I don't know about the rest of you, but all these comments that have been made by players talking negatively about other players have been making me nervous that there may be a lack of institutional control. It started with RJF running off at the mouth, then Herman Johnson criticizing the QBs about getting the plays in. D Byrd backtalking the coach after missing a pass (which they said he apologized for). Now Alem, who played a hell of a game, throws A FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK under the bus for the picks he threw.

I'm sure these things happen all the time in the locker room with all teams, but it concerns me because its happening in the media way too much. There may be some merit behind the idea of not letting players talk to the media. I just don't want problems off the field to potentiate the problems we are having on the field. These things tend to snow ball and team chemistry breaks down.

Throughts? Opinions? Am I over reacting? Do these guys need to be told to shut the hell up and have their media privliges taken away?

Besides the co-defensive coordinator issue I would say that this one isn't far behind.

Where'd you get that???

And I agree ... you've got to have unity ... Hopefully Les will get some control ... even if it means no player interviews.

When you have players talking shite after making a tackle 20 or so yards down field, while losing by double digits in a conference game, you've already lost control. I am seriously sick of this crap, especially from Coleman.

As much as I dislike Saban, things were never this bad when he was here. Look at how Laron Landry changed in that aspect after Miles came here.

They showed him doing it yesterday during the Georgia game. It was a clip from a previous game where it appeared that he gave an assistant the finger for getting onto his arse for not catching a pass. Craig Davis was talking about it after he made that good catch.
