Yes he did. I saw that. But not the OP. He had a great list, but punters like him can make a great difference in flipping the field.

I haven't been this happy with our punter and fg kicker at the same time in ages. Kicking game is lights out

I wouldn't call it poor play by the players themselves, but I was hoping the passing game would incorporate the TEs more.

We've recruited a bunch of dudes for that room and their blocking has been excellent.

But I want to see a dynamic pass catching TE out there. Perhaps it's more on Russell than scheme, but I hope we improve in that area.

I was definitely hoping Trae’shawn lived up to the hype he was getting in the spring and fall camp and he has. Dude is a stud and a great find by our staff. And I agree that he needs more touches. Hill, Crowell, and Brown give us 3 really good options.
As a lot have mentioned, Woodson and Thompkins have been studs and have really helped take our defense to another level.

CKW has done a phenomenal job, and I’m so happy for him personally to finally the recognition he deserves, and to be fully embraced by the fanbase.

The defense practically drug the offense kicking and screaming to the Playoffs last year, and was one Milroe meltdown away (UTjr especially and also OU) in Year 1 from doing the same.

Now he has the bodies and mass up-front, and the speed at the 2nd level to match precisely what he wants to do.

You can tell he’s having a blast. He’s a Gump, and has always viewed Alabama as the mecca of CFB.

He did a really good at South Alabama in Mobile, and I’m just really hoping he will be content as a DC and hold out 8-10 years the way Kirby did without leaving prematurely for a HC job.

Marshall Pritchett is going to have a good year for us. He is a good athlete. Didn't we hand it off to him last week? That has got to mean the coaches like what they see in practice.

Mack Sutter is a true freshmen but one day he will be a beast.

A little surprised KR struggles with "composures" issues. The two INT's were horrible throws. Not reading the D well enough at times to see they are bringing the house.


I'll probably catch heat for this... But KR first year is turning out to be similar to Arch Manning last year. I see the o line as the main problem on offense.. The left guard being especially bad. This compounds with KR seeming to be a little slow at processing defense at game speed with an o line that gives him very little time. I think this will become even more difficult come the games in October. Finally, Grubb is the shite wrapper over an all this. His play calling is terrible and does the o line and QB no favors.

Ahhhh but that defense. That shite is a thing of beauty right now. Currently, it has given up 1 3rd down conversion through 2 games.
