SMYKLO ETAL 3,148,707 AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC BUFFER Filed March 23, 1962 2 Sheefs-Sheet 2 United States Patent 3,148,707 AUTOMATHI HYDRAULIC BUFFER Alexander Smyklo, Union City, Calif., and George B. Schiidroth, Manchester, N.H., assignors to the United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force Filed Mar. 23, 1962, Ser. No. 182,148 2 Claims. (Cl. 138-31) This invention relates to hydraulic apparatus and, more specifically, to an accumulator or buffer used on such apparatus. Many installations of hydralic apparatus of various types include hydraulic pumps to supply high pressure fluid for driving various hydraulic motors and actuating devices. On much apparatus of this type it is practically impossible to balance the output of the pumps to the variable demands of the motors or other fluid powered devices. A common means for absorbing surplus fluid when the pump output momentarily exceeds demand, and for supplying needed fluid when demand momentarily exceeds pump output is to place an accumulator or butter into the hydraulic conduit between the pump and the fluid using devices. Such accumulator or buffer is normally T connected to the fluid carrying conduit. A buffer, of the type to which this invention pertains, may have a floating piston in a cylinder. That portion of the cylinder on one side of the piston is in communication with the hydraulic fluid, and that portion of the cylinder on the opposite side of the piston is charged with a gas at a pressure comparable to the normal operating pressure of the hydraulic system. It is thus noted that when pump output momentarily exceeds demand, the surplus fluid will be absorbed into the hydraulic end of the butter cylinder while moving the floating piston and further compressing the gas. During the subsequent operation of the apparatus, the gas in the buffer which became compressed to an above normal pressure will tend to purge the buffer of surplus fluid in order to pro duce a pressure balance between the gas side and the hydralic side of the floating piston within the buffer. In like manner, when demand momentarily exceeds pump output and there is a drop in hydraulic pressure, the entrapped gas, which is now at a higher pressure than hydraulic line pressure, will move the floating piston and thereby supply needed fluid to the fluid using devices. During the subsequent operation of the apparatus, hydraulic fluid will re-enter the buffer until there is a pressure balance on the floating piston. It is necessary to provide seal rings on the piston to prevent an interchange of fluid and gas. Little difficulty is encountered in preventing ring leakage during normal operation sincethere is little, if any, pressure differential across the rings. However, when the apparatus is shut down an the hydraulic pressure decays, the pressure differential across the rings and resultant leakage of gas into the hydraulic system becomes a severe problem. It is, accordingly, the primary object of this invention to provide a means for preventing the escape of the gas in a gas charged buffer into the hydraulic system of a hydraulic apparatus during shut-down. It is another object of this invention to provide a means for reducing the pressure differential across the seal rings on the floating piston of a hydraulic buffer during shutdown in order to prolong ring life. It is a further object of this invention to provide a valve means for preventing the entire escape of the fluid Within a hydraulic buffer. It is yet another object of this invention to provide a means for accomplishing the above objectives without interference with a normal operation of the buffer. Additional objects, advantages and features of the invention reside in the construction, arrangement and combination of parts involved in the embodiment of the invention as will appear from the following description and accompanying drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of the hydraulic buffer T connected at one end to a hydraulic fluid conduit and connected at the other end to a source of high pressure FIG. 2 is a partial section of the body member and piston, and showing the valve plug against its seat to entrap hydraulic fluid during shut-down; and FIG. 3 is a partial section similar to FIG. 2 and showing the arrangement of the elements during normal operation of the hydraulic apparatus. Referring to FIG. 1, the buffer referred to generally as 14) has a housing or body member 11 containing a closed end cylinder 12, which houses a free floating piston 14 adapted for dividing the cylinder into two end chambers 13 and 15. Chamber 13 is adapted for use as a high pressure air or gas chamber, and chamber 15 is adapted for use as a hydraulic fluid chamber. The piston is provided with ring sealing means for preventing the leakage of fluid or gas from one end chamber into the other, while at the same time permitting axial movement of the piston. The sealing means consists of a continuous O ring 16 and an 0 ring 18 which is served to provide a small gap 20 for a purpose to be hereinafter described. Both rings 16 and 18 are preferably neoprene or similar nonmetallic ductile material. The chamber 15, which forms the hydraulic end of buffer 10, has an orifice 23 which is T connected to hydraulic fluid conduit 22 by means of conduit 24. It is presumed that conduit 22 is carrying hydraulic fluid from a pump not shown to a hydraulic motor not shown and that the fluid flow is in the direction indicated by the arrows. The opposite, or gas chamber 13 end of cylinder 12 has a closed end containing an orifice 27 which is connected to a source of high pressure gas or air 26 by means of conduit 28. It is noted on FIG. 1 that the gas pressure is always acting against piston 14, and that the hydraulic fluid is free toenter or leave chamber 15, the direction of flow being dependent upon whether or not the hydraulic fluid pressure is greater or less than the pressure of the gas. A static flow condition exists when there is a pressure balance across the piston. Referring more specifically to FIG. 3, the housing or body member 11 may be made of pipe or tubing having one end closed by Welded or threaded means to provide a closed end. Or, body member 11 may be made of a casting having an