🏈 Clemson's Shaq Lawson still won't accept they lost, were beaten. Colt, you've got company.

I'm sure Venables had to scrap that defense where Lawson covered the TE man to man. Take your damn loss and go on please!!

Rammer Jammer playing...Hey Lawson, hey Lawson....

 

[im4uainva]

Is he a Senior? If not, perhaps he'll be able to rectify that this year. Otherwise, it is what it is, Roll National Champions Crimson Tide, ROLL!

Statistically he had a better game than his average. Perhaps he remembers those other games differently... And as @uagrad93 mentioned, he wouldn't have been much help against OJ, special teams, or the Eddie Jackson INT.

I'd argue that Clemson losing #2 early in the game had more of an impact than Shaq being 100% health at the end of the season...who's 100% at the end of the season. It's my opinion that there was a better shot of both teams being closer to 100% during the BCS days compared to the CFP format.

Love the title of this thread.

We would have won by more points had we not played a loose prevent defense that last series. See, I can do it too.

A junior but has declared for the Draft... so he is finished, will just "talk" about it for the rest of his life

 

[rueben]

Once again this was Finebaum stirring the pot. I listened to the interview. He said nothing out of the box. And has very very complimentary of Bama.

Agreed. Nothing to see here.

Finebaum put the pot back on the stove but it had been stirred plenty—pre and post game. This is the same Lawson making comparisons between middle school bullies and the Tide. In one breath he's saying "good team," in another he was making light of the success this team enjoyed last year. His complimentary comments are nothing more than lip service...which isn't a bad thing as long as it comes from a different gender.

You guys may think Paul is just stirring. Shaq still believes he never lined up offsides. :shock:

Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson thinks Alabama's title game outcome would have been different if he was 100 percent healthy.

"It would have been a lot more different," Lawson told the Paul Finebaum Show. "At 50 percent I was affecting the quarterback a lot but sometimes I felt like if I pushed it too hard something would happen. If I was 100 percent the game outcome would have been a little different. Probably would have gotten a couple sacks when they had the long pass plays or I could have gotten there a (step quicker) when they got the pass for a touchdown."

...

Lawson's argument is the 2016 version of the Colt McCoy what-if from the 2009 national championship game. McCoy was injured on a Marcell Dareus hit when Texas was up 3-0 leading many Longhorns fans to wonder what would have happened if he never got hurt.

Lawson should spend more time learning what offsides means. The injury doesn't have anything to do with that.

Maybe it did. He knew he was going to be a little slower, watned to get a jump. Although he mostly lined up against the olé side of our OL.

 

[PCRammer]

maybe...maybe not. Dude is just trying to talk confidently. NFL GM's and coaches like confident guys. Every time he talks to the media for the next two weeks it is a job interview.

Here you go I think Colt will let you use it !

He was lined up over CRob not Jackson. Dodd should've been charged with assault for how he was treating Jackson.

Well, shit, I remembered it wrong. Getting old sucks.
