** MIDWEEK FOOTBALL CHIT-CHAT **

[Chechem]

Tua was on MARTY & McGEE (SECN).  They discussed the LSU game, especially his 44-yard TD run.

Tua:  "My knee kind of gave out at the end of the run.  You saw me looking around, because I didn't want to get caught."

Tua:  "No more high 5s.  I'm going to shake hands after TDs from now on."

Time to get back to some LOOOOONG passes; Tua long!!   

I hate watching that gif.  The receiver never gets past the 30 yardline and I keep watching to see if he scores...

Just for you, NALT.  I know you've had a tough week, so here's a gift:

Saban gets pissed at media about suggestion that we rest players this week.

Alabama faces an FCS opponent this week in The Citadel. However, Saban insisted he has no plans of taking the Bulldogs lightly. When asked about injuries later in the news conference, Saban got heated, reiterating the importance of respecting every opponent his team faces.

"We're not going to take the approach in any game that we play that we're not going to play players and take guys out and do all this and play someone else and assume that the opponent that we're playing is not capable of being very competitive,” Saban said. “That can be your mindset. That's not mindset, that's not our mindset, that's not going to be the mindset of our players. And I'm not really interested in any of your suggestions about how we should manage our team and what we should do to get better, regardless of what you think, just because we're playing the Citadel.”

Jonah Williams explains our O-line blocking schemes.

HERE YA GO, PREACHER.  SEE WHY IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS BELIEVED.

“There are some schematic things,” Williams continued, “for example, when they ran some cover eights where you have quarters of the field, half of the boundaries, you have a half safety, you have a trap corner playing seven yards off the line, and he was triggering fast on the runs, so when you’re running split inside runs you are short a guy. You want to be able to block him, so you either have a box blocker for him or you throw quick balls over the top."

Tua worked on his footwork yesterday:

This is likely the surgery that Jalen had.  Pretty cool explanation.
If so, the surgeon says he should be back 3-4 weeks from surgery.

Cecil Hurt on Saban's rant:

There is also mass psychology involved. When Saban bristles about questions that involve holding players out of particular games, he isn’t just being a curmudgeon (or an NFL throwback.) He’s trying to maintain a culture that took time to instill. The idea is that every game is important, just as every practice, every bench press, every meeting, every class.

Wednesday practice before The Citadel:

Backup QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) still looks very limited. He was moving gingerly during an early footwork drill and then when quarterbacks were throwing to the wide receivers. Tua Tagovailoa was practicing and looked fine.

It looked like left tackle Jonah Williams was off to the side during at least a portion of drills. It looked like Matt Womack was in at left tackle with the first-team offensive line at that point.....


Looks like the O-line has 2 injuries to tackles, unless Deonte Brown is mysteriously healed by Tua's Mom.

Wednesday night presser with Saban:

On Josh Jacobs running the wildcat:
“As long as Josh Jacobs does what he’s supposed to do, I will like what he’s doing,” Saban explained. “As soon as he messes it up, I won’t like it. So, I’m not really making a commitment one way or the other.”
That drew laughs.
“I like it when it works and I don’t like it when it doesn’t work,” he continued.