integrally closed end, or a closed end which is bolted in place or otherwise joined in various manners well known to the art. The hydraulic end of cylinder 12 is openably closed with an end member or plug 30 having external threads 32 which engage corresponding internal threads in cylinder 12. A valve seat 34 having an externally threaded shank 36 engages a correspondingly threaded bore in end member 30. The internal end of valve seat 34, which also provides orifice 23, has a spherical seat faced with a facing 3%. Facing 38 may be made of soft ductile metal such as copper, aluminum or gold; or of plastic, and may be joined to valve seat 34 invarious manners well known to the art. The use of a facing such as facing 38 is not absolutely necessary, but is desirable under certain conditions to assure a readily obtainable leak-proof closure upon shut-down. A plurality of bosses 46 project from the inner face of end plug 30. The bosses are of uniform height and limit the movement of the piston during shut-down in a manner and for a purpose to be hereinafter explained. If desired, other means such as an integral ring joined to end plug 34, or a plurality of pins may be substituted for bosses 40. Likewise, the piston travel limiting means may be on the piston itself, rather than on the end plug. Sealing means well known to the art may be provided to prevent the escape of hydraulic fluid. The buffer 1% may be joined to the hydraulic system by means of a tubing connection, a manifold, or any desired method, such method of joining not constituting a part of this invention. The hydraulic end face of piston 14 contains a threaded counterbore which is coaxial with valve seat 34 and which threadably receives retainer cup 42. A ball of valve plug 44, of steel or other suitable material, has joined thereto a rod or stem 46. A suitable compression spring 4-8 is brazed or otherwise joined to a face of washer 50. Ball 44 with attached stem 4-6, compressionspring 48 with attached washer 5t? and retainer cup 42 are assembled into a sub-assembly by placing the free end of the spring onto the ball in such manner that stem 46 passes through a bore in washer 5i Washer 56 is received within bore 52 of retainer cup 4-2 while stem 46 passes through bore 54 in the end of cup 42 where it is retained by retainer washer 56 which is riveted or otherwise joined to the free end of stem 46. After washer 56 is joined to stem 46, the ball or valve plug 44 is slidably retained for axial movement within cup 42 and biased outwardly by compression spring 48. The sub-assembly is threadably joined to the hydraulic end of piston 14 by means of a pin spanner wrench engaging holes 58 in retainer cup 42. Retainer washer 56 moves axially within counterbore 66 when ball 44 moved against spring 4%. Although the valve plug used in the embodiment of the invention shown and described was a ball, the plug could be made in other forms such as conical or elliptical. During operation of the hydraulic apparatus to which the buiier is joined, the floating piston assumes a position as shown on FIG. 1 and H6. 3. During shut-down, the floating piston will assume a position as shown on FIG. 2 with the ball 44 engaging valve seat 34. As shown on FIG. 3, a portion of the hydraulic fluid is entrapped in the butter. The entrapped fluid will be at the same pressure as the gas acting on the other side of the piston. Gap 2% in ring 18 permits the area between the seal rings to assume the same unit pressure as that of the chambers at each end of the piston, with a resulting zero pressure differential across the rings. pressure across the rings assures long ring life. Bosses 49 on end plug 3% are a protective means, in case of leakage during shut-down, for preventing sufficient piston travel to cause the valve plug on the seat to support the entire force of the applied gas on the other side of the piston, and thereby damage the valve mechanism. It is noted that the bosses 40 may be eliminated by making cup 42 of greater depth, thereby permitting further movement of ball 44 into the cup, in order that the face of the piston will engage the inner face of end plug 36 before the plug reaches the inner limit of its permissible axial movement. It is further noted that the amount of fluid entrapped on shut-down will be determined by the length of stem 46 which controls the position of the piston at the time the ball plug engages its seat. If desired, valve seat 34 may be installed into the closed end of housing 11, in which case the open end of the cylinder would become the gas end. When such arrangement is used, piston travel limiting means such as bosses 46 may be attached to the end of the piston. It is to be understood that the embodiment of the present invention as shown and described is to be regarded as illustrative only and that the invention is susceptible to variations, modifications and changes within the scope of the appended claims. We claim: 1. A hydraulic buffer comprising: a body member, an open end cylinder within said body member, an end member for openably closing the open end of said cylinder, a floating piston within said cylinder, said piston being axially movable within said cylinder and adapted for dividing said cylinder into opposing end chambers, sealing means on said piston, said sealing means comprising a plurality of ductile non-metallic rings adapted to prevent leakage from one of said chambers into the opposing Y chamber, an orifice communicating with each end of said The zero differential cylinder, at least one of said orifices being coaxial with said cylinder and passing through said end member, a valve seat communicating with said coaxial orifice, and a valve plug subassembly coaxial with said cylinder and said valve seat, and comprising a retainer cup having external threads engaging a threaded counterbore in the end of said piston with the bottom of the retainer cup against the bottom of the counterbore, a ball valve plug, a stem joined to said ball valve plug and slidably passing through the bottom of said retainer cup, means joined to said stem for retaining said stem in said retainer cup, and a compression spring disposed over said stem and nesting on said ball valve plug to axially bias said ball valve plug from the face of said piston. 2.

