This is by no stretch the type of Bama team we have grown accustomed to watching in the CNS era. Mental mistakes, blown assignments, 3rd and long with no spy, poor OL play, DL hitting wrong gaps, LB's getting lost in coverage, bad decisions by the QB, horrific play calling, receiver's not getting separation and missed coverages in the secondary to name a few. I’m not going to lie, it’s not easy to watch and I get so frustrated. Nobody on this team is trying to screw up on purpose, I know that but to repeat the SAME mistakes, week after week is painful. Tonight we finally saw the ole CNS on the sidelines. Hopefully we will see more of it. Happy for the win but man we need improve in so many areas.
How would you grade the following areas of the Crimson Tide football team up to this point?
OL -D+
TE -B
QB -D+
RB -A-
WR -C-
Punt Return -D
P -A
DL-C
LB -C+
DB -B+
Kick off and Kick Return Team -B
Are you grading on curve? Are you taking few things into consideration when giving them a grade?
OL- They are improving each week. they played well in 2nd half against Ole Miss and then played much better in Miss State. I would bump D+ to C +. only because of Seth's issue with snapping.
TE- B? Their blocking has been spotty at best. They have been whiffing on blocks. Bump it down to C-
QB- D+ How can you give Milroe D+ Have you seen his passing rating?
2023 Player Statistics and You have to admit he is making progress each week and is getting better. He hasn't regressed yet. The Ole Miss and Miss State are good enough to let me know that he should be able to handle TAMU. Bump D+ to C+ with potential of B if he keep putting in the work. He's reading the fields and He's making less mistakes. he's being decisive with his running, That's all we can ask out of him...
RB- A-?????!? Their blocking has been spotty with TE. Bump it down to B-
WR C- How are they supposed to do their job if they can't get the ball thrown their way? I would give them a bump up to B- knowing the circumstance. We've had WRs stepping up in last three games. They're little inconsistent in their route running but they're getting better.
Punt Return- D - Sir.... McKinstey muffed the punt one time. He had several big returns that was called back due to dumb flags. No Sir. Bump it up to B-
Punter- A. No issues.
DL- C. no issues. In fact, I would bump it down to D. this is due to coaching issues.
LB- C- Sir, they are playing their minds out. They're aggressive, getting to the ball carriers, QB, etc. They're making more positive plays than negative plays. We had some inexperienced LB on the field this past weekend, and they missed some plays and that was to be expected. Future is bright for LB. I would bump it up to LB- B
DB- B+ Sir, Arnold, Kool Aid... hard to throw at them. Moore is playing his mind out. Downs is having good year. A-
Kickoff team- They allowed big returns in last two games. Sir. no.
I"m convinced you haven't been watching the games.. You probably just was going by what you read on the board and assume that's what it was going on. I don't think your grades are actually fair or accurate at all.
This team has really grown in the last three weeks. They are not the same team we saw against USF. They are starting to figure out things slowly together as the team. OL is starting to gel better each week.
