Interesting considering he outraced a CB with 4.39 speed.

I know, you told me that yesterday. Matter of fact you told many people that yesterday.

Typical Saban offensive players---usually NFL duds.

You mean like Julio Jones? Amari Cooper? Calvin Ridley? The soon to be leading rusher in Saints history, Mark Ingram? 

Foster issues I think are all mental. Has the physical skills but not mentally in the game.

 

Levi Wallace has been playing good.

Anyone got ice cream?

Julios great. Cooper was awful last year, the jury is still out on him. Ridley hasn't even played a snap yet. Mark Ingram has a whopping 2 1000 yard seasons I believe. He's taken 7 seasons to rush for 5,000 yds. That's a bit of a misleading statistic.

 

So you're 1/4. Terrific point.

Cooper was hurt most of the year and Ingram plays on a team that emphasizes the pass. Point made back to you.

 

Which is exactly why he's not a great RB. He's respectable, but he's no where near great. That franchise doesn't have a history of good rbs, and has been emphasizing the pass as you pointed out for like the last 15 years. Being the Saints all time leading rusher for a shade over 6,000 yds, over 8 years isn't impressive. He's be respectable, but he's not someone I'd use to debunk the narrative that Alabama doesn't churn out offensive talent.

 

However, the more I think about it, they are probably right where they should be. Clemson, FSU, USC, ND, OSU could have cases made against their offensive players being underwhelming.

Ridley scored a td tonight...another point. 

 

Foster was a stretch no one is saying he wasn't. Julio and Ingram were recruited by Saban in 2008. His first real recruiting year in Bama. Let the Bama hate go.

 

It's Preseason. I like Ridley but the guy hasn't played a regular season game. You're not making any points on Ridley that put him in the conversation of good NFL players Alabama has produced. I'm done because clearly you're unhinged.

I'm not saying Ingram is the greatest running back ever. I'm also not saying all Sabans off players usually are duds. Ridley will be good. You don't have to believe it. Foster is gone. Aj probably stays. If Np had another year under his belt he would probably be 2nd string. Ignorance leads to name calling. Try not to do so. You said duds...Ingram isnt a dud. Julio isnt a dud Cooper isnt a dud. Ridley wont be a dud. Lacy wasnt a dud until he got to and stayed in the NFL. There is great, good, and dud (bad). The players I've mention may not be great but they arent duds.

You'd probably say OJ Howard is a dud, Kenyan Drake is a dud, Derrick Henry is a dud. Man there are a lot of Alabama duds playing first string in the NFL.

There are a lot of folks here with inferiority complexes.

 

They have a strong need to belittle others because of their poor self image. Alabama’s success is particularly infuriating to them.

 

Demeaning Others
Those with an inferiority complex feel the constant need to prove themselves better than others to boost their self-esteem. When they fail, they tend to belittle others' efforts so that they can feel better about themselves. In such cases, instead of being socially withdrawn, they may be outspoken to an extent that is rude.

That's exactly who he was referring to in his prior post...

 

I answered no to the main topic of discussion not his post...I did not quote his post when I answered "No"

What a Big Night. Absolutely HUGE. 

 

And Equally Huge was McCarron’s night. 

Ok, you've got my vote to replace Kelso as 'colour commentator' on the radio broadcasts.  ?