5 reviews for Solar Fire Tomato
Summer of 2014 was the first year for growing these amazing tomatoes…
I've tried just about every single tomato that Bonnie delivers and this and the Juliette were the first ones that I longed to eat. I grew up in Niagara Falls – the fruit belt of Ontario. Every Summer, the farmers would load their trucks with the day's pickings and mum would always buy bushel baskets of tomatoes…
I was always looking for tomatoes that reminded me of the ones I'd had in my childhood and, until now, none ever did. I never intentionally purchase determinate plants and didn't realize that Solar Fire is so, I didn't properly plant it… too close to my other tomatoes and I did not provide enough support to this stocky plant.
The plants grew so fast and so huge that the stocks broke – MY FAULT… The tomatoes were ready before most of the other types I'd planted. The fruits were ginormous, the skins thin and the flesh tender and juicy…In the past, I've purchased at least 6 new varieties each year…. Summer of 2015, we will only be planting Solar Fire and Juliette…
I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

Analyst: 'Google Tunes' could be next iTunes competitor
Google may be looking to launch a digital music store that would compete with Apple's iTunes, according to one Wall Street analyst. Robert Peck of Bear Stearns predicts that the search engine giant will roll out such a service within the next six months.
"We believe that Google is in the midst of creating its own iTunes competitor, which we've dubbed 'Google Tunes.' We think this is a logical step, now that the nascent Google Video product has been introduced," Peck wrote in a research note sent to clients Thursday. "We would expect Google to rollout a Beta service within 3 to 6 months. We note that Google has not confirmed our expectations, and that our thinking is based on Mosaic theory. However, we do think this fits with Google's recent moves and its ultimate goal of organizing the world's information."

