I asked several times last night how in the world was Ole Miss physically dominating our DL. The holes they were opening up many times looked like something on the HS level.
State of Alabama defense
- Thread starter gymcoach
- Start date
I was just thinking about the Jalen/Tua situation and how long it took Coach to pull the trigger for the better of the team. Seems like to me, we are at that point with the defense. I am hoping this is being addressed today and changes being planned and implemented for the better of the team.
Just as the game has changed, Cuda, so has the definition of an "alcoholic".
These days, it's "anyone who drinks more than you do. Whom you don't like..."
good
Good, i misunderstood, then who are you talking about, or is it figurative reference
They were talking about making excuses for poor play, as an alcoholic not yet ready to give up drinking makes excuses for his/her decision to continue to drink. There was no connection to Sark or his history in any way.
You weren't following me, but you're probably nothing like as old. I was referring to his decision to retire when the wishbone had been figured out, rather than go back to a passing offense. He talked about it openly and at length...
I don't know why you'd think that in context of the conversation.
If we need a new DC, it appears Dan Quinn is available.
the last DC only lasted one year, Nick was probably trying for some continuity in the defensive staff, plus With last years injuries , it wasn’t a fair evaluation . He picked CPG young, like most of his other DC’s through the years. I think after this year CPG will get a fair assessment , and Probably be shown the door if things don’t turn around. I think it will be like the Major Applewhite situation where CNS knows he has talent but he is not right for the job just yet!
I also do truly think that CLK has probably been game planning for this game since they started back practicing. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he did a Clempson and began practicing for Bama weeks ago. He wanted Sooooooo BAD to be the FIRST assistant to beat Daddy.
[/QUOTThis is exaThis!!
Kidding has an ego and he pulled out all stops to be the first assistant to beat the master. He threw things at us that weren't on film.
He called an awesome game and was a defensive stop away from making history. I was quite surprised to see him try that field goal.
Next week will tell the tale on our defense...
It really doesn't matter who the DC is if we can't tackle better than we did last night...
As Mack Brown told the UNC fans today: "we can always find something to criticize. Let's just be glad we are 3-0."
Upon further reflection, we've played 2 tough teams on the road and another at home...and are undefeated. Roll Tide Roll!!!

I actually came here to post that.
This sort of thing is why I was getting worked up over the first two games as well. I think from a casual standpoint it was easy to go yeah well Alabama didn't give up that many points, not that many yards, it's not that bad. I get that...
But, the defense just wasn't completely shutting down offenses like they used to. I would imagine there were years in which Alabama was first in the nation (or close to it) in 3 and outs. Their ability to get off the field quickly is severely compromised.
I guess I can just hope this is the A-Day version of the team and they take some big strides forward in the coming weeks.
Glad to hear, sometimes you walk up on your buddies at the bar and they are engaged in some weird conversation
