spent the last weeks trying to figure out Keelon's weakness



He doesn't have a physical one. He only weakness is his inexperience. Kirby will show him packages he hasn't seen before.

Grubb will need to do his homework this week preparing Keelon for Kirby's defense.

Kasey got so much bad advice during his career.

One of the Kaulig owners was on a pod yesterday and said that they haven't talked with Brad about a ride and sounded very skeptical Dodge could make it happen for next year.
He's a damn good football coach and won't be at Memphis long.
Solid take. I thought Brown should have been covering Harbor. It's like Lee has forgot how to play defense.

More props to the WR room and the TE room. All of the receivers at playing at a high level. Scott has a tendency to hold on downfield blocks. Needs to spend some time with the OL staff on technique.

Agree on Crowell, he's still only about 90% (I know someone that's friends with him). He's going to be special. Him and Dear in a 1/2 punch with Hill as the battering ram will take this offense to another level.

Defense had moments last night but they are still missing way too many tackles by not wrapping up. That's fixable but still frustrating.

What had grown into a solid OL now has a hole with Jarvin out. Hopefully that won't last long.

Everything you said about Keelon is spot on. I wouldn't trade him for anybody in the country.

Our Jimmies are better than their Joes. It's that simple.

As much of a freak as Taylor is I wouldn't trade Keelon for him.

If we execute and play Alabama football we should beat them by 10.

Damn it is so good to have an absolute thumper back at LB.

It was so frustrating in years past to see our LBs getting dragged down the field. Runners come Metz' way and he's going to make them pay for it.

He's only going to get better and better.

:bow: :bow: :bow:
When we execute and eliminate stupid penalties we can definitely beat anybody.

Keelon is definitely elite and as said, I wouldn't trade him for anybody; not even that freak at MSU.

When we set our minds to it, running game is solid. I'm not sure EJ is still 100% yet. Want to see Dear on some toss sweeps/wheel routes.

The TEs, just wow. Best group in the country.

WR room as I predicted may be the best in the country as well. They are ALL HR threats. RCW seems to have settled in from his yips.

However we still have periods of stagnation on offense and what looked to be an elite defense has shown several holes.

DL is solid with some position groups and not so much with others.

LB play is playing winning football. Woodson is a good LB but is SLOW. Metz is solid and getting better every game. Griffin is also coming along. We need his speed out there.

Dijon Lee has forgotten how to cover and becoming a liability. Gotta be a technique thing, last year he was solid. Some of the non starters still have much growing to do.

As a whole defense is still not wrapping up on tackles. Too much of this "thud" bullshite. Half of thier YAC was due to this. Wrap the damn ball carrier up.

Defense is still not accounting for a running QB. Spying Sellers and at least 3or 4 of their conversions do not happen.

Kicking game has grown from a liability to a weapon. Mad props for the work they've put in to get better.
Good: Defense has the chance to be elite if they can stay healthy.

LB play. Metz and Woodson are thumpers. Great to see great fundamental tackling at the LB position again. They get their hands on you, you're going to the ground.

DB play is special. Great to see Edwards get in. He has a knack of just being where the ball is.

DL is flat nasty.

Hill/Crowell/Brown can get the job done. Hill is finally running like a 230# back. Crowell when completely 100% and learns the blocking packages will be special. Brown has great vision and shiftiness.

Good day for RW and Scott. Still has a tendancy to jump when he doesn't have to.

Talty. Bruh finally figured it out.

Another good is they just kept fighting despite playing the worst half of football since the FSU game last year. Kentucky is mediocre at best. Play to the standard.

Bad:

Pre-snap bullshite. Simply put, there's WAAAAAAAY too much shifting and late substituting going on. We cannot even do the simple shite like get lined up on time with the right personnel on the field. You have a QB only in his second start. Get the best 11 players on the field, line up and play fricking football. This is 100% on the offensive coaching staff.

Finally getting the play in with 5 seconds on the clock and shifting 1/4 of th e players on the field with 5 seconds on the clock does NOTHING but create a sense of panic and hurry on the players, this leads to half of our offensive penalties.

SIMPLIFY THE DAMN OFFENSE UNTIL KR figures it out.

Play calling. Grubb tries to get too cute, especially on 3rd and 4th and short. This issue is compounded by the previously mentioned pre snap nonsense. You have a 230# running back and MULTIPLE TEs that are great blockers. When you need 2 yds line up and run the fricking football instead of trying some late shift jet sweep that hasn't worked at the University of Alabama since Marquiz fricking Maze was running it.

OL. Yes, I know we were down two starters but we're still getting too many wiffs on blocking. This is being compounded by the late shifting.

Delgatty gets a demerit for the shite on the first 2 point conversion. They knew they were going to go for two on the play before they scored. Have your arse where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be there.

Officiating. I've never seen a more concerted effort to disrupt the flow of the game when momemtum was shifting in 56 years of watching football.

The TD that was called back was damn sure NOT beyond a reasonable doubt. Defensive holding on a clear running playl??? Bitch please. And, how the frick do you call ineligible receiver downfield when the offense is on the damn 5 yard line???

That crew needs to stick to high school football.

Over-all a B- effort.

Prattville falling apart.


They had help from the refs. Horribly officiated game.

QB made some terrible deciisions with the ball. Two picks and threw into triple coverage on 4th down. If #5 is triple covered, the best receiver in the state is running single covered somewhere. WTF was he doing.

Prattville D is nasty.

Damn, how will they deal with such a drastic change?

What kind of panty waste tree hugging pinko communist progressive liberal faggotry is this bullshite?

You guys are over-reacting. Let the man work. For "AD" type duties, GB has been on fire. Bama doesn't have a Mark Cuban type alum so we're going to have to get creative. I do agree with the thought that he may hire a "marketing" type assistand AD that can think outside of the box.

And as far at Saban's involvement, let the man enjoy his retirement. He damn sure earned it. Alabama has to figure out life after Saban and the sooner we do that, the better.

The Learfield contract thing is interesting. There are enough major manufacturers in Alabama to sink our teeth into a major contribution for a patch. Surely someone out there knows the meat and potatoes of that deal. And, that would have had to had multiple layers of administration eyes on it, not just Byrne's.

Whoever is head of Ford Racing is a fool if they let him get away. He's shown he can content in decent equipment.

Sumrall is a solid coach. He will do just fine at FL.
Except for a few pockets like Hungary and Poland, western culture is forever dead in Europe.

And I'll add it was quite intentional.

This. Dabo hasn't had a good QB since Lawrence.

That and he ran into a buzz saw of a defense last night.
You guys do not get the schtick of this. They choose big girls on purpose. An OT 8-10 wouldn't even get a second look at getting selected.

Y'all let these big girls have their fun.
