When is the last time you saw an Auburn CB go for the ball? They’ll be running through his legs so he ends up on his head.

Jack Hunt was a white guy who played safety for Saban on his 2003 championship squad. Around the same time, he recruited another white kid, Craig Steltz, to LSU. Steltz was a pretty important player on last season’s team, also a safety, and I think he started every game. Both of those guys were probably quicker than they were fast, but had good game speed, read the ball well, and hit hard. Guys like that will always have a place in defensive backfields, provided they have good coaching.

Unless white DBs have an incredible vertical leap and great speed, they are dead in the water. Know many of those?

Here’s another pic just released of another great Julio catch:

Nope, those two guys are black…

Angie Harmon would like to talk to you about white db’s.

@27:

If any AU linemen try and chop T. Cody, I hope the chopper has his affairs in order. The impending “Timber!”-like falling to Earth will, in effect, turn said lineman into a tub of goo.

#33,

Julio had a bad case of turf toe in the MS/AL All-Star game. Even with that he still was amazing.

#40,

First day of pads and a large storm came in. Weren’t going to pass up practice in pads, so they went in doors.

Look at the second photo. Are those two DBs white? Those two kids didn’t have a prayer against Jones.

I hate to sound racist about my own race, but we just should’t play at a CB or a saftey position. Unless we are going up against a slow, big, white TE.

does not matter if picture is tricked or not, I know JULIO is a member of the CRIMSON TIDE, and that is a good thing. Dont be fooled, ALLBURN wishes they had him

Nope, not photoshopped.

AU fans, check out the third shot. You had better hope that the 5′6 db’s on your team(the ones that didn’t get beaten up by a teammate) don’t end up looking like that…

The pic is from Rivals. The perspective may be a little distorted, but not photoshopped.

This picture is deceiving. That football was actually wedged up in the rafters and Julio jumped up and got it. The cameraman merely caught his final descent to earth.

First of all, THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING BLOG EVER. You guys are the best. Second, as an Alabama fan being ignored for about a decade, it’s nice to hear even haters talk about the program. Third, Jones has a documented 41 inch vertical. However, who wears cleats on astroturf? Looks like a shit storm to me.

Which one is correct? I can’t decide…

@ 40. You have answered your own question. Alabama is not technically part of America.
