Sorry you live in a trailer park.

Had a buddy at a practice recently.  Nothing earth shattering here, so take it for what it's worth.  He didn't recall any first team drop.  There may have been some, but none that came to mind.

A guy that played for years in the NFL was at practice yesterday. His takeaway was that if this team isn’t a playoff contender and conference winner, it took effort to fuck it up on gameday.

Anyone revising their W/L prediction based off game 1 of a 12 game season is moronic unless we go out and look like literal crap and play at a level that is so bad we almost lose or do lose. A 38-7 type win where we are vanilla and pack it in during the second half to look ahead to Bama isn't going to surprise me just like a 63-10 smacking wouldn't surprise me. Neither impacts my long term outlook of the season, especially when considering that teams can get better or worse as a season progresses.

If this team struggles for 3 quarters and pulls away late for a 31 - 23 win this entire place is going to be nothing but "this team sucks" and "fire 7 win Steve"

We absolutely smoked Rice with Casey Thompson on the way to a 5-7 season. Very little can be gleaned from this game

Yeah, you can see warning signs. 2010 Rice was a warning sign

Let's hope it's as ill-fated of a switch as when Butter Teeth made a similar decision the night of June 7, 2010.

When you don’t have a qb those thoughts will enter your mind.

Did you wake up today and decide to play internet troll for the day, or did you suffer a TBI over the weekend?

Just seeing what the response is now when it's all roses and Kool aid. I don't think that's going to happen but if so will be fun to come back to this. 

Pulling away in the 4th and winning by 2 scores isn't almost losing.

So Saban wants to go back in time to 2008-2012 SEC style? Bold strategy

Article tells me Saban wants to play ball control this year because of their QB situation. You stop Alabama’s run game they’re done

He's always been on the cutting edge, now he wants everything to be like it used to be.  Saban done went and got old.

Not sure if it's what he wants. He/they went after at least a half dozen QBs who they'd love to sling the ball around with, but they whiffed, for whatever reason

It's not just that though.  He spends a lot of time whining about NLI.  He used to find talented, but flawed coaches to rehabilitate also.  Now he just gets flawed ones.  Their issues are starting to stack up.

I've been saying this for a few months, I think we beat Bama by at least 13. Not sure why. I know their defense is going to be good again, but I also think we will be fine. I think the Bama players who played us last year would say we were their toughest game. It'll be the same this year.

They will target Collins, Burke and Sorrell in the run game and make us prove we can stop them

I am going to guess that Burke will not be on the field a ton vs Bama. Likely see a starting line up of Collins, Sweat, Murphy, and Sorrell across the LOS. Bama will definitely go after Burke, when they see him out there

Yeah "bama bully ball" will be the gameplan against Texas.  Saban has been kickin' his teams asses this offseason -- bama will be more physical running the ball this year.  Ball control offense tryin' to break the will of their opponents.

 

Saban is pissed about jawja folks mocking bama and he loves whippin' his opponent's asses...

 

"The worm is turning because everybody's gotten so spread-oriented ... that people who now are running the ball are having more success because the defense is more geared to stopping all that stuff than it is to stopping just the straight, old-fashioned running game," Saban said this summer. "And I think that's one thing that Georgia has done really, really well."

----------------------------------------------

IT WAS 2008 when Saban delivered his most notable pregame speech. Undefeated and back at LSU for the first time since he left as the Tigers' coach for the NFL, he told players what to think.

"How much does this game mean to you?" Saban said. "Because if it means something to you, you can't stand still. You understand? You play fast. You play strong. You go out there and dominate the guy you're playing against and make his ass quit. That's our trademark. That's our M.O. as a team, alright? That's what people know us as."

I understand the concept in both Saban's mind, and in the minds of those who cover Bama, that he can just will something into existence because he's the GOAT. Problem is, that's not how the universe actually works. 

Bama has an okay stable of backs, fine. They don't have 5 high draft picks on the OL right now. They have Latham, who is highly regarded. They have Proctor, who will be in his second game, starting at LT. Is he the next Kelvin Banks? Maybe, however the odds don't favor that. The interior OL isn't loaded. The TE from Maryland is a jag. The QBs are a flat out concern. They have no one at WR that will keep defenses honest. 

All of that adds up to a plodding offense that is going to rely simply on the idea of out-talenting the opponent and being tougher than the opponent. They don't have the horses to out-talent multiple defenses on their schedule, Texas included. The notion that they're just going to be tougher to a discernible extent is laughable silliness. Texas played them tough last year. Other teams did as well. They didn't physically whip a bunch of teams' asses until they played KSU, frankly.

Nick Saban looked at what he had coming into this season at QB and said "I need a QB" and went and tried to buy one. That failed. He subsequently reviewed everything else and said "I don't have the difference makers at WR, TB, QB, or TE to keep up with Tennessee or Georgia. I need to try to shorten these ball games and just physically whip everyone. "

Everyone else looked at Bama and blindly bleated "well, it's Bama, they should be a CFP team even though they're going to post an offense from 15 years ago while replacing both coordinators and 16 starters, one being Bryce Young, another being Will Anderson. " Okay then.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Literally spot on for reading between the lines of what Saban is implying about his 2023 team. Once teams stop Alabama’s run game they’re shit out of luck

Wouldn’t shock me if Milroe ends up being the leading rusher in our game. Scrambling QBs who can’t pass very well have always been our kryptonite. 

Milroe ending up as Bama leading rusher actually probably increases our chances. Especially if that means the bama RB's and O-line are unsuccessful in playing the way the media keeps droning on about.

Bryce Young was holding that offense back, what with his Heisman and ability to complete forward passes...

As JAG as Ovie Ogufo was at rushing the passer, he at least had serviceable lateral quickness and run defense. 

Collins has to proves he is quick enough to set the edge vs a QB that is a real running threat.

As great as Bryce Young was, he posed zero threat to run which placed very little stress on our edges.

And Milroe poses such a serious aerial threat that we'd better be careful of guarding against his running?  Who knew that Young to Milroe was simply a passing of the Heisman torch?
