Spring Training 2021

Let’s just fire Collins now. He doesn’t practice like Saban, so enough is enough! Maybe we can have someone on staff that worked with Saban, then maybe things would be different.

With Saban’s winning percentage against his former assistants, it looks like none of his coaching tree practices like him either

Absolutely correct. Until we hire Saban, we will never be great. I say we give up until the Institute puts all their money into hiring him.

He must be sick of Tuscaloosa. What can you do there?

Nothing but win titles.

Damn you guys are pretty critical for the first scrimmage in pads. I do appreciate the write ups though.
Are they all open or was that a one-off? Trying to get the munchkin and old lady to go one saturday

 

[mtodd30]

For the next two Saturdays they’re open

It’s Year 3.

It’s the first padded practice in the Spring.

We are projecting doom off of the first padded in Spring?!? Geez Louise

I still hope Yates is being given a fair shot. Make Sims earn it every year.

Yates is battling to keep his QB2 job so not even close to QB1. He might struggle to even keep QB2.

Haven't you heard? Competition is now only 95.45% King going forward. One starter has already been penciled in.

I would really be curious if other teams are having issues with WRs not knowing how to line up in spring practice. Is that something an "experienced" -
i.e. not a new transfer to the position- would simply forget in less than 6 months ??? I seriously doubt it. It sounds to me like a lack of focus, something that seemed to plague us
a lot last year. If competition is king as they proclaim, then the person simply not knowing where to line up should be BTL, IMO.

Yes, other teams have the same issue, especially 3 practices into spring practice. Teams are usually rusty and more mistake prone at the beginning of spring practice. You get better as you go. Happens every year with every team.

Not worried........yet.

IMO, the biggest mistake of spring practice so far was letting the fans watch...

 

[mtodd30]

(Open practice isn’t for the fans, it’s for all the recruits during COVID)

There will always be naysayers.
But I have some great memories watching practice with my brothers, dad, and uncle under multiple coaches. I remember reading TheHive practice threads when I was in middle school and high school. I think this program needs more fan engagement, even if we have some negative stuff said.

I’m one of the biggest Collins homers here. I love everything he is doing but after 2 years of looking like a dumpster fire, yeah maybe his team would show something other than mistakes in a practice. He knows the public is watching on Saturdays. I get that it’s the third practice so let’s see how it looks in 3 weeks.

 

[UgaBlows]

Doesn't matter. We are 3 practices into spring practice. If you were expecting a well oiled machine after 3 practices you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Please don’t take this as a CPJ/spread-option sucks post, put I have been to several spring games in that era where the Offense looked God-fawking-awful, and that was at the end of spring ball. Be patient and see if these guys progress thru the end of spring fb

Most spring practices always ugly as hell. CPJ used to open Saturday scrimmages for parents. Which means that your parents can clearly hear when Johnson asks if you "are ****ing blind or something" when you whiff on a LB.

trust me, our 2014 spring practices were a basket case

I was able to attend a Saturday practice back when Tenuta was there too. They didn’t skip the explicatives.
