I know that but it’s not business was the point and one of the reasons were stunk it up.

He also said (along with that) that they were slow to react.
Couple that with CKD saying they played on the heels and it sounds like our guys were tentative.
I noticed several times how it "seemed" the FSU player was a step faster. I don't believe that for a minute, but if we are late getting out of our stance on a play it's going to look that way.
I mean, the misdirection is designed to do just that. Get a player to start one way and they go the other he's a few steps behind.
Procter has never been as good as they say he is. Chris Capps vibes for sure. Should have left his butt in Iowa. He's slow, weak and has absolutely no coordination. He regularly gets beat by guys half his size, not just beat but absolutely rag dolled.
Yeah, but he left before Saban did, butt hurt because he didn’t get to start over two All American first round draft picks.
That’s because the pass protection was so airtight that he had plenty of extra time to set up his throws.
Definitely some. But he also left some clean pockets and held the ball too long at times.
The throws to Bernard were long developing plays with Williams clearing the zone and Bernard coming underneath. Ty made some great throws to Bernard but inherently these are long developing plays.
It was obvious that LSU's game plan was to get the ball to their athletes on quick passes. A pregame look at Clemson's defensive line likely dictated that.
Anyway it is night and day to Bama's passing game.
I think some of the concepts were too deep for his arm.
I was slightly disappointed in the arm strength on display.
I do think he’s made for this system with the way he hit Bernard on those medium routes.
I thought he looked better wrt to arm strength than I’ve seen before.
A lot of plays looked off because of timing and pressure.
If he’s in sync he’s got an AJ level arm at worst.
When he’s throwing off balance and pressing it dropped to maybe Coker or JPW level.
Of all the problems his arm strength is low on the list for me.
He would beat a lot teams on a CNS squad.
UNC and Belichick look even worse than we did. I was dead wrong about what would happen in this game.
Also In Ty's defense, he probably hadn't practiced against a defense with that much speed flying around all summer. He has been practicing against a defense that puts forth half the effort, it seems.
Well said. This was evident when CNS that next season named Tosh DC to retain him because of his recruiting prowess. Eventually had to appoint Golding to help Tosh with play calling. Then CNS kept PG as DC too long, even after he was often “too smart” with some of his configurations.
The coup de grace was when Sarkisian repaid Saban’s kindness to him by taking half of the Alabama staff with him after the ‘20 season. The loss of Flood Bama’s OL coach was especially painful but the upgrade to a very good NFL OL coach and former NFL HC would surely render that loss meaningless.
It’s been downhill ever since, with the truly magical Bryce Young masking the degree of the precipitous decline by his QB wizardry. I doubt that his incredible performance is fully appreciated by many Alabama fans. He probably converted more 3rd and longs in 2 years ant Alabama than Brady and Manning did in their combined 40+ year NFL careers.
(I don’t care if Bryce never completes another NFL pass, he’s easily the greatest college QB in Alabama history. Too bad he didn’t have enough help. He broke the JH curse with the drive and pass to Brooks, then Metchie. After being spit on and shown no protection or respect by the refs, he would have led Alabama to 50+ points and victory over UT but for the drop of a perfect little pass.)
The main issue is the defense. Once we realized we couldn't stop the gus bus offense, we threw our offensive gameplan out the window and all the pressure was on Ty to make all the plays. Ty was also underwhelming in the same way Jake Coaker was in his first few starts before being subbed in the Ole Miss game and getting a fire lit under him.
About a year ago, I had Chinese food, my fortune said "Your favorite sports team will be very successful." Since then the Braves have completely self destructed, the falcons have been well the falcons, Alabama has been a train wreck, and my other favorite NFL team has been blown out in a Super Bowl.
Those dang fortune cookies get your hopes up a lot of the time. Maybe your cookie was meant for someone else.
I think those are all fair points.
Our roster probably isn’t what it was in the prime Saban years but with NIL I don’t think it will be consistently ever again.
As far as culture is concerned, again maybe not prime Saban, but it isn’t going to get much better anywhere else.
As far as recruiting his players, the big draw to CKD is he’s always over achieved with his rosters. No matter the scheme or player fit this is the most talented team he’s ever had. Plus, he does have one class in place now.
Outside of maybe a few exceptions what schools are you swapping rosters and culture with?
I think the problem we have starts at the top. We now have good coaches, similar to the rest of college football, but not great. Not the best and that is the Bama standard. Unfortunately without great coaches everything else slips from great to good. I hope I’m wrong but nothing I’ve seen this far gives me tons of hope that everything is about to get better.
