| FTBL Thoughts on the game

[JoshB]

Did the production of the team meet the standard of "It was MTSU?"

This reminds me of a game where Roach had eight or nine solo tackles and Josh said, "it's only _____" (I think the game may have been Southern Miss.) There are still accurate "take-away's."

While I'm a HUGE fan of caveats don't try to "undersell" how they looked yesterday.

That was Moses, no?

Milroe shut some people up yesterday

WRs looked good

RBs looked good

Both OL and DL looked good

Secondary looked good

LBs looked good

It was game one, next week things will be back to normal with people bitching about Bama and thinking the season is done even if we win

I wonder.. did we go vanilla yesterday?.. are we hiding some more explosive play for Texass?.. Maybe they only played hard as they had too..

Yes we did. They ran same play that they ran in scirmmage. I mean it's MTSU.... Why would we open up playbook against them?

Yeah, I didn’t watch the game.. I listen to it… and some guy was telling me at work that they seem to be running basic plays.. so that’s what I figured… its the art of war..

With our stable of running backs we need a wishbone or veer set too..or Notre Dame box..

Why didn't you watch the game? You've had issues of being able to listen the last few months.....

Unfortunately it was MTSU, not much of a measuring stick. I would have liked to have had a tougher opening game opponent.

Let me call Saban and get back to you on that

And still play Texas in week 2?

I'm not sure why you commented, because it's clearly you didn't watch the game yesterday.

Look, I'm all about Alabama making others look not so good, but Bond's hit is what is wrong with these new rules in football. You got a defensive player not protecting himself because Bond stepped out of bounds, but still proceeded to run over a defender. A defender makes that hit and sends the offensive player flying and 100% of the time there will be a flag. Like I said, love Bond, he's my #1 receiver, but hate this happened as a sign of where football fails me and defensive minded folks like me, and those players.

Agree 100%

It's not that deep....

Nothing football wise "is that deep", it's just my point that defenses are handicapped anymore.

Explain

Explain

I just did in the earlier post. You not read how the offense gets the benefit of the doubt with most calls? Pass interference, targeting, late hits etc. Do I need to go on?

Yes, this is a fact I agree with.

 

[24and7]

Its time to disqualify players for facemask and chop/cut blocking for only one quarter … no one should be kicked out of entire game, unless it is intentional on multiple offenses..Most targeting is accidental… the whole game shit needs to be changed..

As far as facemask the helmets should be redesigned to impossible to grab.

"It was only mtsu "is not underselling.
It's stating a fact

I saw tremendous improvements. Organization. Preparation. And i have stated all that. But ... it was vs mysu. Totally overmatched. But tested secondary. And secondary responded

Wasn't underselling. Just not over hyping