I can't wait! Google Video Beta has been such a success!
Well, Google Video Beta v2 IS light years ahead… of Google Video Beta 1.
And all the videos are compatible… if you run Windows.
And they're all high quality… if you watch on a 2" screen.

WOW! Is there anything that Google wont try to take over. I personally like Google's search engine, but from personally they hold down the end user when submitted a site to post on their search engine. They have sunk it in the groud and xed it from Google for no reason what so ever. I use itunes and love it, but i think that Google will make it a little better.

What has made Google a success in other areas of the internet doesn't translate well here. Google has been successful because they give stuff away to the end user for FREE. They make their money on advertising. It's kinda like your local TV or Radio station broadcast - if you can sit through the commercials, then it's free.
I don't know how you could make digital music downloads a free service supported by advertising. The business model just doesn't work. And to roll it out like Google Video would be laughable. Sure, there is some free stuff, but the pricing for the good stuff is all over the board, and people look at it, shrug after not being able to find what they want, and leave, never to return.
I just don't see Google being a credible competitor. Everyone out there keeps forgetting that it's iPod + iTunes that makes the Apple system work so well. They're as easy to use for music as AOL is for internet noobs. And that sells.

Regardless of how this "potential" program "might" work, Google is still the most powerful tool with regards to the internet. MOST POWERFUL. Need a source? Your trusty site iLounge has Ads by Google right next to the little box I am currently typing in. :)
So I think everything from now on for Google is just icing on the cake. Like Microsoft, they don't have as much hunger because they are already so powerful. Its a shame companies get like this…

The passionate romance that began in Sacred concludes in Splendor.
Scarlett loves the touch of her boyfriend, Will. But when he leaves Catalina Island to start college on the East Coast, she wonders whether their passion can survive a long-distance relationship?and whether she can face the home front on her own. Scarlett's senior year should be a breeze, but her parents have recently separated, and her already-wild best friend, Lily, is becoming involved with a dangerous boy named Gunner . . . a boy Scarlett is also attracted to. A boy she doesn't want to be?and shouldn't be?attracted to.
To take her mind off her troubles, Scarlett focuses on caring for her newly pregnant mare and delving deeper into the Kabbalah. Her religious exploration offers a way to stay connected to Will, who is a Kabbalah mystic, and a key to understanding her disturbing dreams about him. But as she gets wrapped up in her mare, her Kabbalah studies, and her conflicting feelings for Will and Gunner, Scarlett misses the warning signs that lead to a heartbreaking loss.

Editors' Review
+Wise Data Recovery is a fast, sleek data recovery program, but before you get your hopes up you should know that a large percentage of deleted files it does detect cannot be restored. Still, if you're in the type of dire straits that you need this program, it's definitely worth trying.
When you install Wise Data Recovery, be aware that it auto-checks boxes to download other programs. Uncheck these if you don't want the extras. Once installed, the program lets you scan your hard drive or an external drive for deleted files. It checks to see if they're still hanging around on your hard drive or if they've been deleted for good. You can organize the files it finds by directory, by likelihood of recovery, by file size, or by the date they were last modified. Wise Data Recovery found about 52,000 files on a drive and did it in a matter of seconds. Sadly, about 40 percent of the files were unrecoverable or "poor," which means there's a low chance of getting them back. Luckily, most of the "good" files were picture and video files -- the stuff you'd probably be looking for. You can recover multiple files at once, but you can't save them to the drive they came from. The program's clean, stylish menu makes it easy to find and select the exact file you're looking for.
Wise Data Recovery looks good and works very fast, finding important video and photo files and other important documents. It will only take a couple minutes of your time to see if this app can recover the deleted files you're looking for, so there's no harm in giving it a shot.
Publisher's Description
+Wise Data Recovery, another excellent freeware from WiseCleaner.com, is able to recover various data in various devices.

