100% Rees is the main issue. How do you have an athlete like Milroe and not try to run some kind of triple option / play action offense. Do some boot legs to move to pocket? Nothing being done to adjust to the roster and just trying to fit a square peg through a round hole.

[@deronthomas1566]

You are 100% correct.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

That's actually exactly who Tommy Rees is....he did the same thing at ND hence why ND fans are rather delighted he's gone. The real mystery is how on earth he ended up at Bama

[@deronthomas1566]

He’s 100% in over his head. Ty Simpson’s first collegiate attempt was on 2nd & long inside the red zone after a TFL. He lines up in twins left, runs some play, we get 7. Then goes drop back pass for a sack. 3rd and 8 he then simply flips the first down play, same formation, same personnel, exact same play for an incompletion. I mean same splits, same formation! Now if I can recognize that, you know DC’s are watching as well as the players on the field.

[@JJDSports2012]

I feel you. ND had an all world lineman like Quenton Nelson and future stars like Mike McLinchey but Rees would still insist on third down timing passes on 3rd and 2. I ruined many TVs this way.

[@ericdaniel323]

@@JJDSports2012 agreed, but Nelson and mcglinchy didn’t play under Rees. They both went to the NFL in 2018 and Rees didn’t become OC until 2020. That’s definitely characteristic of Kelly’s offenses though. Even when they ran the ball a lot in those years they still couldn’t pick up 3rd and short.

I am not sure why Simpson is not getting more praise? He didn't turn the ball over and he did what was needed to win the game. Milroe is a great athlete and a fantastic young man but every team we play is going to load the box like Texas did if he is the QB. With Simpson, at least teams will have to respect the pass, which in turn will open up the run game. Of course all this is irrelevant if the O-line cannot block anyone. Oh and Buchner is garbage, he is a true mirror image of his OC!!!!

[@jdavis9837]

Thank you. It seems like you're one of the few people in the comment section that has actually watched the games

[@Marcelluspayne1975]

Respect the pass with Simpson? USF didn’t respect the pass. Roydell Williams saved Bama. USF had 5 sacks, all against Simpson. 4 sacks was on him holding on to the ball. One sack was on Proctor getting beat. When protection broke down Milroe used his legs to make plays. Milroe made both teams he faced pay with the deep ball. He put up 24pts against Texas and had 2 touchdowns wiped off the board with penalties!!! Simpson has to mature before he see any SEC action.

[@jaserand6001]

To me Simpson, looked the most comfortable. He seemed to scan the field better than Milroe. O-line needs to get fixed though. No QB will do well with that line.

[@Will-fk2dk]

First of all, that is not easy to do in the middle of a Season. Second, Tommy Rees does not run that kind of Offensive scheme. And he is NOT good enough to recognize that he needs to change up the game plan to fit his QB or the rest of the talent on the team. He is too rigid and his play calling is abysmal. And finally, there is no way that they could run an option with how bad the Offensive Line has played. Just won't happen

[@G8trGreat904]

@Will-fk2dk I get what your saying but all Alabama is doing is trying force the QB put up the points when the RB WR and QB can do that.. the could easily switch to heavy run offense then try pick there shots it isn't just the QB to put up points or move the ball..

Coach Saben praised his team afterwards since he well knew the press was going to be all over them this week. I have never played a down in football but I have spent a long life time staying in good condition and the offensive line did not impress me at all. While it may be true that the line can all bench press five hundered and allegedly squat close to a thousand that doesn't impress someone who has seen body builders who walk around nearly as strong and in far better condition than these guys could ever hope to be even though the bodybuilders probably took far more anabolic drugs than did/does these Alabama Football players; but, that said, the offensive live appeared to me to be slow, awkward, and fat! They were constantly being out manuvered by defensive players over a hundred pounds lighter yet much more flexible, agile, and faster. Our offensive line at this point in time is, in a word, terrible! I know Mississippi is coming to Tuscaloosa but we are about to find a defense much better than we are expecting and with an offense with plays we have never seen. This Mississippi coach has come awfully close to beating Coach Saben too many times in the past, and this version of Coach Saben does not appear to the of the same material as the Saben was ten years ago. In my opinion we desperately need a Scott Cochran now, now more than ever. I well know of Scott's past problems although it has been a long time since I last had a chat with him, but even then he was impressed with the Chinese Olympic Lifting Weighting Team as I was and still am! What we need is a strength coach that his been trained in China since I read, write, and speak Chinese as well as having been in bodybuilding training now since even before Arnold and Franco arrived in the United States, that would not be the issue with me. The issue with me of course is that I am no longer young; and, neither is coach Saben!

The only 2 problems that Alabama has are the OL and the need to find a good QB. Everything else is fixable. I liked what I saw from Ty Simpson on Saturday. He came in as the backup and needed a few snaps to get into rhythm. He should be the starter going forward. Remember Trevor Lawrence also had quite a few so-so games as a freshman before he figured it all out and started dominating the game. Ty will continue to grow and eventually figure it all out.

Seems to me that the OL is too fat and slow footed. They can't move.

Can’t trust these ESPN experts anymore

Can you trust your eyes? Bama sucks dude

[@Atreyu-2]

​@@jrcrit8843 Yeah I can. Can you?

[@user-xk2zt6ni6x]

I think #12 will end up the QB

[@PhilMoskowitz]

People always blame coordinators when 'Bama isn't playing well.

