Overall a good game and lots of talent. I don’t want to make too much of an assessment about the O and D lines because its too hard to gauge without blitzes and schemes. But there was a lot to like, especially with quarterbacks and receivers.
Wiggins and Ivey are who we thought they were. Dropped passes by #8, missed tackles by #8. Maybe its the jersey number but Darnell Jenkins was pretty good. Ivey looks like tarzan but plays like Jane.
I’m not trying to get down on last year’s receivers but with Pope do we pay more attention to his getting open and his catches, or his drop on the easy pass down the sideline?
Rambo, Keyshawn Smith and Johnson were the best receivers, and we already know Harley can play. It is obvious that Harley has nothing left to prove and was not featured.
Avantae generally looked good but he has to make the tackle on Knighton’s run. A high level safety has to clean up that run and hold it to a 10 yard gain. I am confident that will come with playing.
The Smith boys; Chase and Keontra, certainly add speed. Once Chase gets used to where he needs to be, his future is through the roof barring injury. He just seems to have "It".
The Kinchens INT was good read and a play we have to have at safety. We need turnovers and that means players looking to make a play in addition to making a tackle.
I thought TVD and Garcia both played well and both will do well. My concern is what will the loser of that battle do in 2022? I would love to keep both, add Brown, and create real depth at the position.
. Thing is Bama OL maybe the best in the country and with what we put out Saturday we aren’t going to do anything defensively
