Since the Florida game, TM7 has been a nonfactor. He was on fire, smoked it and disappeared. Needs to come up big Friday

I think Lester and Barron for Bama can qualify.

I cannot remember the thread, but someone discussed the notion that these two are overrated simply because they are starting safeties for Bama. Specifically in Barron's case, there is a sense that he must be a great ball player since he has started for Saban, the "DB Guru", for so long. He is better by osmosis from Saban or something.

Its like getting 1st team All-SEC votes because you are a 5th year senior on the OL. Being around for a while doesn't make you great necessarily.

maybe for clowns that dont understand the game but tm7 has done plenty since returning. He hasn't been in the same positions and he hasn't gotten a turnover since uf but he is still making plays. He put bamas tightend down for the game on a flat play, he ran down trent saving a td, he caused 2 sacks on him rushing and getting up in the air to cause aj to hold the ball. he tipped a pass in wku that lead to a pick. he has also downed a few punts inside the 5. He hasn't had the normal highlight plays we saw the first half of the year but he is playing fine. this is the issue with defensive players if they aren't making huge plays every game and they aren't being torched you dont hear their name so you forget the good things they are doing.

Haha he'll be fine. He's too good to be a non-factor for more a few games.
