Title: So far this year: Post by: hscoach on October 03, 2011, 05:51:53 PM There have been some newcomers/first year starters who have played well. Also, there are some who have stepped up their game this year. Some may have even been a bit of a letdown. Your picks?
I think Upshaw has shown what a force he can be when healthy. Eddie Lacey has been a great backup for Trent Richardson. J Harris seem to be coming into his potential. Just to name a few.

OFF: DeAndrew White, Kenny Bell, Jalston Fowler, Christion Jones DEF:Sunseri (again), John Fulton, Chris Jordan, Jesse Williams, DePreist (again) Title: Re: So far this year: Post by: Jamos on October 03, 2011, 06:44:55 PM What I'm liking most is the depth on both sides of the ball, Bama doesn't miss a beat when a non-starter comes into the game. It's been a long time since they have had that luxury.

Coach Saban said the adjustment we made to stop UF's passing attack in the 1st Q was to change from man coverage to a zone, which improved our pass rush. Now either I misunderstood him, or the zone had unintended consequences. I thought the beauty of the man coverage was it allowed us to blitz more and get to the passer better. I know it's not that simple, but CNS's answer was confusing. HSCoach, did you understand it? Anybody?

Very simple concept if you ask me. :4: Title: Re: So far this year: Post by: hscoach on October 03, 2011, 08:53:08 PM Apologies for asking a lateral question, but something I heard from Coach Saban has me wondering.

I didn't put in my note, and not trying to sound like a know it all, but I thought they played more zone later in the game. They could still bring 5 and be safe.

I do not believe he has played due to injury. Is he and Fulton supposed to be on a disappointment list? Title: Re: So far this year: Post by: hscoach on October 03, 2011, 10:14:19 PM I think Fulton has done some decent work on the special teams. I know he got on CNS list for a while the other night.
