🏈 After ankle injury, Jalen returns to see action against The Citadel

[mando]

Seems like anyone would have a few nerves in that environment. It would probably take a little time but after a series or two I think Mac would be fine. This is based on my observation of A Day and his mop up duty role. No way to know for sure until it happens.

TBH I was shocked that Locksley's first play call (the false start) was a pass... Then had Mac run the option.... Kind of blew my mind lol.

But I'm sure he's gotten backup snaps the last 2 weeks and ML probably has a handful of pass plays he's very confident in with Mac. The bottom line is that the way our OL and DL played last weekend, the QB doesn't need to drive the speed boat like Tua... He can paddle us to victory!

I dont know if you know this Terry, but when they give you a shot of the players face, you can actually see their face through the helmet/face mask. I know, it's a very odd concept...

But you gonna tell me when didn't see that "deer in a headlight" look on Blake Barnett look either? Or did he have some special invisible facemask?

Here's what I was driving at, Josh.

Think back to when Shula was on the sidelines. We'd seen enough of him to know when he was uncomfortable--the proverbial "deer in the headlights" look.

However, how much have we seen Mac? Enough to know his facial expressions? Come on, now. I'm sure he was uncomfortable--the game was confusing for everyone at that point. Hell, even the Bama staff was a little confused on what Tua could or couldn't do.

Seriously, how long have you been married? Do you still see looks on your wife's face and wonder, "what the hell is she thinking?" Yet, you can do that with Mac--someone you don't know? Honestly, to me that descriptor falls in the same category as those who were saying, "the receivers eyes lit up when Saban put Tua in." And they saw that from the stands? From their living room couch? (The wife may be a bad analogy, but I think it gets the point across.)

Hyperbole. At it's finest.

I don't blame him for it, it was a huge situation for a kid that has never been anything remotely similar. It is what it is.

As far as the wife goes, I'm pretty confident I know what she's thinking 99% of the time. She's the one always wondering "what the hell was he thinking?" :rolf:

I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, you're 100% wrong here. No man is capable of such

@TerryP, He left out the decimal point. 9.9% of the time.
