Jaedon Roberts couldn’t help?

What’s the deal with Roberts not playing?

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Bama started the game running well about five yards a clip then we called that stupid slow developing run play with Brooks and never really tried after that. After they went down by 21 though we didn’t have time to run the ball hence 9 attempts. Plus if we can’t throw deep how in the world do we get the defense to quit crowding the box. I’m not saying the OL makes all their blocks but there are plenty of times they seem to be locked up on a man getting push but there are more defenders than there are blockers. If we had RB with vision that would help some.

We just don’t win many one on one battles in the trenches …. Plain and simple . You can try to scheme up different runs (zone vs man ) but doesn’t matter when you get beat consistently one on one

18 pressures and 3 sacks . I guess you can technically say the players “ should have been coached better “ but that was player problem last night . Terrible effort . There are a couple of linemen I am ready to see graduate

Geno Van Demark got his shite pushed in yesterday. The whole unit looked like 2005 Iron Bowl level bad.

Has me wondering how many of the OLinemen that carried over from Saban's tenure just don't fit what DeBoer wants to do, making it a square peg situation.

I get that to a degree, but aside from Proctor and Formby, who else was a Saban recruit that plays? It’s a coaching issue, period. These coaches are not getting the potential out of the players along the OL. Or honestly at many positions.

Grubb seems hell bent on letting talent win matchups instead of scheming up plays to get your guys in favorable matchups.

Roberts weight is too far forward (road grader) to do well on horizontal/pull and pass pro. With weight that far out on his toes, a side club and swim, he is eating dirt.

Geno has 3 stances before the snap. Weigh on his down hand (white knickles) he is run blocking. Weight more ballanced, he is pass blocking. Weight sitting back in his stance he is pulling. Good DC's and IDL/LB have been taught to read this and follow him to the play

Formby's weight is better ballanced but he has very slow feet. When he does run block his weight shifts too far forward to help get push. He is then off ballance for a IDL with a good hand shiver and rip.

Tw1st3d,

Obviously our talent on the OL doesn't match what we want to do running the ball right now, couldn't the staff add more power schemes to run the ball preseason until we get the OL to match what want to do?

To me, just seems hard headed and cost this team greatly

Gotta think there's some beef between him and the OL coach?

Don’t think too hard although I don't see that being an issue....
