Did Rees get left at the airport? Please say yes.

 

[Probius]

Maybe 3rd and Golding will finally work for us next weekend.

McClellan doesn’t need to see the field till he learns to block. That was pitiful attempt before he got pulled. Roydale is a much better natural RB.

Roydell played great. I would like to see Haynes but I don’t know if he is still nicked up. Although I know Miller is ahead of him.

 

[Saban4Ever]

It would help if Rees wasn’t hellbent on making this a passing team. I think he finally realized that in the 2nd half with Simpson. I honestly don’t know what to expect next week. I could see Lane beating us by 4 TDs. I can also see Golding having no answer for our run game.

I worry about ole miss too but they are only beating Georgia Tech 10-3 at the half so apparently they have issues too.

 

[CrimsonTitles]

Right now it’s Simpson or 4-6 losses. It’s obvious that Saban isn’t considering Lonergan with Sayin coming in, and Buchner is a practice hero.

That pretty much sums it up. I don't know yet if Ty can lead.us to the promise land, but I know Milroe can't. Going back to him would feel like giving up.

I think it’s this-
Team loves milroe
Tommy loves Buchner
Saban loves winning

I mean sure, but Saban is the HEAD COACH. What he says goes. I don’t care if the team loves Brandon Avalos, you play the BEST guy, period.

They also struggled with Tulane. The final score of that game is misleading.

Yeah, their issues are “looking ahead to Bama”

Don't feel great about our qb and OL situation going into Ole Miss week, but i was encouraged about Roydell and the defense. Glad to get the W

I think Haynes is going to be a beast

From CNS presser

“I think that’s an internal team thing,” Saban said. “I think that everybody has the opportunity to respond in the right way then things don’t go exactly like you want them to. We play the guys that practice the best all week long.”

This hints to me that JM is in the doghouse.

So did he lie? He said Simpson had the best week of practice. Then why didn’t he start? I don’t understand what’s going on. There has to be more to it. Perhaps there is a certain Netflix documentary in our future.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

Ty did a good job taking care of ball, but I think JM played we put two more TDs on the board.

or he throws a pick 6. No way of knowing how it would have played out.

Out of curiosity, how is NIL money managed? I assume Milroe has a fairly lucrative deal given he was QB1 at Alabama going into the season. Is that money paid up front or over time? Regardless, it has to put a great deal of pressure on young men. I could also see it creating a significant shoulder chip if getting benched negatively impacts your check.

Potentially, but if we're playing that game,.he'd probably have added a pick, as well.

Maybe Buchner played best in practice and Simpson played 2nd best. It's possible that Buchner looked good in practice but then not so much in the game.

 

[colbysullivan]

That’s the thing. We know Milroe’s ceiling is through the roof, but his floor is just too low. You can’t turn the ball over in Bama’s offense, you just can’t.

 

[colbysullivan]

Saban himself said Simpson had the best practice week according to another poster. It’s all very confusing.

Tulane ain’t a joke these days though

With respect, who cares? You either play for the love of the game and your school, or you don’t.
