Locked in on those two for sure. Williams probably was like "dude, I got eight on me. Somebody else is open!"In the last two games… Alabama WRs were targeted 30 times. 29 of them were to Benard and Williams.

And yet Shepherd, the WR coach, when questioned about the ridiculous number of targets for Williams versus Tennessee, said “there was nothing wrong with that”….In the last two games… Alabama WRs were targeted 30 times. 29 of them were to Benard and Williams.
Same as Hurts. Hurts locked in on Ridley like his life depended on it!Reminds me a bit of 2021, with Metchie and Williams. Except the reason was that no other receiver could catch the ball.
The coaching staff said many things after losses that have me concerned going into next seasonAnd yet Shepherd, the WR coach, when questioned about the ridiculous number of targets for Williams versus Tennessee, said “there was nothing wrong with that”….
And it carried forward through most of 2022. Imagine having a QB with the accuracy of Bryce Young and nobody can catch the ball. Oh what might have been.Reminds me a bit of 2021, with Metchie and Williams. Except the reason was that no other receiver could catch the ball.
And This is why I'm pretty sure Coach Saban and Coach Deboer will meet in offseason to go over everything, and one of the thing on the table is not letting assistants speak to the press going forward.The coaching staff said many things after losses that have me concerned going into next season
I share your sentiments, but I’m afraid the days of Major Ogilvie playing for the love of Alabama are long gone. It’s pretty much the same everywhere else, too. There’s very little loyalty to anything but the greenback anymore.Let them leave. This version of Alabama was probably the most selfish, stubborn and self-serving version. Maybe we’ll look back on this and see that it was a positive turning point.
This is quite overreaction....I share your sentiments, but I’m afraid the days of Major Ogilvie playing for the love of Alabama are long gone. It’s pretty much the same everywhere else, too. There’s very little loyalty to anything but the greenback anymore.
Interesting. No faith in incoming freshman Asparuhov to give a scholarship to a punter.We've actually just added one.

I kept expecting him to say "this turnip has no more blood. We got major problems!" But that wouldn't have gone over too well.The coaching staff said many things after losses that have me concerned going into next season
He's a redshirt freshman. His 2nd year at Alabama.Which is a pretty insane expectation for a true freshman.

This is huge concern for me. We got some guys on this staff that better wake up and come to the full knowledge that Alabama and SEC football fans aren’t stupid. Some of the arrogant and condescending comments when asked pertinent questions about play calling and decision making this year after games was ridiculous. Snarky remarks and coach speak ain’t gonna play here.The coaching staff said many things after losses that have me concerned going into next season
Sorry, Illinois StThe…the…
The Sycamore’s have a FB team??
I guess you do learn something new everyday…lol
I think every team will suffer the lack of playing for your state school out of pure love, the bigger issue is they have killed the sport going for the money. And when I say they, I mean ESPN, CFP, Sankey (yes, Greg Sankey), SEC/B1G greed, conference realignment and these corporate sponsors.I share your sentiments, but I’m afraid the days of Major Ogilvie playing for the love of Alabama are long gone.

DeBoer better be a great recruiter. Otherwise he will not make it. How much he knows about football is a small percentage of what CNS brought with him to Alabama.This is huge concern for me.

We can gripe all we want about players. But the undisciplined play, situational screw ups and player arrogance was a direct reflection of this staff.
I'm guessing most of us feel the same. A lot of the time, we don't know about any issues until a player jumps in the portal so it can still be a shock and disappointment at that moment.I’m kinda similar now in my attitude to players staying like Wimp Sanderson was about players in his program graduating.
Wimp was once asked “So Coach, how many of your players are graduating?” Wimp replied “Every one of them that WANTS to….”
Same here for me. If you see a greener pasture, and you don’t like your situation here, be gone. I want the guys here that WANT to be here.
Good bye…thank you for playing the game. Hopefully you’ll get some lovely parting gifts on the way out the door.
What kind of team has a name of “orediggers”?We've actually just added one.
