Film Guy's take on the Bama loss

[Cruloc]

Film Guy's take on the Bama loss is interesting, can't link it, he swears a couple of times.

1. The pick 6 was probably illegal touching, but their D was so prepared, they were there early.

2. He confirmed that DeBoer and Grubb watch his channel because they gave Hill the number of carries he said they should give him. lol

3. Too much on Ty's shoulders

4. Offense is easy to defend....can't run....can't pass pro....can't stretch the field consistently. Make them snap it enough and you're going to get them in 3rd and long or get them to turn it over.

5. AND the big one.....questioned their toughness. Basically asked them if they practice hard enough because he knows they've got dudes, but they just aren't tough and they miss too many assignments.

Did he by any chance talk about the missed FG followed by the blame game tantrum?

I’ve only watched his breakdowns a few times but he seems like the kind of guy to not be impressed by that whole deal.

I can see him saying something to the effect of…

“Hey the holder got it down laces our brother… make the Kick!…. Don’t blame your teammates on the field because you didn’t drive through the kick”.

I didn't hear him mention that, but Pate did...briefly.

I really don't put a lot of stock in a part time starter at Division 2 Shorter University that enjoyed a highly successful record of 7-47 during his time.

Don't care, the dude knows ball.

Regarding #4- It is still too early in DeBoer's tenue for me to think he's working with all the "type" of offensive players he wants/needs in this system. Again, he had a 1,000 yard rusher with 16 rushing TD's at UW. I witnessed for myself (live and in person) the physical limitations our offensive line has with some of the type of players we have. Michael Carroll is a very good start when it comes to "change". Man that kid is athletic and is going to be a beast. He is the type of OL'man I believe DeBoer and crew are wanting. We're just not athletic enough on the OL. OU's OL was big but still very fluid in their footwork and movements. You rarely saw them get put in an unathletic position, and it wasn't like our D Line wasn't busting their butts to get there.

Regarding #5- I know people get tired of hearing this but it is as true as the sun coming up. But Saban's teams the last few years struggled with "toughness" and physicality as well. So I don't think this is as much a "DeBoer" thing as it is a college football thing with players now getting paid. If you get out of your Crimson bubble and talk to other fans about their teams, you'll start to hear some of the same things. I'm hearing NFL players (former NON NIL college players) talk about how they can see a difference. So I don't think we as a fanbase need to isolate DeBoer and think this is a "him" problem. It's all over college football.

Back to the kick. Was it really that badly shanked or was the defender getting his hand on it what sent it so far off track? If the block had any part that would be directly attributable to the high snap. Bad snaps two weeks in a row...wonder if our special teams coach drills on handling high snaps.

It looked to me the ball was already coming off his foot shanked.

This guy comes up with so many wishy washy takes about his information on our practices and people who should know better go to message boards and regurgitate it as gospel truth. Yet our actual insiders are saying it’s nowhere near the truth. I think this guy is a mid level guy trying to bully his way to the next ring by trying to start crap for coaches to the point that they relent and give him the real information.

But as far as practices actually go I think people act like Saban’s practices in his past 4 years were junction boy type practices but they were not. He was constantly getting someone hurt or getting someone mad to the point that they transferred out. He had to adjust his style to deal with the nil. DeBoer gets all this hell because he isn’t saban and a good part of the fan base just won’t accept him until he wins a championship. So I would be very careful what you say about how DeBoer does things because Nick Saban wasn’t exactly Nick Saban from 21-23 either.

It was going to be a miss, a bad miss, based on how it came off his foot. Laces were out too.

Kid needs to practice kicking with suboptimal snaps. Him and the holder. Instead of doing what he did....practice kicking from off target snaps.

 

[dvldog]

The FG definitely deflected off the fingertips of the defender who illegally jumped over/off of another player’s back. Guys at locked on Bama said that the long snapper was replaced afterwards.

 

[DrollTide]

I'm not one to blame any individual player - but this is a tough game in a tough conference, you are getting paid these days, and you must produce. Drew DeArmond held nothing back this morning, I had to sit in the car in the gym parking lot to hear him out. He named names and suggested they get on a bus. This was tough to hear.

Yeah, I was under the impression jumping over the line was a personal foul too. I just assumed I made it up since the announcers said nothing about it

He missed several in warmups to. He was kicking on the end of the field we were and we saw him miss several during warmups. The guy just isn't a good kicker.

I think Bray Hubbard is, but other than him, the last “ ornery “, physically tough guy that comes to mind is Landon Dickerson. At least on the O line.

This. People outside of the fanbase don’t talk about the 2022 Tennessee “anxiety” game or the 2023 USF game where the offense just didn’t seem to care. They just chalk it up to Saban leaving a perfect program and DeBoer messing it up, and it wasn’t so much Saban’s fault as it was CFB changing as a whole, but I feel like if the program was perfect, Saban would still be coaching in Tuscaloosa.

DeBoer changed his demeanor this season, came out Saturday fired up, and it still resulted in a loss. The defense has been playing nasty the past month or so, so I don’t think it’s a question of the whole team no being physical enough, I do wonder if it’s a mental issue on the offensive side of the ball, specifically on the OL, where we’re going on year 4 of a highly hyped OL busting.

I've never seen him in warmups or practice.....so the fact he's missing consistently in warmups is even a worse look on what he did after his miss in the game.

Hopefully DeBoer brings a kicker in next year.

at this point, whenever he struts out to attempt a fg, I am prepared for him to miss!
