Well hate that there was a missed FG, thankfully up 14 and the fact that we are working on improving run game. Defense appears focused and hungry. Special teams showing out/up. RTR

 

[LeBron47]

Not a fan of booing any player… but a sincere question do we have another place kicker on the side line …. We need to get someone before next week prepared

 

[Bama Lee]

Talty must be the best kicker we have. Let that sink in.

I would say him starting is mainly due to his limited playing time last year.

 

[BamaNation]

Good God, do NOT boo that kid, people!

for better or worse the boos are a reaction to what he did to his snapper last week. Not saying he should get boos, bc we're usually not like that, but he's brought that on himself.

Blocked a punt at the 12 and came away with zero points lol.

thats the eyetest cfb committee was talking about

 

[TideEngineer08]

They aren't booing a kid.

They're booing a professional athlete who's getting paid to be terrible at his job.

You got a point there

 

[tusks_n_raider]

I’m not a fan of booing the kid either but he very publicly made a fool out of himself yelling at his long snapper last week. Kind of brought it upon himself.

I never heard a sound byte or saw a video of him apologizing.

Maybe he did and I missed it.

But if he didn’t I’m fine with the booing.

Kids with zero futures in FB as Kickers make those kicks every Friday night and they don’t make a donkey out of themselves towards their teammates when they miss.

Why have only one kicker on the roster? this is why you have more than one...competition and options if this happens

 

[AlexanderFan]

Jam doesn’t have that gear any more, he might have too much muscle to be explosive.

 

[CrimsonJazz]

I’m good with running the football, but backup receivers need work, too.

 

[LeBron47]

Are we playing a running clock… Jam ran out of bounds and clock didn’t stop

 

[crimsonaudio]

Bama needs to work on the short game. Quick passes, running the ball, etc. Gotta be able to keep drives alive against real defenses.

 

[Bama Lee]

Believe me, nobody from the committee is watching this game. They may peruse the highlights, but most will simply just look at the final score

 

[LeBron47]

Are we playing a running clock… Jam ran out of bounds and the clock kept running

 

[rtr90]

i fear playing these kind of teams create bad habits ... run angles gaining positive yds turn into negative against P4 teams

 

[Bama Lee]

Are we playing a running clock… Jam ran out of bounds and clock didn’t stop

The clock has been running for quite some time. They changed that rule about 6 years ago

Shaun Alexander, but named Noturo, was taking warmup kicks.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

another kicker has been warming up

The rules have changed it doesn’t stop everytime. Depends on the quarter and how much time is left on the clock
