Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Matthews comments read to me as coach speak for “get your ass in gear and learn the book or you won’t be playing”


If a guy is out of position because he’s not on his route tree that’s a huge turnover liability

That's exactly why you see an injured Squirrel as a first option right now I think. His legs are fine and he knows his route tree so not only will he run the "hot" routes (where he's target 1) correctly, but the other ones right as well when his job is to pull defenders away from the other targets.
 
I get the narrative we need Al to win because it’s our best win to date but I don’t care, I want them to lose to LSU in a close game!

I want bama to begin their fall to mediocrity! I want their recruiting to falter and see the pre-Saban tide!

I’ll take my chances at 10-2 and we could still be 11-1! JMO
 
Gambled, was a poor attempt at humor, playing off your comment. 👀 Swidt?

That said, wouldnt you like to have a dedicated, stickied gambling specific thread? One where you could post infinite screen shots of beating lady luck!

Fwiw, I enjoy the back and forth. Talking **** is a completely underrated pastime.

Rinse and repeat. I do not think pointing this out will help those posters/fans at all. They will continue doing what they do. But yes the point is completely accurate.
I for one am very glad that Heup has the will and stubbornness to resist the whims of "let's eat the cookies before they are done baking" crowd. It is a very Saban-like quality. One of the reasons that made me think Saban was losing his mojo was the quick benching of Milroe last season. He gave in and made a knee jerk move. If the fans on Finebam like your decision you can bank that it is the wrong one.

I read where it has to do with YouTube not recognizing your proxy. I turned off my VPN and it seemed to work fine. And turned it back on the next time and it has worked fine since.

I thought I might've been over thinking it but I was thinking along the same lines. It is obvious that Squirrel is not much use as a receiver right now, if he was near 100% he would've made that catch on the shot play against Alabubba. He can't lift his arm over his head very well. But if the other team doesn't realize that or believe he's 80% he is very useful as a decoy. I think the cat is totally out of the bag now and if he's not somewhat healthy he should not play.
 

Maybe we can retire attention whore Dick Bombs soon.

As much as I 'dislike' Bob, he is a VFL through and through. Part of old Dick Broadcasting group, not ironically. Has gone about it with class, and dignity.

If he does retire, and I do hope he does. For his sake, everyone should have that chance. I hope HE gets full credit and attention for breaking news. Dickbombs should retire.
