Looks like you can see that front foot come down before the right foot steps down on the boundary line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word is fat lol. Fat. He was actually skinny when he got to bama which is probably what you're thinking of. He is trending straight to 300.

Going Commando Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Alabama is an absolute machine. But it's unsatisfying to see the #1 recruiting classes so consistently win the CFP. I have no idea what can be done about that, but it'd be nice if more of the real competition in the sport happened outside of the recruiting game. We need some Cindarellas. 5 minutes ago, Number 44 said: No point arguing with him. He's pushing his false narrative for reasons all his own.

Going Commando Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Pretty big contrast in on-field personality and body language between Landon Dickerson and Creed Humphrey. It's clear Dickerson is one of the most popular players in that program and is genuinely loved by his teammates and coaches. Humphrey is the rare diva at the center position.

Malapropismic Depository Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 So how many Bama brothers we gonna draft or sign, for Allen, Payne, Collins and C-Sims, to play with ? We got a lot of compensating to do, to make up for the loss of Bammers like SDH, Reuben Foster, Hale Hentges, and possibly Ryan Anderson, and maybe Piersbacher. Also, didn't know that the other R-Foster, WR Robert is also from Bama. We need some more Alabama Crimson, to make our Burgundy the right shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just are way off anything written by media types, which doesn't mean all that much, but also way off what I've seen. Just can't believe we've been looking at the same games.

Media and other supporters of certain players tend to blame the team and organization for not developing players, 1st Rounders, or certain QB's. Which seems baffling, considering that young UDFA's like Heinicke seemed to develop into a starting-calibre QB, in a short time, in this same environment. He actually seemed to improve his game, after just a short time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really read or pay much attention to media scouts. My takes are based off what I see and I don't really form takes on players I haven't watched. I went back through Jones's cut ups prior to this game and those were the conclusions I reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about Jones though. Haskins was set up to fail here and he failed. He didn't handle adversity well, but good teams also don't force their QB prospects into dealing with constant adversity. That's the truth and it's a common outcome for first round QBs in the NFL. That doesn't mean these kids aren't good prospects. It takes luck and quite a bit of help from your team to grow into a franchise QB in the NFL, and as sort of a basic requirement for successful development, you need a coaching staff that's in your corner.

Just a read I got from watching his body language in games where things weren't easy. Sulking and loafing and making sure everyone on the field was aware that he was hurt. Not very nasty and plays with some indifference. Poor showings in the losses and down the stretch of the 2019 season that soured me on him. He's talented but not the kind of leader or tone setter an NFL team would want in a center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Allen benefitted from a really patient fan base, an entire city of people who love the guy, organizational support and excellent development on top of his work ethic and abilities. Lance will have to earn Allen status. We are patient! We gave Young like 3 weeks before ****ing about him! 11 minutes ago, stevemcqueen1 said: Haskins was set up to fail here and he failed.

He did absolutely nothing to earn it. Nothing. You can have the greatest staff in the world, if you're not willing to put in the effort, you will not make it in this league. Plus, he had the emotional maturity of a 6 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
