I couldn't agree more with than article, Lee got bashed by a lot of folks last season but I think he is going to be a stud in the next two years

Alabama Football: True freshman Shane Lee grew up on the fly

Freshman All-American inside linebacker Shane Lee had to do a lot of growing up on the fly for Alabama football in 2019 and he did it well.

Damn fucking right he is. A lot of crap talkers still to this day about a guy that started as a true freshman and stepped up when two starters went down and not one damn upperclassman stepped up to fill the role. Freshman All-America. My money is on him that he'll grow and become an even better player.

Having him, with a full year of starting experience, along with Moses and McMillon back will make the LB position very strong in 2020.

Kid had to play due to the poor recruiting by the staff two/three years ago...along with the injuries. I am neutral on the kids ability to become a solid player. What Nick has told us is the play/coaching of the DL wasn't it and perhaps that didn't help the young guys at ILB at all.

We'll see.

My $ is on him not starting next season....

I don't know if this is a possibility or not, but what about moving Lee to Jack? I thought he did really well in the blitz, and he has good size for a jack. I know he doesn't have the height, but he has the bulk.

Have to see how healthy ream is and stays...for sure....he is ready and able to be better....

 

[rueben]

Not only did he start as a true freshman, but he had to do it with NO on the field mentor. Not one other person there to show him how to play the position. I don't think ppl realize how big of a deficit, that is.

Bama really shit the bed on ILB recruiting since Pruitt left town with both him and Kirby signing some folks we normally would have signed. If no changes on the staff are made by Friday then I assume Nick had no problem with the coach that was supposed to be teaching these ILBer how to play.

You're wrong once again. But we've already discussed this so no need to carry on and waste data on it.

Or ST coaching....but what ever Nick wants....he is the best and knows more than the rest of us combined...

 

[alabama mike]

It is true Lee played as a true freshman. It is true that he did not have a mentor on the field with the ILB corps. It is true that he played a lot of downs and has a year of experience under his belt. It is probably true that he has improved in the weight room and film study after his first year. What is not true YET is that he has improved on the field. We will have to wait until he is in actual, game action to see how far he has come.

Yeah just a few weeks ago he was claiming Tua would be drafted at #14 or later.

Alabama's special teams coaching involves more than just Banks. How many of them do you want gone? .

I have no say...but if I did......one .....would have hit the road earlier....

HIs post is a great example for you wanting one coach fired.

How many coaches handle these responsibilities? Believe you me, it is not his (Banks) responsibility to point to 11 guys and say "you up for the punt team now." That's settled long before the kick off. If they miss their assignment it's on them. Lack of execution and concentration on what was happening at the time.

@EasyTider has pointed to eight different areas in special teams in his post.

I realize you want to blame Banks for the Auburn play. It's off base and I thought @BamaBoyJosh did a good job of explaining that to you the other day. He was spot on.

How is it not his job to make sure there are 11? It's his team, just like an offensive coordinator getting his personnel together. They make substitutions, not Saban.

Position coaches have many more responsibilities other than the position they coach on either side of the ball. At one my first school, I coached QBs and all LBs and then handled the kickers/punters. At my last school, I was responsible for QBs and kickers and return guys at the second level, FBs and TEs. Our DL coach was responsible for the kick return game but our OL coach handled the substitutions on the front line, while the WR coach handled deep returners. I know it wasn't UA but those guys wear many hats as well. Someone just gets the title added to their name. My title was passing game coordinator, even though our HC called ALL of the plays.
