Understood......but he was on the team via a scholarship offered by the University. The University gave him a 2nd or 3rd chance and according to Saban he was following every protocol set forth by the team, so why punish him based on false statements? That's similar to an ex-con being convicted...
If its not true, Saban and Taylor have been crucified unjustly and he should be reinstated. UA decided to offer based on his past discretions not being settled in a court of law, and her recanting basically puts him back in the same situation. Is it right....not my call or anyone on this boards...
Re: Is coach Saban and Smart outsmarting themselves on defense?
If you look at the roster, I believe we are looking at the last of the hybrid DE/LB with Depriest leaving.
Well, he runs as if he doesn't trust his instincts which tells me there is zero confidence in himself. I mentioned this a few years ago, he doesn't seem to have the same passion or hunger to be great that he had when he was a Freshman and Sophomore. He really has been on a steady decline and I...
In my opinion, and its just an opinion, he increased his muscle mass without increasing his ability to stay limber. I believe he needs to include yoga and Pilates to stretch his muscles and increase his flexibility. He is built like a body builder but runs so timid. I do agree that the change...
Ms. State is basically a clone of the Tebow led teams. They will continue to fight for four quarters and because of that I'm impressed. I do believe Bama has a complete team at home and will test every inch of their Defense. They can get confused in the secondary and we just so happen to have a...
I honestly believe LSU can and will beat Ole Miss....I believe the biggest test for a fast but light defense is a physical running game. We were able to move the ball on the ground but have lacked a true bruising runner since Eddie Lacey and LSU has a stable of them. It will be interesting to...
I honestly believe Miss St. will give every team they play fits, barring injury. LSU decided a few years back tto abandon the concept of stopping teams that pound the rock, thus the lighter and faster DL. We have been able to get by with the bigger DL while getting in the T'weeners who are...
I'm not bashing...just stating my opinion. If you look at what he's recruiting, he knows it as well. However, scheme has to be tweaked in order to contain the fast pace. If change doesn't come Auburn could have a run, just like Bama.
Point taken, but understand the games getting faster. If you don't adjust then you will get left behind. I respect Saban's defense but you gotta tweak it in order to stay relevant. The spread with an athletic QB gives his defense fits.
Horrible play calling.....must admit it though. Saban's defense can't handle the spread. He hasn't adjusted his recruiting to deal with the speed. The game has changed, to a more up tempo pace. If he doesn't adjust we will be constantly playing under duress.
I can't blame that loss on him.....take the selfish act of making the interception and its a win. Peewee youth football players know on 4th down and long, last play of the game....knock it down. Interception means nothing!
Totally agree....He has the ability but does he have the desire to change. He really resembles a fullback in stature now, makes me wonder what his shuttle time would be now.
I agree....he seems a little too thick for a running back. He has progressively gotten bigger and bigger starting his Junior year at Bama. He is very talented as a runner but the game on the pro level is based on precision cuts not running over LB's at the line. Hopefully this off season he will...
I actually believe Washington has a very good chance of beating Oregon, spread teams struggle with power teams cause its something they aren't prepared for. So the game against Stanford was harder to control. It'll be flash versus flash!
Lindsay looked dominant but the OL still has a ways to go, I'm just happy for the win. It was a good team effort and that is really the only thing that mattered.
Here I am at work minding my business when my Safety Manager sends this link to me.......http://vimeo.com/m/75583988......he has been baiting me all week to talk trash. I'm not gonna bite, but God do I hope we skull drag them!!
Lets hope so.....I see the talent at every position and its at least 2 deep. However whats I don't see is a mean streak from anyone. They just seem to be going through the motions.
