As far as Robby Green goes, would our team be better off if he was playing? I think that is the point trying to be made. Who knows what would have hapened in the Iron Bowl. Mark misjudged the ball. Plain and simple. Hurt or not, he thinks he should have made the play. Hopefully, we can "struggle" to another top rated defense this year. Defense wins championships, in most cases. That is unless you have a $200,000 quarterback.
🏈 Robby Green?

I'm talking about one play, not quoting what I saw Coach Saban say in reference to the overall performance. Of course they were mental mistakes! I didn't think they were coached or instructed to screw up. As far as Green goes, I could care less if he plays, sits or is booted. Whatever is best for the team is the direction we need to go.
You really don't get it, do you? There is no guarantee that Robby Green wouldn't have misjudged the ball as did Mark Barron. There is no guarantee that Green would've been on the field at all. Saban and Smart obviously thought Barron was OK to go. His torn pec didn't force him to misjudge the pass. He made a mental error and couldn't make the play--period. Blame his injury if it makes you sleep better at night, Barron just made a bad play. Green may well have made the play--he may have also blown coverage and still given up the score.
Going to make any other sarcastic responses or are you ready to admit you've completely missed the point? This discussion is bordering on ridiculous at this point.
No, they're saying both. If you people actually think that Will Lowery got any playing time last year other than because Robby Green was suspended, then you have lost...your...damn...minds. Was Barron tough enough to continue playing? Apparently. Was he still better than Robby Green in his injured condition. Obviously not to those with common sense.
I have actually spoken to 7 or 8 players since the Iron Bowl. One of them is a certain DB that is being discussed in this very thread. For some strange reason he seems to think that Robby would have been in the game had he not been suspended. The next time I talk to a player I'll be sure to tell them that they are extremely ignorant to the inner workings of the team relative to some Aubarn fan on the internet & the all-mighty Terry Pellman. In fact, why bother talking to them at all? Everyone here knows everything & is never wrong. I'll just sit in front of my TV all day on the internet! :lance:
"Bama managed to struggle to the one of the top 5 defenses in the country without his "immense talent" on the field." - Duder
*sigh* See, this is what your feeble brain can't seem to grasp. I didn't bring up RG's talent. YOU did. I never said RG had "immense talent". I said he had the ability to raise both of his arms above his head, unlike MB. However, according to this & what's below, your reading comprehension skills are lacking.
"There is no guarantee that Robby Green wouldn't have misjudged the ball* as did Mark Barron." - Duder TODAY
"Give me one example of how you think Green wouldn't have made the same mental mistake* and I'll leave this thread alone." Terry TODAY
"Of course Green could have also completely missed the free INT $cam threw up for the TD...but it isn't very likely." - ME ***YESTERDAY***
(Yesterday comes BEFORE today for those who are unaware)
*An injury is not a mental mistake. When the play happened & for 36-48 after the play, I too foolishly thought that MB had simply made a horrible play on the ball. However, after later finding out the truth, I decided to stop thinking that since...you know...it isn't correct. Want to give it a try? Actually getting something right can be somewhat rewarding, promise!
I agree with all this stuff about Green but how the hell did Barron "misjudge" the ball? dude he was RIGHT THERE, he simply couldnt lift his arm to swat it down or pick it off.
You're absolutely right, he was right there, but on the wrong side of T-Zac. Barron had crossed over in front of him and was on his left side, T-Zac turned back to his right shoulder to make the catch. I'm sure Barron would have done a better job without being hurt but he had overrun the play. I think he definitely would have made the tackle with two good arms but he was on the wrong side of the receiver.
You don't see how it is a comparison of talent? Again, all my original post said was Lester and Barron would be the starters regardless of Green's suspension. You bring up the Iron Bowl, which still doesn't speak to the fact that Green is not TALENTED enough to knock Barron or Lester out of their starting roles. Talent is what determines PT. When we are talking about who would get more PT, talent comes into the picture. While it is fun to hide behind sarcasm, you've still yet to make a point. At this point I'm done responding to you. You're certainly welcome to your flawed opinion. Bama was fine last year without Green and will be again. His two healthy arms (since we aren't talking about talent) won't be missed that much if he doesn't come back.
We lost the Auburn game last year because my friend form Dallas did not come over and watch it with me , period.
Well that's gotta be it then... I mean, I wore my lucky shirt and had the same shaker I've used for years and neither of those things had ever seen Alabama lose a game in regulation before...
Please tell me you didn't believe he was serious...
Agreed. Superstitions are powerful
I prefer traditions instead of superstitions to describe my fanaticism.
I buy a brand new hat the week before spring camp. I'll add one more before the season and those two will last the season. Looking back in my closet I can see hats from as far back as '96. In sad shape, yes. But, those are the hats I'll wear working in the lawn this year.
Add to that...they are all either the Block A or the Script A...the rest of those other designs should be donated.
