The fact they left pretty much highlights where their priorities were.

Sometimes you add by subtracting.

I dunno man, I think Downs and Sabb would cover a lot of deficiencies at corner and nickel safety. It doesn't matter though. He ain't here and they're gonna have to figure out how to play championship defense without him.

Does Saab come if Downs doesn't leave?

Maybe.

Bernard is better than Bond and Ryan Williams is wayyyy better than Bond

Probably about the same as last year when we pounded y'all in Tuscaloosa

They'd help tremendously. We make us more formidable on both sides of the ball

Downs would make a difference. If Bond had stayed, maybe Williams is at Texas or Auburn,

At the end of the day, you can’t predict the butterfly effect.

That you are showing me a trick play against Miss St is not the flex you think it is.

Saab is not a downgrade from Downs, and he's better in coverage

DeBoer could’ve improved him as a player, but he’s no Ryan Williams.

You think misdirection is a trick play? That’s cute.

Maybe a hot take but Bond being there would mean a lot of the type of targets Williams was getting last night would go to Bond, and Williams is way better.

Bond is a great player, you’d rather have him than not. But I could see Bama being better long term letting the younger guys get time.

Defense is different now, so it's hard to say.

I am liking what I've seen. DB's with their eyes focused on the QB a hell of a lot more, confusing schemes, good blitzes, jumping routes etc. Made me think of when Pruitt was calling plays.

And our offense was scheming as well. Hadn't really seen that since the Kiffin/Sark days. Doesn't look like a kid playing Madden anymore.

A little concerning our D couldn't stop Georgia late once Beck stop getting confused. Some of that could be Georgia being in 4th down mode the entire 2nd half running short yards wearing out our defense. But still concerning. The energy levels were not the same in the 2nd half for whatever the reason.

Bond is doing fine over here, thanks for asking.

Projected 1st round draft choice.

One of the most common and well known types of trick plays really.

It's basically just a reverse of sorts, only the QB kept the ball instead of pitching to the first back.

If you want to show off a player, especially a receiver, you can surely find much better.
