I can't see a player just coming off an injury where he was still pissing blood going into game week being that vocal about playing. Maybe he did talk to the coach and push for more playing time going forwards, but I doubt it was quite like his high school coach portrayed. I don't know, could have happened, I guess.

He looked slow in the open field. May have been thinking too much.

I've been saying this for years.
First of all about the lack of an alpha ILB for years that's not true. We had one he simply fell victim to exactly what this guy is saying- Drew Sanders was an ILB all the way, but our dipshit coaches let him rot on the bench stuck in logjam at OLB, and now he's playing All American level football for Arkansas at ILB. fricking idiots.
The Saban that came in and had his 08 class starting in front of every upperclassman on the team doesn't exist anymore.
There was a standard back then, and if you didnt perform you were replaced. Saban hasn't been like that in years.
It was only when all hope was lost in the '17 title game that they finally turned to all the younger players to save their arse and guess what ? They totally bailed us out.
The fricking debacle at Center on the OL for TWO frickING YEARS so we dont hurt an upperclassmans feelings. It all reeks of weakness.

Moody did play because he came in on a strange play.
I think it was on the Hail Mary before halftime if I'm not mistaken.
I was like...that's who we need in the game right there.

You're right it was a play like that. I was like what the hell because I figured he was still hurt (that seemed to be the only reason he wouldn't be out there).

Some of the DB's didn't do too much there.

Sanders has been OK in the last 3 games, but not really All-American level. He got hurt, and missed some games, and his job got taken. It happens. I don't believe that he would've been a game changer on Saturday, and our LB play has been good outside of Saturday.
The idea that Saban won't play an underclassman over an upper classman is kind of insane to me considering how many freshmen we've seen start and get playing time at Bama.

10 really is pretty out of place honestly. He isn't athletic and isn't a super physical LB to offset it

He doesn't do it across the board, but he has done it several times.

What, in your opinion, do you think determines whether or not he is going to start a underclassman over an underclassman? Why would he do it at one position, and not the other? Clearly QB is the exception, as having experience is a huge factor at that position.

Case by case basis. Not really always underclassman vs upperclassman, sometimes it might be between a SR/JR or a Soph/Fr.
Most obvious was Hurts vs Tua. Experience doesn't mean squat if you aren't getting the job done. Cost us the barn game that year and almost a couple more counting the national title game.
Center this year is another case.

I'm just tired of us getting pushed around. Every OLine this season has been able to get 2-3 yards of push on us in short yardage situations. We have no shot in a goal line jumbo package.
UT ran a qb sneak on 3 and 1 and got 4 yards. I knew the game was lost then

every time is was a 2nd and 1 or 3rd and 1 UT ran the same play..read option and RB hand off in the middle...worked every time...where was our MLB? UT ran for over 180yds..a lot of that after first contact. HTT was carried 4 or 5 yards by the RB on multiple occasions..we need to be stronger at that position. Maybe Saban was sees it as he's mentioned noone is entitled to a position..i hope that is true.

Don't ever speak again. Henry isn't athletic?? Dude literally can move sideline to sideline.
He isn't blessed with crazy size but he has good speed. He doesn't have a dominant defensive line in front of him either.
Moody & HT are darn good linebackers though.

Coach is telling the truth. Say what you will but the staff would've started Drew Sanders over Moody and Moody had more experience at ILB. Moody only came back after the staff convinced him to once Drew Sanders made his decision to leave. Henry T was billed to be a star but he's nothing more than a role player. He isn't an NFL player. Meanwhile, Moody has easily been our best LBer. Hell, I feel like we should play Lawson and Moody and sit Henry T. Henry is too small and I'm damn tired of seeing him jump on piles to stat pad.

Saban has gone soft and therefore his coaches and players are now soft. Fish stinks from the head. It’s his job and his alone to fix it. No, I don’t want another coach, but let’s stop finding people to blame.
Saban is lord and master of Alabama football, that’s what he wanted, so now he gets the blame and the responsibility to fix what’s broken.

Y'all can say what you want but Moody balled against Texas. Henry T has been missing since he got to Bama. We have never had such poor LB play. Hell, I don't know if you're watching but Shane Lee at USC is having a better season up to this point than Henry T.
Posted on 10/18/22 at 3:56 pm to Shaft Williams
Down vote me all you want but Henry T is a scrub. Dallas Turner and Moody are two of the few on defense who play with fire.

The rot that is Pete Golding has set in. Saban, like any good coach, gives his coordinators a lot of control. So, this is Golding's defense in my opinion. Saban better remove Golding after this season. If not, then I know Saban is now washed up.

Former players are talking about the LB play or lack thereof. The Bama DC job has always been too big for Golding and it's apparent now he's just not on the level that's required of a Bama DC. Go get Jimmy Lake, see what's going on with Pruitt's case, and/or go to the NFL and get a guy that has the chops to be a major DC.
