Title: CRS Coach's Corner: Week 12 Post by: Jamos on November 22, 2015, 02:08:47 PM Playing Charleston Southern yesterday wasn't like what next Saturday's game will/should be but who knows, the score might be similar if Bama plays like they did yesterday. I fully understand that Charleston Southern isn't a Division I school but they are playing for an upcoming championship themselves which means they do something about football and should be respected as such. Bama played played with a lot of energy and discipline yesterday which should help them in getting prepared for the championship run which begins next Saturday against Auburn. The game may have seemed little to some but I thought the team came away feeling good about their execution of handling things on both sides of the football. It was a good day of preparation for the team.
The talk of late has been about running back Bo Scarbrough who has been on the mend of a knee injury and when would he ever get to play more than a couple of snaps. I hope everyone was watching because he got some valuable minutes yesterday and showed what he is very capable of doing for the team. If you put a #9 jersey on him you would probably mistake him for Derrick Henry, big, strong and fast. Bo does bring something that Derrick either doesn't have or has never been asked to do, catch passes. There was a time when Bo wanted to be a wide receiver so that might give you an idea of what he might add to the team coming out of the backfield. I have a better feeling now knowing we have two big men in the backfield and let's not forget Harris, he's a diamond in the rough but he will only get better with time. The team, as a whole, looked very crisp and sharp yesterday, something that CNS and coaches have all been waiting see happen. It doesn't always matter as to who the team is playing in terms of having good execution, it's all about the mental aspect of the players which permits them to make good decisions during their performance. There are some folks healing up as well which really helps the team's depth at a few positions, nothing like having more troops to fight the battles. The Iron Bowl is next Saturday and anybody that lives anywhere in the Southern part of the country knows all about this game. It not only affects the football teams and coaches, it affects everybody familiar with the State of Alabama and it's football legacy. Bama has a chance to use the Tigers as a stepping stone this year to #16 and on the other side of the coin, Auburn has a chance to spoil everything for Alabama's championship hopes. There are a couple of bad memories of playing at Shug Jordan and the media and fans across the country don't mind reminding Bama of them, especially the latest one, the Kick Six. What a horrible night that was and I along with a million or more Bama fans are wanting the team to impose some heavy beat down on the Tigers this Saturday. But in all reality, it's not just about the Kick Six, it's all about beating Auburn one more time, paving the way for one more shot at another SEC title and National Championship #16. RTR!!!

Not exactly his promise to dominate that other school in the state, but 6-3 will do it.

Looked like a very good practice game for our date with the barn.
I really hope we are completely focused against the barn. I would like nothing better than a total mudhole stomping of Awbarn. Title: Re: CRS Coach's Corner: Week 12 Post by: N.AL-Tider on November 22, 2015, 06:14:20 PM I'm hoping that the game yesterday was very indicative of how our team will play against the booger eaters next Saturday. There was honestly no reason for our 1's to be in the game after the first 10 minutes of the game but they needed to get the practice I suppose. Regardless, it was good to see and very fun to watch.
On a side note, Jamos, I came by the lot where you normally set up and tailgate but you weren't there, no one was. That was around 12:30 I think. I needed to get to the Will Call office to pick up my ticket and after that I was starving so I went in the stadium and got some chicken tenders and fries...not bad but not good either. Was hoping to see you again but it wasn't to be...

(Sorry but I can't post a link.)
To me the three biggest things about this game were [1] Winning ...[2] The focus the team showed throughout the game... [3] The backups getting some good playing time... and maybe [4] no injuries.

I was hoping to be there again with my daughters, but we had to do Thanksgiving instead, since it was the only time our girls could be together at the same time. If you give him a heads up, he will find a way to meet up with you, FWIW. Hopefully, we can all get together next year for a game. I hope you and your kids had a good time at the game. :wave: Title: Re: CRS Coach's Corner: Week 12 Post by: N.AL-Tider on November 22, 2015, 08:11:36 PM I'm hoping that the game yesterday was very indicative of how our team will play against the booger eaters next Saturday.