Every user can enjoy free use, update, and technical support about it. It runs on Win XP/7/8/Vista (both 32 bits and 64 bits).

FOXBORO -- Football shares this much in common with baseball - control the middle and you control the game. Good defense runs up the spine. Any cliche you want to use, football and baseball are brothers in that regard.
Forget for a moment how nearly perfect Tom Brady has been this preseason. If the Patriots can control the middle of the field and consistently get a pass rush like the one their starting defense showed Friday night against Tampa Bay, the Patriots could actually be the unstoppable force they were in their Super Bowl years.
On their very first defensive snap of the night, run-stopper Brandon Spikes showed he can actually get to the quarterback and brought Josh Freeman to the Field Turf of Gillette Stadium.
It would be the first of three sacks in the opening quarter for the Patriots defense and the first of two for Spikes.
The most encouraging part of this development were not the sacks themselves but what led to them. The Patriots secondary, burning in the preseason opener against Philadelphia early and often, covered Mike Williams and Kevin Ogletree well.
Even without Devin McCourty calling signals in the secondary Friday, they didn't leave any running backs wide open in the flats. Everything was covered and all Freeman could do was stand back in the pocket and take the punishment Spikes and the defense were all too willing to dole out.
What's the key to it all? Listen to Bill Belichick and he'll tell you that it all starts with good communication.
"I think it is at really all those positions down the middle: safety, middle linebacker, center, quarterback," Belichick said in his conference call Saturday. "A big part of each of those jobs is communication, working with other people beside you and in front of you, being able to control things from the middle of the field by calls or adjustments or whatever decisions that those respective people have to make.
"That's a part of all of those spots. Absolutely, that comes into play. You really can't play those positions if you aren't able to effectively do those things."
Since Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi retired before the 2009 season, the Patriots have been in search for the next great communicator on defense. Those Patriots of the 2000s weren't just oozing in leaders, they had talkers all over the place. Harrison, Bruschi, Vrabel, Law, Milloy and the list goes on. But the heart was the defense up the middle.
Vince Wilfork, arguably one of the three most dominant interior defensive linemen in the NFL, is too busy taking on double and triple-teams in the trenches. Patrick Chung never really grew into that role and was dispatched after last season.
But with the arrival of Jerod Mayo in '09, the linebacking corps started to respond to his calls and leadership.
Devin McCourty started out as a corner but seems ideally suited for safety with his knowledge and feel for the secondary, not to mention his ball-hawking skills.
And in Adrian Wilson, the Patriots have someone they hope can become the same fierce hitter over the middle that Harrison was. Add in Steve Gregory, Nate Ebner, Duron Harmon and Tavon Wilson, and you have a corps of safeties who are smart and can communicate.
"I think they're all good," Belichick added. "I think part of the difference is obviously confidence and experience. Guys that have done it before, guys that are sure of what they're doing, can not only make the right decision, but do it with a confidence that everybody immediately reacts to – a decision that is pretty much final.
"There are other times where you can make the right call, do the right thing, but if it isn't done with that high level of confidence or sincerity, then that can lead to some indecision even if it's the right thing. You know how that goes. The confidence you have that comes from experience and doing things right repetitively and knowing that they're right, you can be more confident in doing it, that's conveyed to the other people that you're working with. That's part of the process that we're going through."
As the Patriots have given their young secondary and linebacking corps to come of age, the Patriots have - not surprisingly - been ranked in the bottom third of the NFL in yards allowed, 25th in 2010, 31st in 2011 (one win from a Super Bowl title) and 25th last year (one win from another Super Bowl appearance). The Patriots have made up for that deficiency with great red zone play and the greatest eraser of them all - Tom Brady.
What Belichick made clear Saturday, a day after watching his first-team defense hold Tampa Bay scoreless and making life miserable for Josh Freeman.
"Even if you mean to do the right thing, if you don't have conviction about it, everybody else isn't necessarily sure it is the right thing," Belichick said. "So that's all part of it. But I think they all have done that. They've all – Tavon, even Nate Ebner, they've improved a great deal from last year. Adrian has come in here and picked it up. Steve [Gregory] and Devin were here. Duron did that in college and he's gotten increasingly better and better at it pretty much every time he steps on the field. So I think they're all improving."
We've heard for two years now that this young Patriots defense is about to come of age. Now, can they cover?

