Consider. Dallas vs Atlanta yesterday with three of the starting wide receivers...Alabama.

[TerryP]

Wondering if they ever mention that while recruiting...

 

[OldPlayer]

How often do those two teams play? I think just mentioning the number of WRs playing in the NFL is enough (don't forget to include Cam Sims on IR with the Redskins and Robert Foster with the Bills)

Robert Foster may have been the most under utilized WR ever. I knew he had NFL talent.

Ridely shet the bed by not catching that pass that turned into a huge pick for Big D. Cooper and Julio did their thing.

You guys see the post I did with Julio tackling the guy about to interference pass? He did it with his arm, and he knot him out of the game.

Under urilized is not the correct description of his time here. He didn't give the effort and cpuld have been much more.

These were the stories I heard as well. Tough transition from Pennsylvania ball and just kind of coasted through his time at Alabama. His potential was off the charts and he made some great plays against Georgia for us.

It looked like he was not ready for that pass, he saw it out of the corner of his eye, tried to make the catch but was too late to set his hands correctly.

Yeah it was pretty cool, though but Julio was the only one that did anything and Ridley pretty much cost Atlanta the game (though its hard to give him too much shit when the defense is that bad). Coop was barely visible.

I mean hes doing in the NFL exactly what he did at Alabama. Have a crazy good game and then be completely invisible for weeks before and after that.

Call it whatever you want his talents were not utilitized.

He under-performed.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Bama had Ridley,Foster, and the same receivers this year minus Waddle and__________ fill in the blanks. Dead horse just ahead.

 

[EasyTider]

Until this year, every Bama receiver not named Julio, Cooper or Ridley was under-utilized.

You really think thats fair?

Okay, let's go with this then. "He did not utilize his talents." He didn't do the work under Kiffin and that led to little game time and few targets. He was given a "fresh, new slate" under Daboll. Heck, people here were pointing to "maybe he'll get it this season." And again...

He ended up costing himself money when it comes to the league and his reputation when we look back on receivers in Bama history.

Until this year, every Bama receiver not named Julio, Cooper or Ridley was under-utilized.

That's interesting.

Who did you have mind?
