Wow.. that is hugely concerning. I can’t believe he said that. I mean the busted coverages are one thing, but the Ole Miss OL absolutely man handled the interior DL for the majority of the game - especially Barmore and Dale.

That’s mind blowing he would say that, and like you said, it sets a horrible example for the younger the players behind him on the depth chart. This mentality of “oh well, we tried” has got to go.

I would love to see the look on Roach's face after those comments by his group. Then again (not recruiting rankings but field performance ) we have a front 7 of average people with #31 having the best shot of breaking out of that group. #58 is the next guy up as far as effort. JMO

18 48 47 92 5 are very average for Alabama.

I've long said this and firmly believe it still.

Talent is king on defense, but you have got to have a few mean players.

I've seen it from Josh Jobe but that's about it on defense. The guys on BOL are all worried about Josh Jobe getting a personal foul. I wouldn't mind it at all, hit those frickers in the mouth and show some fight. Waddle, Najee, and Dickerson are dogs on the other side of the ball.

We've come a long way from Ronnie Harrison needing to be restrained on the sideline or Rolando McClain suplexing a virginia tech wide receiver. When you can channel that aggression you've got a dog that will hunt. It has to exist to channel it though, and you need a leader that can cultivate it.

I'm convinced that Wright and Battle are scared to death of squaring up and coming down hill on a running back. It wasn't long ago that Marlon Humphrey was meeting Leonard Fournette in the hole and planting him on his arse. Not ankle tackling him or grabbing him from behind, planting him on his arse. Our safeties today would shite their pants if they saw Leonard Fournette with a head of steam. But that's okay, because their teammates aren't going to cuss them out for it like they would've then. They're going to praise their effort. This is a group mentality. I can't imagine how bad our first team offense kicked the shite out of the defense in fall scrimmages.