With a Range Officer in your hand, you now have the right to yell, "Commence Firing!!!" whenever you get to the line. I'd like to hear what you think of the sights, which have no little white dots.
So here I am firing my new Range Officer for the first time. She was a dream to shoot and I was hitting consistently lower left of center throughout the day. I ran about 200 rounds through her without a hitch.https://www.dropbox.com/sh/652mawaxuzdwvm6/jg3RW3x23H

Forum editorial: Prairie roses
PRAIRIE ROSES: To Moorhead Mayor Del Rae Williams and others, who are thinking with a measure of vision about the future of the city. The "Uptown" idea floated last week is one indication that Moorhead leaders and others are serious about, if not rebranding the city, at least developing a unique identity that is both business-friendly and attractive to old and new residents.

The industry-wide results were just below forecasts and cooler than the scorching rate of sales set in August.

Most of you know RoboCop as one of those movies -- like Network or The Fifth Element -- that rotates endlessly on late-night cable TV.
But buried beneath the shoot-outs, car chases and pre-CGI stop-action animation is a cogent, bitter critique of American capitalism, and the dystopia it could possibly produce.
More than that, RoboCop asked a sophisticated philosophical question about the role of technology in medicine: How much of a human being's physical body can be removed before a person stops being a human?
MGM has slated a remake of RoboCop, but as the original star, Peter Weller, recently told a Los Angeles audience, it won't likely reproduce the morality at the heart of the original.
Nor its macroeconomic analysis.

The shine in a gloss without built-in protection can actually act like a magnifying glass, attracting rays and intensifying their burning power, says Adrienne Denese, an NYC MD and founder of Dr. Denese skincare products.

Recent Moultonborough reviews
"The ambiance is that of a home where many good family memories have been made. Great house for families with the ping pong table and basketball backboard and games to play. Kitchen is well equipped although the microwave was a bit tricky. Wonderful view, quiet, beautiful surroundings. Restaurants and activities close by in Ctr Harbor and Meredith."
"Our vacation at Lee's Pond was everything we had hoped it would be and more. Relaxing on the deck overlooking the pond, one experiences an endless display of beauty and serenity with the light constantly changing, loons calling out from across the way, and herons diving for fish. With no motor boats allowed, this serenity is uninterrupted. As described, the cabin has basic necessities and worked well for just the two of us. While tucked away on a back road, one is only ten minutes from good restaurants, grocery stores and a farmer's market. We enjoyed several meals right at the cottage with our "catch of the day." The owners provide excellent communication about both the cottage and the area and make sure the cottage is clean with fresh towels and linens provided. We very much look forward to returning."

Given I have two models: company
and location
. A company
has many locations
I found Ryan Bates' Named Routes very interesting.
So I added resources for each of my model in routes.rb
resources :companies
resources :locations
This enables me to generate links based on named routes like <%= link_to "Companies", companies_path %>
which results in http://localhost:3000/companies
Now I want to filter the list of locations
based on the company
they belong to. Before working with named routes I accomplished this by add a link like the following.
<%= link_to "Locations for this company", { :controller => 'locations', :action => 'list', :company_id => company.id } %>
Here I pass the company_id
to the LocationsController
which filters the location in its list
def list
@locations = Location.order("locations.id ASC").where(:company_id => @company.try(:id))

