No way to color this as anything but bad news, but it's a long season and younger players are going to get needed experience, hopefully experience on the winning side. If he can get back at some point it will make us that much better having survived the experience. Or our lack of run game...
I think it's a tough deal because sometimes choosing the right player means you might lose games early but if you don't choose the right players you will absolutely not win games late. To me, I want to put the best players on the field and give them the chance to win. and by best I don't mean...
Even if Milro didn't have such a bad year down the stretch, (which he did and it was awful). He just doesn't fit the offense they want to run.
They know that the record last year was not good enough to keep their jobs, especially including the Oklahoma loss (not just that we lost but how...
I have little to no doubts Ty can run the offense and even be exceptional once he gets a little experience. My greatest fear is that he will let his desire to succeed push him on plays that he needs to just throw away and end up getting hurt. As much as I hate seeing a play go for nothing I've...
That sort of misdirection was especially problematic for a Nick Saban defense which is predicated on everyone doing a specific job, it was especially problematic early in the season. The Swarm defense is a little simpler to execute and puts a premium on reaction and pursuit. I'm not saying...
It's not that I don't want to hear anything from the players, it's just that there is no real reason for them to be mouthy. The last time they were on the field they got humiliated by a team full of 2's. Alabama as a program is not coming from the top looking down, they are down looking up...
Offense is sort of like a v8 engine. when all 8 cylinders are firing and producing it's amazing but you get one or two of those with an issue and it causes a cascade of problems. You still have 6 working but they can't overcome the issue.
Last year Milro was not the only problem but he was...
The only reasonable control that might work would be to make two changes. One, put a monetary cap on players by position. Obviously a QB would have a higher cap than a safety. Secondly I believe the player should have to sign a contract. At least 2 years in length. After that they can do...
While I think it's a bad idea to give out bulletin board material to the apposing team, and while I am not sure if Florida State has the talent to beat us, I do believe that the film from last year showed absolutely nothing to scare anybody. Even when we won the other teams were playing with...
Correct me if I'm wrong but this salary for the players thing has nothing to do with NIL agreements does it? They can still negotiate whatever they want with whoever they want correct? It just means they could do nothing beyond be on the team and get a paycheck.
since the cap is for the...
On the previous playoff discussion I don't put much stock in non playoff bowl game performances. Alabama's head was not in that game at all. Much like most of last season. In that regard I do agree they didn't belong in the playoffs.
On Mbakwe, there are at times 6 DB's on the field and...
It's supply vs demand. There are a lot more good QB's in the NFL and their effect is somewhat less dramatic. In college a great QB can take an otherwise 7 win team and win a natty. and there aren't many great ones.
Having said that I think many QB's are getting overpaid thus far. I don't...
Hiring Belichick seemed like a good move in the beginning, I mean the guy has a few superbowl rings, but I get the feeling this is not going to end well for them.
Lots of experience coming back, experience losing to teams they should never lose to, experience watching games slip away and not doing anything to stop it. As if everyone was waiting for someone ELSE to make the big play. I could say the same thing about the 2008 team at about this point...
