"I had seen them on TV and on tape, but I was down on the field before they played Arkansas," said one NFL team's chief talent evaluator. "They really look like an NFL team. You hear people say that, but with them it's true. That defense is huge, bigger than most NFL teams. Not just the linemen, but the cornerbacks, the linebackers, the safeties. And they can all run. That secondary. ... it's the best secondary I've ever seen in college football."</p>

Most college teams would be happy with one future NFL talent playing cornerback. Said one scout: "I think Alabama has three NFL cornerbacks. They can not only cover but they can tackle. They love to tackle."</p><h3>All will get an NFL chance</h3>

The consensus: Everybody on the Alabama defense will get a chance to play in the NFL. At least four are first-day draft picks. Six or seven might go as early as the first three rounds.</p>

Said a third scout, "You watch Alabama play and the speed of the defense is the same as the NFL. It looks like they've got too many people out there."</p>

And another: "It's like watching a pro team, except they are bigger than a lot of pro teams. You just wish you could take them all."</p>

It's sad when you get excited about a thread full of mortgage rate questions for no other reason than the fact that it's not yet another half pager about our 17ing uniforms. I have never in my life witnessed so many grown men who are that opinionated about how we look when we get the **** beat out of us.

The thing that I thought was new was the level of praise from 5 different pro scouts. I don't think I've ever seen a group of scouts be that high on a defense (or offense either for that matter). For an entire college unit to literally be NFL-caliber is pretty 17ing incredible.

He is talking about a team that we have yet to play this season. Sure it isn't the most interesting or new information about Bama but it does have interest for a lot of people on the board. Should we instead talk about maron blazers, Starkville vs Oxford town qualities, orthe gloryof a political science instructor apparently hoping for a spot on the next Blue Collar Comedy Tour?</p>
