Eatin' well in Tuscaloosa

What the hell are they eating in Tuscaloosa?

Alabama's Terrence Cody, a 6-foot-4, 370-pound, run-stopping mass of humanity did not impress many folks at the Senior Bowl when he removed his shirt. Cody may have actually made people forget former Tide OL Andre Smith's jiggling, boob-bouncing 40-yard run at the NFL combine last year.

I don't see a single muscle in Cody's physique (he actually brings an entirely new meaning to Man Boobs), but let's be honest ... the guy can play. Still, did he do any training since the Tide won the BCS Championship on Jan. 7? I'd say he spent too much time here.

Not sure how much this will hurt him on draft day considering the Bengals didn't shy away from Smith. But it may cause the team that selects Cody to reconsider the menu at the rookie camp buffet line.

Pat White shows why he's an NFL QB

Every scout has a flaw.

Baseball scouts rely too heavily on radar guns. Football scouts rely to much on 40 times and 225 bench press reps. When it comes to evaluating future NFL quarterbacks, height and arm strength are the top two.

That's why they don't project West Virginia's Pat White as a pro quarterback. Then he apparently had a poor week of practice for the Senior Bowl. So what did he do in the game? Just took MVP honors and showed off a very strong and accurate arm.

Why can't the scouts look at his strengths? He's mobile. He's athletic. He's a winner. I know he's not Peyton Manning. But I'd bet he's a better pro than Vince Young or JaMarcus Russell.

So give me Pat White as my third stringer for a year and I'll bet he's No. 2 by Year 2. He'll be an outstanding back up and potentially a solid starter in the NFL. He's a new-breed Kordell Stewart. He just needs an opportunity.
