re: Class of 2018 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: So Long Old Friend Edition

Meh. 3-4 stars did the same. 4* Jalen Hurts, 3- 4* (everyone on the Oline except for Williams)

quote:

---

We had an I'll be coach who could turn 3 stars to first day draft picks. Now we can't get 4 and 5 stars to be consistently average.

---

We've got to replace Brent Key. He gets the least out of his players.

Thanks for proving my point.

One of the few 3 stars beat out the other 4 and 5 stars.

Now do us all a favor and pull up the 4 and 5 stars that 3 star Wommack benched.

TIA

You said the entire line was 4-5*, I proved you wrong by pointing out a three star, and you said that proves your point?

I'm not saying Jalen played average or even good. He sucked tonght and that's coming from a supporter. Fact is though in 2009 McElroy sucked. We leaned in the OL and grounded out a win. 2012 Georgia is winning, Fluker gets pissed says run the damn ball behind me and Bama wins the game. Alabama has always had mediocre tonpoor QB play and every QB outside of AJ sucked until they won a big game like Coker. Truth is none of them were good but our OL was brilliant. They were mean arse meat eaters who took a game over. They haven't been that in 4 years and we have higher ranked linemen now than at any time in Saban tenure.

Everybody participated in the laying of that nasty egg yesterday. From the coaching staff to the players. From Saban not getting fired up and chewing peoples butt out to Daboll's non comprehensive play calling to Hurts comatose state infecting the whole offense and the fact that he's a rb playing qb. To senior wr Foster being so unaware of his position that he gave up a 1st down when all it took was falling backwards to keep a drive alive. To not only having to deal with 1st and Daboll but apparently we hung onto 3rd and Kirby. I told my brother early in the season this defense reminded me of the 2010 defense. Sadly this and other mistakes we haven't seen in a while all culminated in the gus bus celebration.

I hate the cliché we beat ourselves but our D beat themselves yesterday. Trying to arm tackle people, Hootie getting juked over and over, etc. The 14 points on offense may have been enough if not for all the mistakes on D that cost us giving up big yardage on missed tackles, blown assignments(endzone jump ball), and them converting on every freaking 3rd down.

Crazy Tony will only be missed for the humor he brings on the sidelines and before the game. His on the field play is awful.

That's what happens when you prioritize athleticism over football IQ.
