🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs. Missouri

[alabama mike]

Good- worked on our field goal kicking.

Bad- stalled drives in the red zone but turned out ok because the field goals made the good group.

Ugly- punt (COUGH!)

[sean]

good: the win

bad: injuries

ugly: dirty play from missouri and running game at times (4th and a yard, or less, and we can't get that?!!!)

 

[Hardkore]

Good~ Jalens throwing on target

bad~ that punt, redzone/endzone drives

ugly~ too many flags, Raekwon

 

[mando]

Good - The D improved. Still have work to do but much better than last week.

Bad - Tua is not 100% . He was around 50% completion percentage. The knee, knee brace or both are effecting him.

Ugly - punting. 13 yard punt, really? This is going to create problems down the road.

Maybe I missed it but what was dirty about Mizzou? Let's point out that only one player threw punches and he was wearing crimson...

GOOD:
Offense was good for the most part. Jalen was excellent when his number was called. I think the play that really tells the tale on his progression was the ball to Ruggs on the scoring drive. Saw the defense shift and immediately checked off to a different play (or hot route) and made a beautiful pass to Ruggs.
They continue to sprinkle more plays with Tua and Jalen on the field at the same time and they continue to work. This is going to be very fun to watch if Tua can stay healthy. I'm honestly not sure if he should even play against Tennessee. I get they are coming off of a big win at Auburn but that knee looks like it could become a huge problem.
Defense made a statement tonight, especially Savion Smith. We had some folks on here even questioning his "attitude" but he balled the hell out tonight. Quinnen Williams was a monster, too. Big game for Mack, too.
Running game looked good (especially for a team that has a "nonexistent running game" if you let some tell it), especially pounded out tough yardage even when Missouri knew that's what we were trying to do.

BAD:
Davis losing his composure and throwing punches. He should have been ejected and a little disappointing Saban put him back in.
Play-calling when Jalen first came in was far from what we've seen this year. After hearing Saban's comments after the game it honestly sounds like he told Locks to just milk the clock, but man it was painful to see them just trying to pound it with nine in the box over and over. Got better as they loosened the reigns a little bit, though.

UGLY:
Red-zone offense was simply not good. It comes down to execution and there was a big lack of execution inside the 20 tonight.
Skyler DeLong is absolutely atrocious at this point. Bulovas had a good night. Dont blame him for the 51-yarder at all. That was a bit much. Should have just gone for it there.
The injuries were really ugly to see. Over the last few years we'.ve really dodged the injury bug on offense (for the most part) but it bit hard tonight. I'm extremely worried about Tua. Saban is trying to keep the panic down it seems but he looked to be clearly not right even before he came off the field. There were a few throws late in the second and early in the third that it just seemed like it was difficult for him to plant his foot and drive the ball. I love his guts but we don't need him really messing that knee up. That does nothing for him or the team. Smith sounds like a hamstring pull (doubt we see him next week) and Ruggs sprained his ankle (came back in and I would be surprised if he didn't play next week).

Ruggs injury

I stand corrected on that one. He clearly, purposely, twisted Ruggs' knee/ankle.

I think that might have figured in to Davis and his punches. Still stupid of him and I hope Saban gives him all kinds of hell about it, once he sees what happened. Note, they do not have TV sets on the sidelines, so he likely did not know RD threw punches.

And they're going to show that? It's not a live TV stream in the stadium.

^This and also, coaches have a lot more to worry about than watching the jumbotrons constantly.

#47 was trying to detach Henry's foot from his leg. I thought Bama just got caught up in too much retaliation for the chippy play.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Good.....Winning...#8,#22,and #34 ran the ball really well and they ran tuff.....salute to #22 since that might have been his best collection of hitting the hole time and time again instead of dancing...#97 did a good job on kickoffs,FG,and Xp with the exception on 1 FG. #2 did what he does as a QB and that was solid. The entire defense played with a Cause last night and that is great to see because LSU is going to be the Test for this season. UGA is good but they don't measure up to the Men that LSU sends out each week.

Bad....Punter..I mean C'Mon Man. How in the hell Nick Saban signed this guy is beyond me. No way in hell can he kick a ball 50 yards in the air.

Ugly.....Injuries might be the reason this team doesn't reach their goal. #99 really shet the bed with his George Foreman routine. Many people formed (non Bama folks that watched) a opinion of him last night that he will not shake. He issued an apology last night and that was good. I expect the SEC might take the 1st half away from him Vs 10RC. We'll see.

RaeKwon's tweet...I would like to apologize to Kevin Pendleton, the Missouri Tigers, their fans, Alabama Fans, and my teammates and coaches for my actions during tonight’s game. I allowed my emotions to get the best of me and that’s unacceptable. Again I’m sorry and it will never happen again.

Yes, they show the replays on there. Don't pretend like you've never been to a game Terry.

They show replays, yes. They show replays of the actual ply, not what happens in a pile or away from the ball. Even with the replays they show, do you really think the head coach watches every replay?
