Ya'll were harsh on Talty, and now harsh on RW. Damn.

I couldn't care less about what you think.

 

[Nothing_But_A_Winner00]

Hope he stays and gets better.

Think he has too lose the fear. Seemed like putting him in the slot just got in his head, he doesn't want to be hit imo.

That's such an aggressive answer.......

That's pretty much it.

I think it's confidence. Look at Ty for the same thing.

He definitely needs to get tougher... and needs to understand that he cant get by on talent alone anymore like he did in HS. He hasn't had a great support system around him (off the field) that really have his best interests in mind and he's not mature enough (yet?) to handle that well. But he is tremendously talented and if he ever decides to put in the extra time to tap into all of it... like a Jalen Hurts or DeVonta Smith, he will take off.

Watched him go across the middle on one play and he fell down twice... kid is afraid and I'm not sure if it can be cured this far into his career.

Since he got roughed up last year he has played timid or scared IMO and he does not block down field.

His parents enjoying the good life. This cat doesn't have the desire to be great nor the discipline to get there. You can't keep funding a nonproductive player with big dollars because the other players are going to resent and you get even more problems.

Kalen and staff have been very kind to #2.

How does that explain his drops? They haven't all been across the middle.

He's scared of what's coming if he catches it.
He's never been a great catcher, doesn't catch with his hands. Throw in fear and it's abilities plus the mental aspect. I'm not saying he hasn't lost some confidence as well but he hasn't played the same after taking a couple shots.

Spent offseason with Devota.
.... ( or so i understand) .....
Thought that would do it.

Great roll model.

 

[rick4bama]

I have zero problems with that guy hitting the door.

Then, what will it be when he stays at Bama?

 

[The Dude]

Honestly:
Bernard = more reliable
Horton = more reliable
Brooks = more reliable
Cuevas = more reliable
Probably a few more. I know the kid has talent but until you show it consistently, it’s all hype.
I hope he stays, and I hope he figures it out, but what game in the last 6 was he the difference???
This may spur a different convo, but RM was told how great he was last year and he believed it. He thought he could walk through this year and be great again. Devonta worked his ass off and he got a trophy and several rings. RW could too but I get the feeling he doesn’t have that same drive.

How much less could you care? Or, did you mean that you couldn't care less?

Of course he doesn’t have the same drive, he’s being PAID now.

I hate when folks misuse that phrase. It like not knowing the difference in there, their and they’re.


As for Williams and those drops. So, I am not impressed. He’s a little over rated IMO. But. He’s also young and probably not completely mature as his fellow receivers. I think he will have a hell of a junior season and hope he keeps rolling with the tide.

How would you know that? You're not on the field with him

 

[64Tide]

That’s easy, he’s not driven enough to work through his weaknesses and get better. Are there any stories coming out of Tuscaloosa that he’s working after practice/before practice to get better? No there’s not.
