If Gilberry had not shown up today we'd have lost.
I said that in the pregame writeup I felt like if Gilberry showed up and had a big game we'd win handily. Unfortunately Gilberry was the ONLY one that showed up today from our defense. Okay, I'll give Simeon props for the pick, but our secondary is horrific. You know Eric Ainge is licking his chops right now just day dreaming about what he's gonna do to our corners.
Gilberry did have a heck of a game. As for the secondary, personally I think there is only one weak spot. With our policy of not bashing players, I won't name any names. But, there is one guy/position that gets burned on a regular basis. I add position because Saban has tried others in that spot and so far it still was a weak point.
does his name end in Mitchell and start with Lionel?
i sware this guy is like a young Gerald Dixon. (i love Gerald as much as any of u guys but im sorry when he first came to Bama he got burned regularly) he gets burned on the regular yet makes big picks so u cant completely keep him out. Marquis Jackson is horrible so that won't do and Kareem Jackson is a freshman so hes gonna make freshman mistakes. Simeon is the only corner that steps up during the game and QB's rarely throw at him. Rashad is a heck of a Safety too tho and Carter is a big hitter but tries to much to knock someone out rather than wrap them up. the secondary needs work thats for sure.
I'm pretty sure we don't have a Marquis Jackson on the team. Marquis
Johnson is a sophmore who has played limited amount, so he's going to make mistakes too. Lay off these guys if you don't mind, they are playing their hearts out and while I'm sure they aren't searching message boards looking for what people like us are typing about them, it would be nice for us not to call people horrible, horrific, etc.
Marquis Johnson yea u knew what i meant. look there isn't a bigger Bama fan than me and its not like im going around saying that Simeon Castille or DJ Hall or Gilberry, guys who play lights out, are horrible. Johnson has played horribly when he has played (see FSU game) and thats a FACT. i know his a freshman, thats y i wasnt completely throwing him under the bus. and i didnt call him horrific i said his play was horrific.

As far as Mitchell, you have to give the kid props for that last play. He was there! that was excellent coverage and I still think he actually intercepted it.
That's not to say that he's played lights out all year, but i was proud of the way he kept competing and he did a HECK of a job on that last long pass.
yea, but thats exactly what i said man. he plays great and then gets burned, then hell have another great play. consistency is what im talking about. but i do agree with what i've seen u say in another post, that he has great heart and he keeps picking himself up off the dirt time after time.
i just wish he wouldnt have to pick himself off the dirt, SO OFTEN. then again not everyone can be a Simeon Castille i guess.
