Hard to argue with them. That was a great clip. Thanks for posting.

Disregarding the talent aspect for a moment, the boost from just playing with roughly the same guys for 3-ish years together can't be overstated. From a scheme to just familiarity on the field, today's game you have so much roster turnover each year you spend half your practice time just getting guys on the same page every offseason.

Man those were the days weren't they? Now, instead of us getting to see all these great players sit the bench, we have to watch them play against each other. Sure do miss the old days.....(eyeroll)

Hoarding talent. Playing keep away from other programs.
That was the change Saban was sad to see happening ….

He was just really good at building rapport with young athletes. They liked him so much that they were willing to be his 3rd stringers rather than start elsewhere.

Kirby using Clubber Lang as an example of brute physicality moves him up a notch in my book.

Reggie Ragland and Dre Kirkpatrick primarily played Special Teams their freshman seasons at Alabama. Can you imagine guys like that taking a back seat and playing Special Teams for a season now while becoming acclimated to the college game and the SEC ?!! Hell no. Doesn't happen.

This new brand of football is just a worse product AND it hurts player development.

I personally prefer that teams don't have 3 deep depth full of 5* talent. Coaches having to work a bit harder now and there's more balance in the game.
