Is Roth a disappointment?

saban said today in his pc that there have been 3 guys to make the most improvement so far in camp and they were roth, crowder and daniels, and that roth had his best performance to date in the pitt game.
 
The guy has never taken a snap that counts. There's no way he can be a dissapointment already.
 
He's niether a disappointment or a success, you're about six months (minimum) too early to judge that.
 
Wow some of you guys are amazing, we havent played one game that counts and you are already asking if a guy is a dissapointment?????? He's also just a rookie, please stay indoors the heat down here in Miami can cause some serious damage....
 
Actually, Roth did more than just get a sack against the Steelers. When Crowder dropped their RB for like a seven yard loss, Roth was one of the guys who had a huge push to help disrupt the play for Crowder to come in. He got into the QB's face a couple of other times as well. He may have turned a small corner at the last game, at least, I hope he did. Come to think of it, even Manny Wright and Kevin Vickerson had good games. Our Rookies really looked like they belonged last week.

I think, given Ronnie's lack of playing and practice time so far, that if you were to hand out an award for best rookie in training camp, it would have to go to Channing Crowder. The guy has not only stayed healthy, but performed like a stud on defense and may very well bump Seau from the starting lineup before this season is done. He had played that good.

Daniels would be a medium second. I think we are all agreed that his play has helped ease some of our fears about the other CB spot. He had the advantage of knowing the system when he came in, but still. He has adjusted to the speed of the pro game nicely and has made some nice plays and shown he can actually tackle ( Madison take notes ). If he is healthy, he could be the first rookie to start a game for us this year.

Roth will definately get some playing time but he won't start. The fortunate thing for us is that we don't need him to start right away. The front seven and the starting d-line, more specifically, has looked stellar. That allows Matt to sit for awhile and learn behind some fantastic ball players and come in on mop up duty and certain alignments. Plus, when he is ready to come in, he should be prepared and RARING to rip some poor QB's head off ( hopefully Losman's, Brady's or Pennington's...or better yet Fiedler's!)

Overall, I have been very impressed with Saban's defensive rookies. Hopefully his main offensive one will be just as impressive, if not moreso. And no, all you wise a$$es I am not talking about Alabi...
 
:rofl3: you guys are hilarious...

The kid is a ROOKIE...

He has alot to learn... so relax and have some patience, because in a year or two... he is gunna be great.

Nasty
 
this is crazy.. give the kid a chance.

he is a talented young man with a lot of passion and energy, and more importantly a will to be a success.

the reason he went in the 2nd round and not the 1st as once touted was because he had a lack of moves. he'll learn these off JT in good time and become a solid player for us.

roth's only real problem is that he has been overhyped by us, the fans, and hasn't lived up to the huge expectation.
 
you guys are pathetic the guy is a rookie playing on a team that has changed its hold playbook on d and off. and you exspect him to come in and be a world beater right away the vets are havin trouble keeping up persides that the season isn't even on the way i mean com'on guys stop your bashing...
 
Sun Sentinel] Coach Nick Saban credited three rookies on defense as being the most improved players during training camp: defensive tackle (matt roth) linebacker Channing Crowder and cornerback Travis Daniels.
