4th and South - Fournette & Landry on WILD Nick Saban & Alabama recruitment, 2017 NFL draft RB class | 4th & South

We’re back, fresh cut, good vibes, and grateful for all the love; to kick it off we ran a blind rank of five backs and landed on Christian at one, Alvin at two, Mixon at three, Dalvin at four, and Ekeler at five, then laughed about instantly wanting to bump Dalvin higher.

That 2017 running back class still feels different, and we gave flowers to Kareem and especially Nick Chubb, who hardly talks but carried Cleveland like a pro’s pro.

On the CMC saga, do what you need to protect your career; the workload in Carolina was wild, and while I think San Francisco’s scheme and pieces unlocked him, Juice argued that a player like that changes any offense the moment he steps on the field.

Did Cincy miss Mixon? We said yes; his versatility eased the burden on Burrow, and without that every‑down hammer the offense lost balance.

We talked AK’s bond with New Orleans, how much he means to that city, and how the front office should do everything to keep him because his presence lifts the team and the town.

Recruiting stories time: Bama pulled out the lake ride and the pitch, but staying home made sense for me—family, culture, and being close to my daughter—while Juice remembered feeling brushed off at first, then leaving Tuscaloosa knowing he’d battle them for real.

We saluted that 2011 to 2012 LSU squad as one of the nastiest ever, with an argument it could beat the 2019 champions because it was stacked at every spot.

Our LSU running back Mount Rushmore rolled out as Kevin Faulk, Jeremy Hill, Derrius Guice, Joseph Addai, and Clyde Edwards‑Helaire, with respect to legends all around.

Spring ball talk led to wanting breakout years for Caden Durham and Harlem Berry, and a story about setting the tone in practice when Jamal Adams and I met full speed and earned mutual respect the hard way.

Speed memories popped up—the long one against Pittsburgh, that two‑minute drill feeling when you slice through the last wave—and the rookie Jags run to ten wins, plus a silly locker‑room dust‑up over Popeyes that cooled fast.

Indiana’s coach clowning gold cleats sparked a standards chat; if that is the program’s line, respect it, but in this NIL era there are always options if a kid wants a different fit.

We debated track’s value for football speed, tossed a friendly ten‑grand race bet, laughed at a baseball hypothetical, and I said I could pinch‑run and steal two bags today with timing and nerve.

F1 Miami is coming and I’m riding with McLaren—Lando and Oscar make it fun—while Juice wants to see Lewis, and we day‑dreamed about a Fourth and South x McLaren collab and argued colors like kids in a candy store.

Joe Flacco still wants to be QB1; we respect the fire, kicked around landing spots like New Orleans or maybe Atlanta, and weighed him against Jacoby as two pocket vets who can still run a team.

We might rip Pokémon packs on air and grade the hits for charity, then joked about a monster pull paying for a McLaren and immediately argued over the split like brothers.

That’s the show—appreciate every subscriber and comment; Fourth and South is outside soon, keep rocking with us and we’ll see you next episode.
