Yeah, but he ran over our starting RG some as well.

It pains me, but I disagree. LSU's passing game consists of Brandon Harris carelessly flinging the ball in the air for 40 yards and our receivers just making a play. He isn't strategically harassing the defense and driving the team down the field like Tom Brady.

There is something missing. I don't know if it is want to slap him in the face Coker, OL, or want to slap him in the face Kiffin.

Should work great against tGumps.

I don't see how anyone can say Coker is the problem. Coker has played well.

Problem begins and ends with the Oline.

Firing Cristobal is a must. It all starts up front and the o-line has been garbage. They're 109th in 3rd down conversion rate and 123rd in tackles for loss allowed. That's on the offensive line. There's been so many negative plays that this offense is constantly in second and long, third and long situations. It's hard to have a good offense when your offense is always in those situations.

Ridley is going to be scary. Only a freshmen!

Coker gets better every week. Makes fewer and fewer mistakes and more good throws.

The OL, particularly the tackles, were mediocre to begin the year and have regressed. The word is he's hurt, but no matter the reason Cam Robinson's the worst player on Bama's starting 11 right now.

I rarely agree with your posts, but you are spot on here. All these folks screaming run it right at them are somehow failing to notice how Bama is consistently getting their shait pushed in when they do that in the red zone.

Kiffin and Saban may well prefer to line up and run it right at them, but that simply isn't possible with the line play Bama is getting lately.

If you said - Offensive line, you nailed it.

If you said skill positions, go back and learn football.

Tennessee defense overwhelmed our offensive line all game.

Good players.
Henry is a great RB.
Line is good.

WR catch the ball.
QB is tough. Sometimes he makes mistakes.
All in all, if you don't turn the ball over 24 points wins any game you play- I think

Harris has thrown exactly 0 interceptions in 2015. I wouldn't exactly call that careless. He is no Tom Brady. Very few are, considering he's one of the greatest qb's to ever play, so comparing a first year starter to him is a little unrealistic.

Anyways, Coker is easily the worst quarterback Saban has had. Bama's entire offense is Derrick Henry.

Coker has done well the last few games when he wasn't running for his life as soon as he snaps the ball. Some of the worst Oline play I've seen from us in a while. Hopefully the bye week will allow us to work on fundamentals and get our shite together.

I really like the way Coker has played. He just needs to learn to throw it away. Henry is not being used right to my untrained eye. And he still puts up absurd numbers.

I'm still surprised that saban allows lane kiffin anywhere around him, let alone calling his plays!!

did you even watch our game yesterday? Yes, Henry is a horse, but Coker makes a lot of clutch plays with his feet and arm. He is and has been a weapon for us in most of our games this season.

1. OL is the weak link (and not to past standards) but still above average when compared to others

2. Since the OM game, Coker is an average-to-above-average QB with a very strong arm and decent accuracy. He has no time to throw.

3. The receivers are improving. Howard and Stewart had a lot of catches yesterday. They miss Robert Foster.

4. The defense gave up yards yesterday but stiffened late - only allowing long FG attempts.

5. Special Teams have risen this season to average. But they have always been under Saban.

6. The big stat - They have the best head football coach in the country. Period. They can win every game going forward - even playoff games.

Confused since Kiffen. IMO your strength is running and play action. Ridley should be incorporated more on sweeps and in passing game.
Henry needs help to get going too much.
It's going to get interesting on 11/7.
