I think Dyer and Seastrunk will happen, but I'm more confident in Dyer signing than Seastrunk. Hard to read immaturity.

But...you seem to know yourself so well.. (Insert little stick pokey emoticon here)

With Ben Tate leaving after this year, were going to need a great running back to help out Fannin and Mcaleb. I think Dyer would be the big play threat we need.

Uhhh, even if Tate had 5 more years of eligibility, you guys would still need a great running back or two.

That wasn't a knock to Tate, dipshit. I'm not even going to hold last year against him because of your shit-tastic offense, so if you look at 07 he did pretty good. Especially with it being a RB-by-committee setup that year. Point being, your offense needs more than one good RB to help it out.

He actually hates me. He tells me that over and over while he scrubs the toilets and mops the kitchen floor in that little French maid outfit.

She better get it straight, if she knows whats good for her. I'll get Birmingham to put that shock collar that shocks her everytime she leaves the kitchen back on if she doesn't watch it.

I like Tate, think he's a good kid and works hard. But I'll tell you the same thing I said after I first saw him run the ball three years ago.

His strides are too short to ever be much more than a short-yardage guy. He does not have that extra gear when he gets to the open field. It was why he could never get to the corner last season and why the only way he'll be effective is if he's running down hill and you want to pound out five to fifteen yards at a time.

Uh...if we can average 5-15 yards per carry, I'll take it. And a championship.

I don't disagree with that. Tate was misused last season because Tony "I don't know shit about football but how to sell books to high school coaches" Franklin didn't have a clue how to put together an effective offense using the players in place.

I don't think he can average five yards per carry, that's not what I meant. Only that that range is the most you'll get out of him. He doesn't have the stride to be a breakaway back, even on the order of Moreno.

Ronnie Brown had shorter strides, too, but not nearly as short as Tate's. I know it's Alabama-ish to compare everything to one shining standard, but if you look at film of Bo and film of Tate, you'll see Bo covering ten yards in three strides. It takes Tate six to eight steps to cover the same. Even Kenny Irons could kick ten yards in about four steps.
