Nfl's Roll The Tide Analysis
“The Browns roll the tide”

Let me come out and say it right off the bat, Alabama would never in a million years beat an NFL team. Quit it with the “ROLL TIDE” antics and come back to reality. The roster full of amateure boys would stand no chance against experienced professional men, the best of the best.

Let’s first analyze the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama is currently 14-0 and looking to win the national championship for the second year straight. Led by the number one ranked defense the Tide only allowed 16 touchdowns and an average of 244 yards against. Offensively the Tide averaged a stunning 460 yards per game and scored almost 40 points per game. With the number one defense and a top ten offense, it doesn't get much better.

There is a reason the 40 yard dash is the most talked about stat at the NFL combine. The NFL weeds out those who are too slow and separates the men from the boys. Those who play in the NFL are simply a different breed of man, the best athletes in the world.

Battle in the trenches:
Alabama has the best Defensive line in college football, but it's no match for the all star caliber offensive lineman that cleveland has. The Browns pride and joy is their captain and star player Joe Thomas. Likely headed to the Hall of fame, Joe Thomas has was selected to the pro bowl every year from 2007-2016. Alabamas pass rushers are some of the best to ever play college football, but the 10x pro bowler has seen it all and could likely do more than hold his own.

Skill positions:
The browns have no shortage of big name stars including: all pro receiver Terrelle Pryor, all pro corner Joe Haden and star tight end Gary Barnidge. These three all stars all on the field at the same time is something no other college team has. Alabama has never had to face so many players of this caliber at the same time. Teams in the NFL struggle to contain Pryor and Barnidge at the same time, now imagine a college trying to do that. I am confident that Joe Haden could shut down any of Alabamas receivers in man coverage with no

    There were much more threats on defense, averaging their opponents to about 10 points a game. It was very difficult to score on this defense, but if you do score on them, they’ll make sure you don’t come close to the endzone again. Their offense wasn’t as scary as their defense, but they did have some playmakers in Swann, Bradshaw, and Harris. This team having the best defense without a doubt that season and a playmaking offense, they would become…

    There is no doubt about it, both Theo Riddick and Ameer Abdullah will be a force for any defense to contend with they go up against this year. That being said, the Lions have yet to fill the role that was left open by Joique Bell. While Riddick is a target Matthew Stafford will look for coming out of the backfield all season long, he has yet to prove he can be counted on as a productive rusher.…

    It has been clear that coach Mason prefers size and length and Burks is another perfect example of why it can succeed in his defensive scheme. The Commodores ranked sixth in the nation in defensive third down conversion percentage, ahead of Alabama.

    Bob Stoops and the Oklahoma Sooners were on life support. After a disappointing 8-5 season, capped off with an embarrassing loss to Clemson, Bob Stoops was starting to feel the heat. So Stoops went out and made the best move of his career. He hired Lincoln Riley from ECU, and he gave the keys to his new offense to Baker Mayfield, the former walk on from Texas Tech. Many felt this would be a long recovery, but instead it was more like a shot of adrenaline. Oklahoma became the best team in the country, and now they are going to prove it in the playoff.…

    In 2005 the world had been introduced to one of the best collegiate running backs to ever go through the University of Southern California. His name is Reggie Bush and he achieved one of the best personal awards any collegiate football player could want and that would be the Heisman award. Reggie bush played running back for USC in 2005, he was 6 foot tall and weighed 200 pounds, and he played tailback as a sophomore in college and played in 13 games. He was named “Pigskin club of Washington D.C offensive player of the year.” He was also named the2004 PAC-10 offensive player of the year, “Then He was named the 2005 Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive year (just the fifth player ever so honored and the first non-quarterback to do it in 20 years) and also made the All-Pac-10 first team as a tailback (the squad's only unanimous pick) and second team as a punt returner.” Nor do I need to mention that he won the 2005 Heisman trophy award by a landslide. Bush received 2,541 points and beat Young by a staggering 93 points. Everybody knows that bush deserves the Heisman trophy whether they want to admit to it or not Bush was the best.…

    With the recent controversy and scandal surrounding the University of Colorado and the college football world, this off season has been one of the busiest ever. College Football has experienced an eye-opening revelation and these experiences call for major changes in the traditional recruiting practices. Last month, stories surfaced about the University of Colorado using sex, alcohol, and parties to lure blue chip recruits to their program. While these types of actions are prevalent at every major football program, this is the first time that they have been officially exposed. This exposure has started a chain-reaction of changes to the recruiting part of college football and has grabbed the attention of the United States Congress. The involvement of the most powerful government in the world shows the seriousness of the present situation and also that these inappropriate recruiting practices are not going to be ignored any longer. The face of college football will change dramatically and the results of this scandal will have a lasting impact for decades to come. For any person who follows college football and has a favorite team, this is an important issue because the traditional way that many of us have come to love, is about to disappear.…
