Moore's Actions at the end of the game...

We will see how it all plays out real soon. USC ain't no pushover either. This is a turning point for the season, only question is which way does it turn. Could this be our UF loosing to Ole Miss moment? Do we have a Tebow like leader that can inspire this team going forward? We will see.

The last thing I'll say about MM is, I wish he had gotten fired up earlier, like say during halftime and focused it towards his teammates. Getting fired up or made when the other team is taking a knee is way too late.

This is an excellent point. I didn't really pay attention, but I didn't notice anyone on our sideline showing much leadership. I saw a lot of frustration and a lack of composure, but no one stepping up. JM is big about leading the team out on the field and greeting everyone as they come off the field. But does he ever rally the team when it gets tough on the field? Maybe he does and I've missed it.

I feel like we need an alpha dog on offense. I think MM may be the alpha dog on defense, but he needs to keep his head and not lose control like he did against Vandy.

There are a million ways to skin a cat. Just look at Sabans great friend Tom Izzo. Regarded by all accounts as one of the "goats" in college basketball and openly lets his player get into yelling matches with him. He says he loves the passion. Saban also had a sense of this where he wanted his players to have ownership and passion for the game and the team. There is a thin line between love and war and sometimes that passion becomes toxic in the right environment on any given Saturday. As I have said before, let the coaches handle it and we can judge the results as we see fit.

I also like to see the passion from players; however, the problem with this demonstration of "passion" is that it looked like more of a tantrum because of the result. I have a feeling that if our coaches and players had prepared and played with passion that we would not be talking about a loss to lowly Vanderbilt. It was not a fluke loss. Vandy whipped us on the line. That shouldn't happen. If you only show passion with one minute left after watching Vandy whip your tail for 59 minutes, it is much too late. At that point, it was time to demonstrate class and congratulate those guys on the other side for whipping your tail. Now, we can only hope that we learn from this and get things right.

Completely agree, which was precisely Tupelo's and mlh's point. Not saying CPB was always right, or that the situation could be handled that way today (and yes, Finebaum does stir the pot a lot!) - just that college football today is just a completely different animal than what most of us grew up with - and not in a good way.

Who's going to fill his shoes on an already anemic defense? I think he should get some sort of practice in-house punishment, but we can't afford to have him miss a game. We can't afford another loss or there will be no playoffs and the fans will go crazy and the message boards will break the servers!

A suspension's impact on a game should not be one of the considerations. If it is, then you get stuff like Les Miles pulled, delaying the suspension for a game or two until they were playing a cupcake.

If you predicate team discipline on W-L, then you have neither a team nor discipline.

Siap. Malachi Moore said the defensive calls were coming in late. The players did not have adequate time to get set and implement the calls. That is a communication problem and that is on the defensive coaches. After the 2nd half of the Ga game and last Saturday, I am losing confidence in Wommack. The "swarm" defense has turned into the "Swiss Cheese" defense with many glaring holes.

Malachi Moore: "Late Calls Cause Anxiety"

Malachi Moore spoke with the media for the first time since Alabama's loss to Vanderbilt, discussing defensive play calling.

Nor is more of this 'anxiety' talk.

I'm not too upset about the passion on the field, but this wuss 'anxiety' talk has got to stop. I don't care how you actually feel, drop the weak talk. Your opponents FEED off of this stuff.

Goodness. Keep your weakness to yourself.

I hope this is all just part of the coaching transition. This talk of anxiety isn't a good look. That word should never come out the players mouths.

They yap so much on the field at the other team....you know that anxiety comment is going to get yapped back at them all game every game now.....along with other colorful words to get them emotional and off the game they should be playing.
 
When I played...back in "the good old days"...I don't remember ever speaking to a player on the other team until after the game, and then it was congratulatory or respectful, never condescending.

I said plenty to my teammates, but not the opposing players.

I'm guessing that's just not the way kids are these days. If what Pavia said is true and they were yapping at the coin toss then that UGA game gave them huge egos and they thought they were unbeatable.

Does losing to Vandy in the manner they did take a chunk of that ego back to reality? Who knows.

The yapping and trash talking during the game is silly to me, but I know it happens. DBs vs WRs.....DL vs OL....I don't care for it, but I know its going on all game.

Dancing after a TD when you're losing late to Vandy isn't a good look either....you've got work to do, give the ball to the ref and get to work.

Players have always "yapped"! Even at Alabama. You just don't know unless the camera is shows you. I don't know why we have this "pious" attitude about the Saban administration Just because you walk on the field "business like" doesn't mean that their isn't any talking on the field. Part of the game is getting into the other guy's head!
