re: Les miles to blame for Montgomery taking games off?

That's the measuring stick.
Apparently the man is doing something right over there.

And he also had to deal with players taking plays off as well as players committing assault and robberies on campus.

Montgomery is the only player I can remember in the Miles era who had this knock against him.

Does that mean Miles is responsible for the attitudes of all the other players who didn't take playe off.

Why do you care about Bama so much?

Why? We are 2-2 against them in the last 4 meetings. We had them beat in our place this year if it wasn't for a bad series at the end of the game. We would be 3-1 had the game gone our way. It didn't go our way, but just as easily could have. Why are they so far ahead of us in your book? While you are in here saying that all of us are making excuses, which I haven't seen anyone in here do, you are putting Bama up on some pedestal like we can't compete with them. The LSU - Bama game is one of the best games of the year every year and always has national championship implications. We aren't that far "behind" them.

But I dont care about South Fla or rutgers or vanderbilt or or any other team.... I care about one... Alabama.

Then wtf are you doing here?

ONE player took plays off last season. ONE!!! And he happens to be very good when he isn't taking them off. If Montgomery hadn't said anything this past week you wouldn't know he took the plays off. You haven't discussed it before?

So in reality it wasn't that big of an issue, you didn't notice it on the field so enlighten us on the difference that it made.

If one out of 80 people take plays off then that is a pretty god damn good ratio. Alabama has players that take plays off too bud, they just aren't dumb enough to mention it during a combine interview.