[@charliebakerspen]

When you don't do your job well, you get blamed. The end

[@Marcelluspayne1975]

Only thing Jalen Milroe needs is games under his belt, and a offensive line that can hold blocks.

[@ericbush3399]

It's funny that Burton couldn't start at Georgia and he's the third checkdown receiver at Alabama.

[@prattman1072]

I have a great idea, hire Finebuam as the next head coach.

[@zacharybinx5443]

Did we just forget about The Citadel game with Tua?

[@jimmyjims8374]

That was only for a half. That team was embarrassed then came out and dominated the 2nd half. This team still came out weak and barely got the win in the 2nd half. It's disheartening.

[@rodrocketon9480]

All of these talking heads love Milroe, but the fact is HE CANNOT READ A DEFENSE OR GET BY HIS FIRST RECEIVER OPTION. I did not think Ty Simpson played poorly. He led them on scoring drives.

[@jg90049]

All I can say is, this Longhorn fan is no longer nervous about competing in the SEC starting next year.

[@TIDEPROCESS18]

Really? Caught a sorry bama and barely won, while y’all struggled with Wyoming. Stop😂

[@Rebel-Rouser]

I think they were trying to find the guy at QB... Buchner should never see the field again... Simpson will be the guy I think. With a package for Milroe of course...

[@na_k]

Not a fan, but I cannot believe Alabama....ALABAMA was unable to land a proven, starting-caliber QB in the transfer portal. That's unreal. But of the options they currently have, Milroe was always the best. They shouldn't have given up on him. The ND transfer didn't even throw 20 passes his last 2 seasons.

[@allensaunders449]

The HC is redoing for everything not blaming assistant coaches that's a copout

[@JayJay-he9bk]

How can you blame Reese for the bad o line???

[@keithreese9636]

Old saint Nick's last year, moving to Florida & a rocking chair on the porch! Maybe Bama can get Prime Time D. Sanders?

[@garyspence2128]

Why would Prime leave beautiful Colorado to go to backwards Alabama? He already had to endure lowly Mississippi for a few years. Did a great job there, but Deion knows that following Saban is a thankless task. He's custom built a roster at CU, and wants to enjoy coaching his son there. He'll go to the NFL before going to Bama.

[@stephengordon576]

Amazing how the mighty have fallen. Time, catches up with everyone sadly.

[@silvermine923]

Buckner doesn't even know how to spell his name.😂

[@Ash-xu7nu]

Let's stop totally blaming the players at Alabama they are trying their best, and let's let's look at the assistant coaches at Alabama. Including Tommy Reeses.

[@joncoyne6995]

Milroe has the hubby jeebies in the pocket but is by far the best

[@Scooterwithaplan]

will Saban announce his retirement before or after Christmas?

[@jcelldogs]

My guess is he fakes a medical emergency urban Meyer "bail before the shitstorm hits" excuse.

[@charlieweislastbeltloop7804]

why do you think us notre dame fans wanted tommy rees gone, notice our offense has exploded with our current oc?

[@Will97675]

Exactly. ND fans were relieved when Rees left. Imagine what would happen to Hartman if Rees was still calling the shots.

[@williambrightman1375]

​@@Will97675correct me if I am wrong, but was Rees Alabama's first choice for the job?

[@Will97675]

@@williambrightman1375 I have no idea but I do know that Saban was high on Rees when he first got the job

[@kylejohnson5493]

The thing about Georgia is that more than 1/2 their team is injured/ a lot of players heading to the NFL and coaching changes. They will be fine but Cash Jones having 3 TDs shows you the depth Georgia has on the team still Able to produce

[@08davey]

Meanwhile, Bama is in the CFP.

[@CoreyChristensen14]

Tommy Reese won 9 games last year with Drew Pyne at QB Paul. Maybe it’s Bama, not Reese.

[@108doublestitches]

Isn't he supposed to be a commentator. Didn't understand that Feinbam wears an Alabama cheerleader uniform. What about talking about USF.

[@kylejohnson5493]

I’m imagining what Bama fans would be saying if they hired Mike Bobo

[@philipmoore4615]

Neither QB turned the ball over yesterday. Not bad for being backups.

[@bama7263]

At this rate, Alabama will be lucky to be 500

[@drizzle452]

As an ND fan, we were wondering if St. Nick completely lost his mind. Buchner is a great kid but he ain’t the answer. Rees was born on 3rd base…smug/surly rich brat, hates recruiting and son of an NFL scout. ND has an average OC with a good QB and looks entirely different. TR is ridiculously overrated. Milroe is your best shot unless there’s something internally going on that I don’t know.

[@garyjeziorski4120]

give us lonergen atleast he can learn and be ready for next year. FIRE REES

[@heatbroker-cr3zz]

Saban😅😅 needs to be on every last one of these podcast.

[@jeffreyroedel9804]

LSU lost in week 1 to a great Florida State team on the road (probably the 3rd best team in the country) based on one bad half of defense (the first half LSU was up at halftime). Since then they are playing completely different set of RBs, have Maason Smith back at tackle and have figured some things out on defense. Just curb-stomped Mississippi State on the road without multiple starters. They are very much a different team than week 1. I can see LSU and Ole Miss both beating Bama, so the LSU/Ole Miss game in two weeks could be the one deciding the SEC West and who will face Georgia.
