Post by: cbbama99 on August 23, 2014, 10:13:06 AM
How this guy maintains a job with moronic things like this is beyond me:

A few of thoughts this guy didn't take in consideration.  One, a couple of those cornerbacks were young last year and they didn't have a great pass rush to help them out.  Two, I think Bama will have a better pass rush this year.  Three, the QB will not have to be a world beater with the running game.   All he will have to do is keep the defense honest and not let them load the box.

Another factor that rarely gets mentioned is changes in Bama's  coaching staff.  For example, Kirby has returned to coaching DB's where I think he's at his best.

QB situation will have to be decided in games.  Keep your fingers crossed that it works out well.  We have great receivers and must have a QB that can find them and get the ball to them.

Mr. Magoo made some predictions on the outcome of the
Alabama vs. ND game too ...

Well, let's keep in mind that our "worst season in years" would be two regular season losses.

Why do you say this? What are you basing this on? Have you seen something? I am concerned because we lost our best LB, the entire D-line, and our best DB.

last years pass rush wasn't as good as they wanted so this year the
number one thing to focus on is ... http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/082214aac.html

Pat Forde has no idea what Bama has unless he heard people talking. He will never see our team go to the bathroom much less a practice. RTR!

I see he went back to the medical marijuana clinic for seconds.  Just the other day he said the PAC-12 was the best conference.  :eyeroll:

Was Danny Kanell with him? He says ACC is the best conference, hands down.

That's what everyone has been saying....  that Bama has its most talented D-Line ever under Saban.  Even Saban has been praising our D-line, saying it should get after the QB better than past years.

Our two biggest weaknesses last year, and they were major weaknesses, were O-line and CBs.  Lack of pressure by D-line didn't help the CBs out at all.  I think all three units will be significantly better this year.  Whoever steps in at QB has, arguably, the best and deepest set of skill players surrounding him that Bama has ever had.  I think they'll be fine.

I think Robinson, who was pretty good last year, will be better.  Also, I think Allen showed signs of being a pretty good player, should be stronger and in the system for a year.  Pettway returns along with Devall.  I also like the speed of the LB's in the spring game.

I am very excited about Robinson's potential & think he could be a difference maker.

He is like Skip Worthless. He makes all these off the wall predictions, and when the only one out of 100 that he get's right, he says "I told ya" and the media makes him a guru.

I remember them saying Coach Bryant was too old and finished when he had a down year, but he came back to win an NC.

that's it in a nutshell ...
ESPN choked him down (thank God) so in 2011 he bolted for yahoo , which
now is on a downward spiral to the crap reporting waste land
good choice Pattie !

he grew up in Colorado , so that explains SC's weed store theory
went to college at Missouri so it must be killing him they are SEC now
and he lives in Kentucky  ...
which explains his bad case of penis envy that clouds his judgement

Actually, he went on to win 7 SEC titles & 2 National Championships.    ;)

Perhaps he didn't see that AP ranks us 2nd in the nation.

oh he saw alright , but that doesn't fit with his plan to draw attention to
his crappy little failing website . it's like he has taken a page from the
Islamic terrorist hand book , he is attacking almost everyone

And the fact that even Herbstreit, who is not known for his great love for the SEC, at least has us in the final four.
