Game Thread: ****Bama vs. USM****

[TideMan09]

I don't get that sense, I get the feeling, by the time the play comes in, they have to rush to get the play off & that causes the confusion..I thought Blake looked better when our offense was in hurry up mode all gam in the 1st 2 games..

He's confused when it does come in.

 

[GrayTide]

Both offense and defense look totally confused. They appear to have no idea what to do.

Complete confusion on both sides of the ball...too much thinking and not enough playing football... Maybe the complex schemes pay off in the long run...but they sure look rough today.

looks like we are just going thru the motions right now.

I think he means they are not trying to score. Clearly this was not a 2 minute drill.

Yeah , not trying to score

 

[bamaman65]

Maybe our coaches are overrated.

As it turns out, I'll be in New Orleans (near Bourbon St.) next week for the UF game. I've never tasted a drop of alcohol in my life, but if it goes south, I'll have the means to numb it all

Don't.

They will adjust. I think we played sloppy before the conference game last year. We gotta do better with coachiing.

 

[TouchThatThang]

Gotcha. The players are trying plenty hard. They're just not getting clear coaching right now...

Yep. Guys look like they're not quite sure what to do...that kills me.

Well miscommunication really hurts.

 

[CullmanTide]

There is confusion even when the play gets in. The QB and others in the offense aren't on the same page for some reason.

Did you forget the blue font???

 

[BamaJama17]

Yeah , not trying to score

That disappointed me.

It's really not looked like this since Saban's first year when we had Pendry and Applewhite trying to be Co-OCs. Before that, it would have to be Dubose or Shula. Maybe Kiffin and Saban just don't mesh somehow. Of course the unsettled QB situation is not helping either...

 

[bamaman65]

Something is wrong.

 

[bamaga]

I think we should brace ourselves for a season not quite up to ALABAMA standards.

That problem is also starting on the sideline...

Black was wide open
