re: Sloppiest game I've seen under Saban

Scoring ten points is a big issue. That is on Sims, the o-line outside of Cam Rob, the WRs, the TEs, etc.

I think it's time for a shakeup and put some youth out there instead of seniority. Let's have an open competition at some spots. If Shank and Leon are equal, why not start Shank because he will be back next year? What about Hill?

For WRs, we know what Jones can do, and it isn't enough. If Ar'Darius Stewart can match his production, why not put him out there instead? Those reps that he takes now will be valuable later.

For kickoff and punt returns, I don't think Stewart/Black/Hump could do any worse than Jones. Why not give them a shot?

And if Sims was injured let him heal. If he wasn't, and this is how we can expect him to play when facing legit compeition, this will be a long year. Like you said, our defense isn't very good. We can't win with Greg McElroy under center anymore.
