If Picou nor phillips got reps at DT that is bad coaching.
Alexis Johnson was out and obviously O'brien was out. They should have planned better than that.

I'd venture to say he is fibbing on that one. Kyle I can see but Picu most def was getting DT reps. Maybe he meant in terms of the gameplan planned rotation reps. I can see that being what he meant as well.

It sure would be nice to have Zach Cunnigham right now. He chose Vandy over us but I think we weren't ready to accept commitment. One of those low ranked guys posters made fun of and turns into a stsr

I don't sound crazy. Talking this team up like they are the patriots is crazy.

1. Overall - we simply don't have the talent to win a national championship yet.

2. You don't rebuild from FCS level talent to National Championship talent in 3.5 years.

3. We don't have the horses at DT.

4. Offensive line isn't good enough overall, especially at tackle.

5. Secondary outside of Sutton isn't good enough to be considered national championship caliber.

When you are talking about being a national champion, you don't have this many question marks. We play in the SEC. We don't get to show up twice a year and go 11-1 or 12-0 like the other conferences.

This team winning the east and going 10-2 will be great.

You gave me props and yours are due as well.

Good post.

The talent at majority of the positions is there. We are missing some key depth and backup talent that has been exposed from injuries (DT, OL, LB, CB). Those were everyone's question marks and you now see why.

I think last years team wasn't taken seriously enough. We showed up and balled out as underdogs and got ourselves some really close games that we should have won.Now this year people know what we have and respected us. They gamed up for us. We were the favorites. So we got the best game out of everyone.

And we didn't execute in the first half as well as we could've. That led to starters being in games longer and injuries.

Freaky fluke injuries. But they added up.

Now, we're sitting 5-2 with a clear shot at 10-2. SECe champs. Hope to pull a close game in SECCG. Get to a NY6 bowl or MAYBE win the SECCG and enough chaos ensues elsewhere that gets us in the playoffs.

VERY UNLIKELY. But possible.

Enjoy the ride ladies and gentlemen. We only get this for so long.

Butch needs to make some coaching adjustments.

Roster needs a bit more help.

We're getting there.

How quickly we forget being 5-7 for 3 years straight.

They are corrupt in every way possible. That's why Saban wanted total control and he has it...he controls his program, university, state, SEC, and NCAA. It's why he didn't leave a couple years ago for Texas. He couldn't get total control there...they wouldn't allow it. I hope the truth comes out soon after he retires, and they have to vacate all of these NCs. Would be hilarious!

Notice what happens when you beat Saban a couple of years in a row, the NCAA comes knocking at your door. Alabama/Saban is akin to organized crime.

I know they claim the championship is the biggest criteria but I have a hard time believing 49-10 will be pushed under the rug without a rematch. I know I damn sure would vote Bama getting in at 11-1 over us at 11-2 if A&M beats Bama this week if I was on the committee.

But you're not...on the committee. The last time Bama won the NC without winning their own conference (or division), they didn't face the team that beat them until the championship game. They wouldn't get a chance for a " rematch" if the team that beat them LOST in a conference championship game. The conference championship factor is bigger than you'd ever admit. I could see a scenario where NEITHER gets in...specially if Uwash,Clemson/Louisville ACC rep,Michigan/Ohio State winner and Baylor win out.

agreed on both being left out. Baylor is key IMO

Depth/Injuries could be another point (possibly in place of a couple of yours). It's always an unknown, but we'd have big injuries to positions with arguably the least amount of depth. Our last two games have exposed it.

There are injuries every year but losing your top playmakers on defense guts you. This team lost top flight guys at CB and LB. Plus the backups at LB and CB. Not a team that can survive that. BAMA included in that as well. If Bama had lost their entire O-line like we did versus us then what would be the results? Barnett was butchering Cam Robinson so what would he do to the backup.

I wonder if JRM would've blasted Hurts early on one of those QB runs? I mean he has done it in the past. He was tackling Henry 1 on 1 last year all game. Kirkland met Henry on the goalline nose to nose. Stopped him in his tracks. He took over the Va.Tech game (8 tackles, 3 TFLS, 1 Sack) before he left. You don't lose both usually. Maybe one key LB but not two and their backups. Smh

You lose guys that are Top 5 in the country at their position (Sutton and JRM)and think it's normal.

We don't have the talent to win a natty on this team is hilarious. We lost to two playoff teams last year that we should've beat with a healthy team. And this team is more talented when healthy. Our own fans are crazy and the posters liking that post are even crazier.

Last year maybe, this year the comment falls flat

It's doesn't matter how bad you're getting beat or how bad you're breaking someone the outfield need to be unbiased and they show week in and week out that is impossible for the officials when it comes to Alabama
