Yep. Very frustrating.

He hasn't had a lot of chances, and it's gonna take him some time to get his footing in the college game. Ince he breaks a big play, he'll get more confident, and they will go to him more.

This time last year, a lot of posters weren't big fans of Mason Taylor, either.

You keep trying, I was hoping to see him do a few things out of the backfield. The issue is Diggs is the fricking man.

Yeah, he should get past the guy unblocked tackling him just as he catches it.

People think saban would let an elite play maker walk away from bama. He’s just not that good

He is coming off a bad injury, its changed him some looks like. Still has 3 more years ahead of him after this year and still obviously 9+ games left this season.

I didnt quite understand why he seemingly got permanently benched on PR after 1 misstep there. KR he simply wasnt it and i get that, but are we really back to fair catch Clayton? Why couldnt Anderson get some PR reps in a blowout game vs. MSU or more than 1 fair catch rep against Grambling?

The 3rd down for Nuss, 13 dumped it quickly to the flat to pimpton.

MSU blitzed up the middle and AA was running a short in-breaking route and was going to be wide open right where the blitzing backers came from.

Would have loved to see the ball go there and see what we have in Anderson.

Of course you will, because you are a moron. You'll change your mind back and forth a million times, depending on which way the wind blows.

Yea the play calls that go to Anderson are horrendous so far. Really hard to utilize his speed when Denbrock is making him run sideways for some stupid reason

Not a ton of opportunities for him to get the ball when you have Nabors, Thomas, Diggs, Taylor, and a running Daniels getting the ball ahead of him.

He’ll be fine. Would like to see him get another shot at punt returner.

He had a decent carry in a jet sweep. The second one didn’t work well.

He really isn't as fast as predicted. He's quick but not fast for his position.

I wish they’d give the jet sweep some. They’re setting it up for the future but I’d love to see it.

I’d like to see him get the ball on some slants in stride instead of screens, he’s definitely a dude. Takes time to adjust to the college game speed.

He’s gotta get comfortable with his body again first


I think he’ll come on soon

He missed a whole season with injury. Could we possibly give him a minute

Sigh

Good balance and solid speed but his short area quickness just isn’t what it was billed to be for a guy his size

There’s a reason Saban didn’t fight to keep him
