Play the guys. It wasn't too long ago that Saban turned to a group of freshman to help change the course of the national title game because the offense was stagnant. Well, we have been plagued with drops and inconsistent effort at the wide receiver position this year. A little more competition might improve that.

Hate he did anything on social media, as it speaks to immaturity, but can't blame him for those feelings with the production we're getting from everyone outside of Jameson Williams. Coach needs to look back when he played Jeudy, Ruggs, and DeVonta in the Natty and the spark it brought. You gotta get hungry guys on the field that have something to prove. At this point you scrap a depth chart and play the guys that are the best athletes at their position.

Walk into the coach's office like a man with your issues, don't air them out in public. When you start giving kids what they want when they complain on Twitter, you start getting more complaining on Twitter to get what they want.
Don't know what the tweet said, but he's not suspended*.
*Being in the doghouse doesn't = suspended. Not a big deal though.

Playing devil's advocate. We don't know what is going on "off the field". Saban is all about doing everything right, on and off the field.
He very much is a father figure to these guys and has to exercise tough love from time to time. It is what is best for the person, not just the football player. For some guys, that light bulb never turns on.
Saban used the analogy a couple years ago (when he was giving a player a second chance) of a guy that was on his team at Michigan St. The player screwed up and everyone told him to kick the guy off the team. Saban disciplined him and allowed him to work his way back on the team, the guy went on to graduate and become a financial advisor....or something to that effect. Said the guys daughter was graduating high school and was about to go to Princeton or Harvard (one of the Ivy League schools). He ask the media, where would that girl be today, had I not given her dad a second chance? We want what is best for the product we see on the field. Saban wants was best for the individual, on and off the field.
