🏈 🙄 Agiye Hall: “One thing that really stood out is the culture. Bama fans — they’re not really loving, if I could say — even when you leave.

Texas game this season looking more interesting...

 

[Justneedme81]

still a long way to go before there’s a answer to this question. Summer workouts, incoming freshman, Fall camp, additional transfers (in and out), academics and injuries are part of the algorithm.

I think you're missing my point a little bit.
Kelian Robinson transferred to Texas because he thought he would see playing time with Texas and he's still buried in the depth chart.
Ben Davis didn't see much playing time.
Billingsley- I'm not sure if he will see playing time, but likely will. Hall... I'm not so sure.

I completely forgot about Robinson and Davis. I thought Davis started the season well last year.

Funny thing about Robinson is how much playing time he would have received at Alabama last year, yet he transfers to a school with arguably the best running back in the country.

He did?
9/8- 2 tackles,
9/25-1 tackles
10/9 2 tackles
10/30 1 tackles
11/6 2 tackles
11/3 1 tackles
11/20 7 tackles

Kelian Robinson- IMO, he should've saw more playing time under offense. the more carries he get, the more explosive he is. Put him with the other Robinson, and the offense will flow better.. but what do I know.

I was thinking that also. IMO it's either going to go really good or really bad this year for Sark. If nothing else, the talent makes them dangerous. High ceiling/low floor situation over there!

Texas game this season looking more interesting...

I know it's little early to discuss the game yet, but I want to point out few things...
This past spring, folks been talking about Hudson Card or Quinn Ewers this spring and how Ewers is likely to win the game. My thing is Ewers facing Alabama and how Alabama is known for their complexities of the defense?

Positive notes from Texas' spring practice on Saturday

The Longhorns are grinding this offseason with the mindset that they need to take that next step on the field come fall when the season begins. After an embarrassing 5-7 record in his first season as the head coach of Texas, Steve Sarkisian has his back against the wall…

Many thought with the addition of Alabama transfer Jahleel Billingsley that any chance of Sanders or even Gunnar Helm getting significant reps would cease, but from what is being reported Sanders is proving himself much more equipped to play this season.

 

[Justneedme81]

With all the talents on the roster, and they have ability to win the games, doesn't mean anything if they aren't on same page as far as player development, their mindset, their maturity and leadership to keep the team together on 1 page. With the mess going on in Texas... I don't see that happening.

 

[Justneedme81]

Oh here's a gem:



Lack of OL Depth, that they can't have regular spring game? With all transfers he has been getting, he didn't get any for OL?

It didn't stop Stetson Bennett from chewing us up. My concern is still the deep ball. If we can contain Worthy, I'll feel good about smoking Texas.

Going back to a comment earlier pointing out they have skill position players, but they don't have an offensive line: even when they're healthy. Their DL is a little better but it's far from a strength.

This is what a lot of people aren't seeing. Their O Line appears to be just serviceable when healthy. Not a lot going to come from any skill position is the opposing D is in the backfield quickly most of the time.

Same could be said about our offensive line as well. We were missing one piece last year and I personally feel it costed us a National Championship. Even without Metchie and Williams, if Bryce wasn't running for his life he eats up Georgia's secondary. This year, without Evan Neal, we are looking for guys to step up. I hope a couple of them do.

Stetson Bennett.. I don't get the analogy here?
He didn't crave us up when he was a freshmen or sophomore?
In 2020, in a game against Bama, he went 18/40 for 269 with 2 TD and 3 interception.
2021: in SEC Championship he went 29/48 for 340 with 3 TD/2 Interception
then in playoff , he went 17/26 for 224 with 2 TD and no interception.

Where in that part did he craved up the defense?

You missed the point here: I was saying as a freshmen, Ewers is gonna have some issue processing Bama's defense... Bennett is a senior. Ewer is a freshmen. Huge difference .

Actually, It wasn't really on OL.. they did okay job. It was WRs that had several key drops. Catch the ball and we win the game easily. Latu, Hall, Brooks.

And when facing one of the best defenses in the nation? Whew!

My concern is still the deep ball. If we can contain Worthy, I'll feel good about smoking Texas.

How when their OL isn't good enough to hold Braswell, Andreson and Turner at same time? Won't have time to have to let play develop long enough for deep plays.

 

[Justneedme81]

Agreed. It is talented team, but damn, Sark should've fixed holes on OL and he didn't. On any good year, This team could win 8, 9 games... but this fall... I think it'll be 7 wins.

Forgot!!!!!!!!!

hey don't have an offensive line: even when they're healthy.

No. The same can't be said. It's a highlight. The offensive line for the fall hasn't practiced together, ya know? As the Vegas saying runs ..."don't know shit."

Good reports though.

He beat us, plain and simple. Don't let the Natty stats fool you like they have. Hestill gave Georgia a chance late in tge SEC Championship and led at Halftime two years ago in Athens. I'm simply making tge point the #1QB in his class with a stronger arm, better physical traits has just asmuch of a chance to see success against us if a guy like Stetson did. With Bennett is was a bad decision, not an overall crappy performance.

Bryce Young was running for his life all game long because the line wasn't blocking. Sure the receivers had some drops, but Bryce was on the run all night long and it kept him from being a duel threat.
