Zero excuse here, see what DeBoer does here. He should be on the bench

DeBoer won’t bench players for embarrassing the entire program with a crash out on the field, he won’t bench a player for this effort.

What a half hearted effort. That was LOSER effort.

Mincey is a more talented player than him. I would start Zay this week and if he plays well then keep him in the lineup.

You think that's bad.

Look at Daniel Hill on the fumble play.

On the positive side I was impressed with Kevin Riley. He has a bright future.

Damn. Don’t even know what to say about that from a guy who was crushing people last year.

I missed that play but it’s inexcusable. He has to sit, but if they didn’t bench Malachi last year after Vandy they aren’t gonna bench him either.

Yeah, that’s very disappointing and telling from a kid that was a bright spot last year with his effort. That’s damning evidence of the complacency and rot in that locker room.

I think a lot of players read the headlines this off season about all the returning experience & talent and it got to their heads.

If he were in the NFL that’s the kind of play that gets you traded or cut.

I can make excuses for the DL due to injuries and being out schemed.

I can make excuses for the LB because of injuries and scheme.

I can’t make excuses for safeties who slow jog on pursuit or senior LBs hitting the wrong hole on a run play.

That’s the type of play you see when players quit on a coaching staff and we’re only 1 game into the season.

Coach will give him a stern talk. He’ll tell him that he’s not mad, but he’s disappointed. I bet that will change his tune.

Lol Daniel Hill blew his assignment/block which led to a fumble which Brailsford picked up and started running. Daniel didn't block shite and just jogged.

He got way too much hype after the way he finished last season.

There was plenty of that from multiple players yesterday. That play was the worst though. Any past Bama LBer would have blown that play up behind the line of scrimmage, but Jefferson was playing slow and timid and the guy ran right by him. Pathetic.

I'm watching a truncated version of the game and it's bad. The offensive line is really bad and the linebackers are awful.

But Bray Hubbard was giving shite effort play after play.

Watch this one.

I remember that play and a play where a RB came up the middle and Jefferson just watched him go by and thinking “ Hell they got money on FSU” just could not comprehend that effort at all

Jefferson was terrible yesterday, and Lawson cant run.

The best 2 defensive drives we had, there were backups in at LB.

The whole value prop on Hubbard is that he’s a Mark Barron / Vinnie Sunseri hitter.

He’s out there avoiding contact like an NFL CB after signing a big guaranteed deal.

Where are the analysts pointing this out in fall camp?

Where are the coaches yanking guys for lack of effort?