Business was taking up broadband technology at a rapid rate but small and regional firms were lagging behind those in the city, a new survey has found.
The study conducted last month by the Australian industry Group (AiG) found business broadband uptake was around the levels of other comparable countries.
"There was also strong evidence in the report that connection to advanced telecommunications provided real business advantages," AiG chief executive Bob Herbert said.
"But at the same time it highlighted that many smaller businesses and businesses in regional areas are yet to understand these competitive benefits."
One-third of businesses not using the technology indicated they would do so within the next year.
But most of the accelerated uptake would come from large and medium firms, increasing the technology gap between smaller and regional businesses.
This posed major policy challenges for the government, Mr Herbert said.
"From a policy perspective, the government will not only need to improve access to new technology but also turn around these perceptions and generate an understanding of broadband's contribution to business performance through efficiency and productivity," he said.
"The trend for some businesses to resist this new technology and lag behind may inhibit the growth of small and regional companies if these perceptions are not addressed."
The use of advanced telecommunications among Australian manufacturing firms is at 58 per cent and is expected to increase to 72 per cent in the next year.
Telstra leads the market in terms of retail provision and ownership of infrastructure, the survey found.

Is atheism a religion?
Looked objectively it seems to be these days.
It has a creation myth - Evolution.
It has multiple philosophies - for example: life sucks and then you die. Or if you like, eat drink and be merry for tommorow you die.
It has an 'afterlife' belief - either oblivion or 'rejoining the life force.'
It definitely has followers and zeolots.
What do you think ? Agree/Disagree and why.
But watch out for the kicker - if you agree it's a religion, then by current US laws it's illegal to 'preach' it in public schools and college.
P.S. As a matter of curiosity can anyone explain to me the difference between an intangible lifeforce and a Deity that's 'everywhere and nowhere?"

Crimson Countdown: Chris Black
By Alex Scarborough
During the summer, TideNation will analyze each of the scholarship players on the Alabama roster -- excluding the Tide's 2013 recruiting class -- in our Crimson Countdown series. Starting with No. 1
Dee Hart
, we will go through the roster numerically, finishing with No. 99
Brandon Ivory
No. 5
Chris Black
Redshirt freshman wide receiver
While Amari Cooper starred as a freshman, wide receiver Chris Black (in crimson) had to sit out with a shoulder injury.
Expectations for 2013:
For a guy who didn't play a single down last season, Black has some high expectations. Most of the hopes pinned to the speedy wideout from Jacksonville, Fla., can be traced to last spring, when he entered camp alongside fellow freshman
Amari Cooper
. Black, who was rated slightly higher than Cooper by most recruiting services, wowed the Alabama coaching staff and appeared poised to make an instant impact on offense. Instead, he hurt his shoulder, missed the season and watched from the sideline as Cooper set all kinds of rookie records. Now he's back and eager to prove the hype was worth something.
Best-case scenario:
If he can stay healthy -- a legitimate concern when competing at 5-foot-11 and 182 pounds in the SEC -- Black has the tools to be a special player for offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier. He's lightning quick, runs good routes and has the kind of hands that cradle the ball as if it were tossed as lightly as an egg at Easter. Given
Chrisiton Jones
' troubles catching passes, stabbing the ball as opposed to cradling it at times, there's a chance Black could leap up the depth chart and steal the job as the starting slot receiver.
Worst-case scenario:
Of course, there's more to it than raw talent. Black has the tools, but he has to show he can handle the intangibles as well: grasping the offense, developing a rapport with
AJ McCarron
and blocking downfield. If he does those things and can find a way off the trainer's table, he'll be in good shape.
Future impact:
Because of the medical redshirt last season, Black has a full four years of eligibility remaining. He and Cooper have the chance to form what could be a devastating combination at receiver for years to come. He will, however, deal with some intense competition at the position as Alabama has continued to recruit very well, pulling in the No. 2 wideout in the 2013 class in
Robert Foster
and a guy in
Raheem Falkins
who looks like a diamond in the rough.
