I'm surprised the Chicago commentators didn't suggest bringing back DIH-kah.

He did. Made good throws. Made good decisions. Ran for first down. Changed the plays on the line. Essentially 6-8, if you remove Franklin falling down and Bowe running too deep of a route. Bottom line: 80 yd drive. What else can we ask for?

We'll see. My buddy who's a Alabama fan said he wasn't even a good college qb. Anything can happen though, i think that is apparent...

He is flat out wrong. Croyle owns about every Bama QB record.

1. First string offense has a lot of promise. Hard to tell if Herb Taylor or the right side was up to the job because Gailey's playcalls didn't trust them at all. Croyle and Thigpen have proven to be effective when mobile. When Huard comes in, the offense reverts to 2007. That's not coincidence, and it leads me to believe that pass protection will still be a problem.
2. All RBs look solid, almost all WRs looked solid, too. Only significant WR I was not impressed with was Darling, who was invisible. 3. I think Lovie and Herm had a gentleman's agreement to not blitz each other's QB. I don't think I saw a single blitz. 4. LJ is going to LOVE the ZBS. The guy gets to crunch linebackers, now. 5. DJ looked good, but all other linebackers failed to play the right gap or play tough. Only DJ made a truly powerful play. 6. Our secondary was schooled several times over, but not without promise. Maurice Leggett was beat on two obvious plays (one of them being a TD), but only because he made minor, correctable mistakes. His coverage was otherwise pretty strong. Morgan got beat a couple times as well, but his speed is undeniable. Page needs to wrap up better, still. 7. Our DL is in trouble, even if Dorsey returns. We might be okay in the middle when he returns (a rotation of Edwards, Tank, Dorsey, and sometimes Boone could be a LOT of fun, although our scrub DTs -- particularly Lokey and T.J. Jackson -- were slaughtered), but we're going to be hurting on the outside all year. Boone is not fast enough to get around the corner at DE, Hali was shut down on sacks but he didn't play too bad, and no other DE made noise other than Turk and Jason Parker on a couple of chases. 8. Barth was money on his kick, so that's good. But neither kicker could get the ball to the endzone on kickoffs. 9. No major kick returns. Sams didn't even return one. Charles was iffy. Savage was actually the best returner of the night. 10. I think our offense will get into the lower 20s or upper teens, and I think our defense is going to be in the mid to lower 20s. I think our defense has lots of talent, especially in the secondary, but we're going to get killed from having no depth at LB, and no talent other than Hali at DE. |

This Devard Darling shit is getting ridiculous. He was great in training camp. He's not Samie ****ing Parker.

I hope we can find a serviceable DE who shakes loose from another franchise before the season opens. Hali will be ineffective if he doesn't get some help from the other side. Dorsey should absorb some double teams, but a workable body on the other side would help.

And Croyle owns quite a few of Bama's records, more than Joe Namath. Although he was injury prone in college. |

I'll tell you the other thing I liked about Brodie, is that he spreads the ball around, Brady-style.
Love that stuff. |

He was solid at DT.
I think he wore down quite a bit as the year went on... He played more than he expected to. And he truly wasn't in the kind of shape necessary for being an every down guy. That hurt Napolean Harris. We need a real DE. I said this for months and everyone thought I was crazy. Doesn't seem so crazy now... We cannot field a Defense that can't get to the QB. Hopefully a serviceable DE gets cut before the season opens. |
