So Diaz really wants to tie his fate to Brandon Jennings and DJ Ivey

Only couple game comments

– I cannot stand AT THIS LEVEL…IN BIG GAMES…why coaches play kids that are clearly dog shyt…I (and I’m sure some of you) heard all this DJ Ivey hype for the last month. I never even entertained that any of it was true. THE KID IS DOGSHIT. He should be the 6th-7th corner at UM. And I don’t mean on good teams…He has a miserable career here, he is not good and won’t be good. And Corey Flagg made more plays in one quarter than Jennings has made in his entire UM career. And I’m not even touting Flagg as the next Michael Barrow…The point is he’s better than Jennings, and it’s not close

You owe these kids nothing. I like coachable kids and hard workers as much as the next guys. I’m cool with rewarding them with an occasional drive and then a couple drives when you play a weaker team. But these kids are doing nothing but blocking talent. Don’t make this tougher than what it is Diaz! And I didn’t particularly expect it to be ehhh particularly close. And yes Bama did answer some offensive question marks in a big way…But my god play your best players. It’s like Diaz is going out of his way to handicap himself. The players I just named are awful and should not be on the field other than a down here or there or mop up time (and then only a series or two then you get young kids time)
We’ve seen enough. They can’t play a lick

– Is there a worse, more overrated idea…Than a goaline, short yardage hurry up? I made that post on the old board countless times. Especially on a 4th down…Hell forget the play call and the execution, forget that you are up against FUCKING Bama a team that no one has beat in the trenches in a decade. You are opening yourself up to missed assignments, false starts, and tipping your hand
If you are going to do something that stupid…PREPARE…And run a wrinkle off of it. Hate the hurry up, hate the call

– Couch looked good, Flagg actually looked ok I thought. I don’t think Stevenson was beat. Kinchens got his head in there. Great catch Restrepo. Good news is it only gets easier from here. O-line got destroyed, but it will only get easier from here.

Well the was fun… Can’t let down…App state can run and play D.

You can’t go face Bama with Sun Belt players on the field…You will get sun belt results.

If your a top player are you going to Miami? Unless you see you can start right away but that is always our problem. We get the kids who want the instant start instead of getting the kids who want to put in the time to be great.

Then more reason to stop playing these upperclassmen stiffs.

70 should be the starting RT.
23 should be the starting CB.

James Williams needs to see the field more.

Brooks & Cave need to get healthy or Jenkins will give away some games.

DE didn’t produce but Neal is top 5.

DT didn’t look like a top 5 group. Not enough push until late. 56 better get snaps vs App State.

George at WR better get snaps.

2>>>23.

King is a good QB but not great. The WRs aren’t good enough to make up for his limitations.

Can’t disagree with much of that, but not like we didn’t know it going in imo

Bama is just a different animal. Bryce Young’s youth and new OC losing a lot of weapons, even by Bama’s reload standard made me think we could keep em in 27-38 range ya know.

Hopefully Williams and Kitchens make Hall shit or get off the pot…Hall wasn’t terrible today but he’s just never taken a step.

I agree Chaney is better than Harris, but I think Cam Harris will play in the NFL. Chaney looks like a Bama back imo…Needs to keep that shoulder healthy.

Hard to judge DL against Bama…Them and Georgia do this to everyone. OU to a certain extent too. We knew this was our weakest set of ends in 3-4 years. Chantz Williams flashed and at least Harvey got near QB a couple times even if he roughed the passer.

I don’t want Jennings and Ivey anywhere near the field. Hall can join em if he doesn’t take a step up. Did Blades play today? I know he was slowed during camp.

I think George may need physical strength
