barron is a fat, slow, white guy that directs hilarious movies. Should be fun to watch.
The thought of watching two 260 lb linebackers chase down Kodi Burns, Ben Tate, Mario Fannin, and Pierre-Louis is making me smile.
Bammers are so clever that they nicknamed Damien Square by calling him by his last name...something every middle schooler in the country does on a daily basis.
Mark Ingram runs on 4 legs and has a large penis.
