Elijah Staley is a beast

[dotcomdawg]

Dak is a fairly large guy. Staley dwarfs him in this video. I think he's got the potential to be the next Newton under Dan's tutelage.

I hope he's going 3/4 speed. Looks like his feet are in cement.

I think a lot of the perceived size difference is a function of the camera being closer to ES.

Science bro

All you really need to look at is the shadow.**

With the right camera perspective, Dylan Favre can be 6'.

lingering knee injury. He's not 100%

I hope he's going 3/4 speed. Looks like his feet are in cement.

Camera angle plus the fact he is listed at 4 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier than Dak ...

 

[57stratdawg]

He's probably 4 inches and 30+lbs bigger than Dak.

I'm more interested in where that short pass ended up being caught as compared to Dak's.

 

[MarkDallas]

He still looks awkward with his motions. Notice how Dak keeps his eyes downfield the whole time while Staley glances down.

Yea why would they Vine that pass? It was horrible

Just when I thought Adidas couldn't get any worse... GREEN JERSEYS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It's not even St Patrick's Day.

I think this went over everyone's head*

He looks like quite the beast, but more in the vein of JaMarcus Russell. He just doesn't look all that agile in that vine, that could be because he is taking it easy during practice, but I hope he can really spin the pigskin and get it to the 3rd and 4th progressions because that dude isn't going to be juking anybody.

He is going to be a HUGE load got bring down in short yardage situations though. I hope he has a fire in his belly for winning and isn't afraid to take a hit.

BEAT LA! BEAT LA!

ES clearly has no body control and lanky movement, as this video shows. No chance he makes it in the SEC.**

He is a imposing figure on the sideline. I've noticed him during games. He sticks out.

 

[hatfieldms]

I laughed

[Uncle Ruckus]

You must not have watched him dance on the sidelines last year.

I agree. I'm by no means passing any type of final judgment on Staley based on a single vine on the first day of practice, but everything about that - footwork, throwing mechanics, accuracy - sucked... Really bad.

Looks very Relfish**

Let me qualify this remark by saying (a) I love Chris Relf. The guy is a hero in my book because of what he did to Ole Miss, and because he was a gamer; and (b) you can see ES is favoring his knee. I think he is at 3/4 speed at best in this vine.

Funny how so many have spent 2 years claiming Staley is the next Cam Newton and now after one Vine of one pass, with his knee still not 100%, are picking apart every detail. I still think Fitzgerald will wind up starting the next 3 years, but Staley is still just a freshman, and hasn't really been through much practice at all. I'm hoping to see a real QB competition this fall and next spring.
