Something is going on behinds the scene. We played just ok against LSU and still could have won. We regressed against ARK which is a much worse team. That aint just execution. These guys dont look like they believe anymore on O. That's a coach thing.

Sorry, but this is dumb. It's very difficult to have a coherent offense if we consistently allow defenders in Stidham's face.


I'm not blaming it on chip but someone will get the axe or at the very least be on a extremely hot seat if we don't improve offensively and go 8-5 and we all know it won't be our 7million dollar man.

OR

We were switching around players on our OL trying to find the best combination. USM is of similar caliber as Arky. I'm willing to bet our new OL will look much better this weekend



Anyway....any recruits coming this weekend?

New season, same story. Too bad we wasted yet another fall camp not finding our best players.

You act like we’re the only team that has position changes as the season goes on. I know this is one of your favorite things to say, but it’s sort of a moot point.

Go for it. Regardless, our troubles at OL are better explained by: subpar recruiting, injuries, new coach. The whole "we don't use fall camp properly, 1v1's" narrative just isn't true.

Well FWIW the only change we made this year DID have to do with injuries. Brahms didn't get healthy until week before season opener after missing all of fall camp

Not that facts like that ever matter to your arguments

Dude fricking dips out the entire offseason, clearly pays no attention, and calls those of us that did "market rate morons" for not buying his ill informed opinion.

So what are we doing that we can't get an idea on our OL, can't see which rb to play, and which WR are actually SEC caliber until 4 games into the season?

I undestand that. But we have 80+ guys on scholarship and only two of them can play center?

I do agree that it's frustrating AU gets off to such slow starts every year. I don't have an answer for fixing it

But the idea that this is only an AU problem is absurd. Hell Saban played Hurts over Tua all the way until the 2nd half of national title game last year

Well the other is a true freshman. How many centers do you think we should have on roster?

Also they experimented with Horton at center some this offseason as well. Guessing by his performances on field this year those didn't go well either

AU right now is paying for the failures of Grimes's recruiting his 1st stint & Herb Hand's inability to develop the talent Grimes was able to sign (aka the 2015 class) the past two seasons. Not saying coaches are blameless or don't deserve criticism. Just you are choosing the weirdest & wrong thing to complain about

Actually, Horton isn't at center because Calvin Ashley sucks and couldn't play guard.

Him and Troxell not being able to even get a look despite our struggles is really the worst part of all this. If they arne't the answer then we don't have one and won't for a while.
