🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs The Citadel

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Good - Passing game & general pass blocking. Huge play by the D to get the scoop & score... Hard to say it but we actually needed a big play against Citdatel. (Credit to them and their coaches... They played their asses off!)

Bad - Run blocking. I know we broke a few long ones but we basically had to go away from it early because it was a no-go.

Glad someone mentioned it earlier... Sure looked like Savion Smith quit playing on one of those option TD's. The other he gave up outside leverage. Should also note that teams have popped off some big run plays running to Jennings' side after not setting the edge. Maybe I'm nit picking?

Ugly - Kicking. Oh. My. Goodness. How can it possibly get any worse than this....

It would not surprise me that neither the PK or the scholly punter will not be at Bama come 2019. Hell when the PK actually makes an XP they just get inside the upright.

Can't forget the ugly of having guys going down in that 4th quarter... So hard to justify.

Also - It appears Waddle has beaten our D. Smith. I don't know if he's actually "starting" over him, but it sure seems like he is being targeted more both in the passing and now jet sweep game. On any other team in the country Waddle would be a phenom... Such a weapon.

It's official: Jeff Banks sux big time.

Hold on a freakin' minute!!! This is all Bobby Williams fault!

Oh! Wait ...

If by beaten, you mean Waddle's hamstring is better than Devonta's hamstring, yeah...he's been beaten.

On one of the long pass plays ( I think Irv Smith's) Devonta is running behind the receiver and he still appears to be have some tightness as he runs. He is just not as loose and fluid as he was. I think he is healed enough to play but not to healed enough to be the play maker he has been. I am sure he is getting closer every day.

Guys. This is good and bad....at same time...
You all covered most..butttttt
The Bama crowd.....was great....practice probably...80M.....

Through early in 4th....and responsive.....

. He is just not as loose and fluid as he was.

Last Wednesday he was moving better than he has been since returning to practice after the Missouri injury. He's still got a little ways to go to be what we'd call "in game shape."

By beaten out I mean they prioritize running plays to Waddle before they do D Smith... Quite a few of them

Didn't he pull the hammy against Mizzou? High ankle sprains and hammies are a temperamental lot.

Of course. Smith isn't back to full health. Waddle is healthy.

If and when (if ever) Waddle fully has the mental aspect of the offense down he is going to be a Playa. He is a great athlete for sure.
