Should we worry about Addae in that regardHeard the same from coaches who have watched our film.
It’s hard to evaluate coaches in a vacuum (a lot goes into on-field performance) but the DBs regressed mightily and were the biggest reason we struggled so bad tackling.
So far in practice, they look much improved under Addae. The real test will be games.
Recruiting is a different story. TRob is the best.
Good reporting as always! O line and linebacker sound concerning, but it is what it is and has been addressed in recruiting. Physicality in general being up is music to my ears. We played flag football last year.
Tough cognitive dissonance happening with the Leonard Taylor situation. He showed a few flashes when he played but I don’t think I’ve ever heard him mentioned standing out a single time in any practice ever. Alarm bells going off there. By now we should have seen something.
I heard addae has told people he’s only going to be here a year or two. I’m sure that doesn’t help with recruiting. But from what I’ve heard he sure can coach. Need DVD to help step it up with our db recruiting.Should we worry about Addae in that regard
Reports sounded like Caleb Johnson was the next linebacker we had. Interesting he didn’t start, but not going to read too much into it only 1 scrimmage in.
In reality Saban could have hired anybody to coach DBs and they would have had similar success. Bama signs 5* DBs every year.I’ve heard a few times from inside the building that T-Rob wasn’t as good a coach as billed.
I have a hard time believing that, since the minute he put his name in the hat, he ended up at Bama under Sabag and is back to reeling in 5* kids.
I now wonder if there really is some truth to this, since post Robinson, the DB’s are really stepping up.
Any thoughts here @DMoney?
@DMoney 20 days out what are your season predictions?
Mallory not mentioned. Is he being passed because of unsound blocking?
They've been the best because they've had talent all over, and they poured resources into football, and cheated to buy recruits.
In the NFL only 3 of the top 15 DT's are from the SEC.
Clemson has 3 by themselves. So maybe Moten looks like a Clemson DT.
Hopefully the difference of being able to heavily utilize the portal buys us a 10th win and division championship compared to those seasons.This feels like 2016 Miami or 2018 Oregon to me. Established QB, holes that need to be filled in recruiting.
We will be better but I look for the big leap in Year 2.
And Oline healthReceivers gonna make or break this team it feels like.
