🏈 Game Week: Alabama vs. UL Monroe (press conferences, news updates, & discussion) ***Update- DL Jeremiah Beamon injured, out for season***

Sounds like they had player only meetings the last few days and called out bunch of players. It was reported Tim Keenan, Ty Simpson and That center guy called out some guys during the game for lack of efforts and etc.

Then you hear the players interviews today and man you could tell there's some entitlement in locker room that hasn't gone away yet. So kudo to players for owning up today but let's see how it goes .

The only thing I really care to see this Saturday is the players playing like it's their last ever game. Obviously, I want Bama to win... but whether it's 31-28 or 56-0, there isn't much that's going to happen to tell us about the true direction of this team until at least the following week, but mostly until the big exam in Athens. But I will at least feel better about things if I see guys flying around, even if they are flying into the wrong gaps. Players chasing warhawks at full speed, even when they are well out of the play. WR's running sharp routes and holding the blocks, even when they know the ball isn't coming to them or the play is run away from them. Basically, I want to see the team show a little pride. They've just been embarrassed on a national stage to a degree that I haven't really seen in recent memory. If that doesn't light some sort of flame beneath their ass, then nothing else will.

Agreed. The last time I remember seeing such little fight in them (not on a national stage) was way back during the reduced scholarship years, maybe Dubose’s first season??, when we played at Arkansas and they ran though our @ss like sh!t through a tin horn. And we could not stop them! 😉

Saban's first team had some loafers and look at me guys but they didn't show up in year 2.

Now you play football for the team who pays you the most without pissing you off because if they hurt your feelings you will take your toys and find a new team to pay you.

I was going to make a post that reminded everyone these sum batches are paid now. Paid extremely well, some making more than coaches and rookie NFL guys. I have zero sympathy for their feelings and calling them out. Coaches included. Patience? Ha, please, not with the money these guys are floated. This is what they wanted, they got it, and now they need to live with the consequences. I don't care how old they are anymore. They better figure it out or the well will run dry.

Facts. Employees are paid to produce, see the NFL.
 
Oh, no doubt. I don't want my coach pitching a fit on the sideline the entire game, but I also don't want my coach kissing everyone's ass and passing out green participation ribbons each week either.

When I see this, I'm left even more questioning everything. I do not feel we were prepared for everything.


If they weren’t surprised by anything, then they weren’t prepared properly or they just ain’t that good.
 
And his level of success is still not the the Bama standard but in all fairness not many even come close.
A playoff team last season. A front runner this season.

That's a standard people are pointing to here, is it not?



Personally, I'm getting as tired of this Bama Standard line as I did/have with comparisons of Oats and Wimp.

It's not the same game. It's not the same people. It's certainly not the same worlds shared between these guys now and those a decade ago.

I talked with Coach Gabe about this off and on over the summer. You know what he said I'm left with?

"Wait 'til you see this next generation."

This looks like a good example of an overreaction. 🤷‍♂️

The sport hasn't changed. If teams in the past show improvements from week one to week two, a paycheck isn't going to change this progression.

Not an overreaction to expect high level performance when you spend high level money.

If I asked you to build the website for my new hitting facility and you cost more than the average quotes I received I fully expect a better than average product.

Everyone shut the hell up, this is a hijack!

Are you actually building a hitting facility?
