whats the deal? They got beat like a red headed step child last night, and have been very poor pretty much all season.

Our best CBs are red-shirting/coming in next season. EJ looked lost out there for some reason. Other CBs we have gotten in previous classes just aren't showing their ready.

Safety's actually played a good game last night.

I thought Cyrus played pretty well and Sylve played great. EJ played terribly and Geno was hit or miss

Just got beat, Jackson nor many in the nation have the ability to cover Sammie Coates on a go route. Marshall has a very strong arm, so he's just got to air it out so Coates could run under it.

Sylve should have been the earlier call, best combination of speed and size to keep up with Coates.

They just dropped the ball on Quan Bray a lot, they gave him matchups he could win. Letting Jackson shift in and letting Ragland trail out to cover was a headscratcher.

Duke Williams is just great, he's a freak athlete that wasn't even 100% and still did damage. He's a 10+ year NFL player if I've ever seen one.

They were probably the best 3 WRs Bama have played or will play in a game this year. Mizzou has a lot of veteren talent at WR, but only Bud Sasser looks to be a really good player. Quick and can jump.

I think it was more coaching honestly. Shouldve just did like UGA did on 3rd downs and played zone. Saban is soo stuck in his ways. He changed the d line type now I believe he needs to adjust his play calling a lil. The all out blitz and leave guys on a island isn't going to work when you playing against teams with freaks on the outside. Plus all Barn do is throw it up deep. Also why the hell do our DBs freak out on deep balls its like they get confused and cant track the ball.
