Coker played his ass off tonight and he made some good plays to keep us in the game. But he also made some piss-poor pitiful plays too that helped seal our fate. Coker is probably the best we've got if you leave out Barnett. And that's a sad commentary on our QB situation. Coker is not very good. He's serviceable, and that is about all. He's going to have at least one of those INT's a game where he locks in on the primary receiver when he breaks the huddle and never looks off. He also looked confused at times, and he ALWAYS took too much time getting us lined up and getting the play off. You could see Kiffin getting pissed at him because he wanted to go up tempo and Coker just keeps farting around, taking his time. Even in the 4th quarter when we needed to run as many plays as possible, Coker just kept dicking around. Bateman at least ran the offense smoothly. He's a liability because they take anything downfield out of the playbook with him in, but watch his possessions. The offense just operates more smoothly and with better tempo.
We've got some big issues on this team that the staff is trying to disguise: the OL is average. Kelly is the same sorry ass blocker he has been; he makes the right calls and is good in double teams, but one on one he whiffs on more blocks than you can count. Jackson is just shitty at pass blocking. Alphonse Taylor didn't look too good tonight either. Nkemdiche made Taylor and Kelly his bitches tonight. The running game is King Henry and not much else. Drake spells him and is good at what he does, but he doesn't complement Henry well. We've always had at least two backs under Saban that we could ride between the tackles. Not this year. I love the Drake and what he can do, but he's not what we need behind Henry. Bo Scar can't return soon enough. Speaking of the Drake, where are all these plays designed to make him the next Reggie Bush? I haven't seen them yet. Kiffin saving them for La Monroe? The DB's are very talented and play much better. And they still don't look for the damn ball. I'm going to say it. The only constant we've had with the DB's and them not finding the ball is Saban. I think it's time he left the coaching to others because if that's his coaching of the DB's for them not to get their heads around and look for the ball, he's lost it. We have no depth at LB. Dillon Lee should not be playing regularly if that were not the case. Kirby's defense is stale and predictable and not working. Yes, they were put in bad situations time after time tonight. That's part of the job on a night like tonight. Bottom line is, Ole Miss scorched your defense for 43 points. When was the last time we played a good offensive team that didn't torch us? Gus did it, so did Urban. Kirby's been figured out. Maybe it's time for a change. You think maybe being able to kick a field goal instead of going for it on 4th down every time we cross the fifty might have made a difference tonight? This team is pretty good in a lot of areas, but pretty bad in some too. We are going to lose at least once more this year so get ready. We don't have a QB that can bail us out if the other team's front 7 can contain #2. This week is going to suck. Good night.
