Bama Players Transferring (catch all thread)

[81usaf92]

My memory is not it once was but for the most part, that seems to have been true. Either they didn’t pan out or they would not have been able to get on the field at Alabama like Brooks, Holden, and others. There have been a few who would have made meaningful contributions like Bond (even though he hasn’t done much for UTx, he would have been in Ala’s 3 man starting rotation), Amos and Downs. But compared to the many who have left not that many have really hurt. Even the many secondary losses this year did not seem to hurt much because of coaching and good/great replacements from the portal (e.g., Jackson, Saab, Jones) or recruiting (e.g., Brown, Mincey).

I.e., this staff seems to do a very good of evaluation and coaching/development. There are still some questions about HC and staff such as performance consistency, in game adjustments, etc., but they’ve shown to be capable in important areas.

Brooks was a case where he found himself in the doghouse

There are currently no good available OTs in the portal. Ball State backup that we have picked was a top 3 player left.

That might change as other teams finish the playoffs.

They both suck. 🫶

Pritchett may have protaled out in the spring anyway. Formby had looked better down the back stretch of the season and may have ended the speing ahwad of him. And we will likley add another tackle from the portal.

That is kinda sad because Formby did not look good, either.

Not early but thought formby looked better than pritchett in the auburn game and bowl game. But crossing my fingers we find a starter in the portal. Otherwise it's formby or Lloyd maybe?

Yea I agree it's sparse but we will see.

Formby came on towards the end of the year, but he is a substitute at best.

There was one game early in the year when he was getting scorched (USF or Wisconsin), but he really did seem to improve a lot when he saw time later in the season. He probably made the most of his opportunities of any reserve offensive linemen.

It is possible, but there are only 4 teams left in the playoffs

Seems like there are some changes in direction of the team after last year. Stay tuned!

I’m on YouTube TV. Can I tune in there or are you on the premium “plus” services?

This is something that simply wouldn’t happen a few years ago. He’ll make better money at Bama AND get to rehab, while helping the team. Win-win.

Win-win-win for fans of The Office

Just a brutal number when you actually see it. Meaning the 31 pressures.

Sounds about right.

I'm just going to be patient and not stress over this.

Thank god...

Thank god...

If nothing else, it forces the coaching staff to work on the position group.
