What does behind the play normally mean? It means that the ball carrier has already made his way past someone. That makes them behind the play. That doesn't change simply because it is an interception or involves a QB. Murray was IN FRONT of the play and tracking to get in FRONT of the ball carrier. At no point during the play was he ever BEHIND anything.

Wrong. He never said that the DB was beyond the Dial hit. He said Murray was roughly 15 yards BEHIND the play, explaining that Murray was closer to the center of the field, and the DB was closer to the sidelines.

You jackasses just make shite up when it comes to Brando and what he supposedly says. If the guy isnt professing his love for Sabans sack yall immediately think he is against Alabama. Its a tired act


Well that's a lie as well.

Dial blocks him at the 44, he lands at the 45.

Clinton-Dix is tackled at the 48 and lands at the 47.

2 - 4 yards separate them when the play is over.




No one calls out kickoff return team blocks that are 25 yards away from the return man do they?

Did you hear the fricking interview? Its obvious you didnt because if you actually did he clearly explained what he meant by being behind the play.

Once again no one, and I'll repeat it once again for the slower hooked on phonics crowd, NO ONE has complained about the fact that Dial blocked Murray. People are outraged over the fact that it was a clear as day helmet to helmet hit that was not flagged. Thats the fricking outrage! How hard is it to comprehend? It was a cheap shot plain and simple. If the guy wants to lay Murray or any other player out thays fine. Just make sure its a clean legal hit.

He said the hit was at midfield, and the returner was on the sideline. He fabricated a lie and refused to acknowledge it when called out on it. The returner and Murray was within 5 yds of each other when both were on the ground. And within 7 yds before the returner was on the ground.

What Brando did was try to spin his own hyperbole into something that was closer to reality without admitting that he fabricated a story for effect. You cannot explain what you meant by "behind" when there is a generally accepted definition of behind a play as it applies to football, and if you are a broadcaster with decades of experience, you damn well know what being "behind a play" means.

Brando tried to fabricate a story where there was none and his cohorts tagged along. If Dial made that hit on a running back, no one says a damn word other than, "DAMNNNNN!", and that's a fricking fact. Because it was a damn right vicious, blindside hit on a QB everyone wants to jump on the cheap shot train, and Brando was the first. When he was called out on the inaccuracy of his statement, he tried to backpedal.

He's just a broadcaster doing his job and adding drama to a game, but he got called on it. He should have admitted it and said, "Well the footage I had available made it appear he was behind the play. I still believe he lead with his helmet and it should be a penalty." No one would care. National broadcast trumps regional radio show when it comes to making an impression.

But Brando's ego is such that he cannot be wrong. He especially cannot be proven wrong by a "redneck" fanbase he views as inferior.

If this exact same hit was done on a rb, te, wr, or lineman the same outrage would be had because it was a helmet to helmet hit that wasnt called. End of story, theres no way to spin it.
It was a helmet to helmet hit and what made it worse to GA fans is that the penalty for the hit on AJ was as pussy of a hit as you can have and it got flagged because AJ cried to the official. So clearly precedent(sp?) was set for the game. Then you have the Dial hit that was clearly helmet to helmet and nothing is called. if you call a penalty for AJ's soccer flop then you call it on Diala hit.

Hat on hat. Find a man and block him.

I have no doubt he was going for a big hit--that's football.

Murray was down field and headed for the ball carrier.

Great gif.

He is literally the worst person on air.

When he's on the radio, he talks over every single caller. Lets them get 5 words in then they are done. He is never wrong and will belittle callers on the reg.

And a hit to the helmet wouldn't have caused Murray's head to move towards the point of impact, but physics is lost on most people. And sight is as well since the shoulder visibly touches Murray first.

Tired topic is tired. Some people just wanna whine.

It's Division 1 football.

Helmet to helmet is only illegal if the player leads with the crown of his helmet or hits a defenseless player defined in this case as someone obviously out of the play.

That last part is why Brando's description of Murray as being "behind" the play is so relevant to the discussion. If Murray truly were behind the play, there would be a much stronger case for him being a defenseless player than if he is ahead and to the side of the play.

I heard it. My post had nothing to do with if it was legit hit or not but was a slam on the LSU homer Brando for lying. It very clear that Brando said the play was behind HaHa meaning that HaHa had already gone past Murray which was a bald face lie. Period.

people are outraged on hear because there are a ton of people who will latch onto and harp about anything they think portrays alabama in a negative light due to a massive case of program envy, end of story. murray was not hurt, and he learned a valuable lesson about what not to do on an int as a qb if you dont want to get leveled.
