How long have you been watching football? You cannot tell the deficiencies of a unit by watching games? You need some ppf stats or power ranking to make conclusion?
Again, you specifically mentioned the OL and DL. When I questioned you on it you deflected to all this mess which has nothing to do with my post.
To be honest it just stands out to me more because of where Tua came from. I just always had my worries that a guy with his history, where he played college football at a program where pretty much every player on the field with him was going to be a pro, many of them first or second day picks, and just really never dealt with games in college where he played a team that could kick his ***. Tua is a guy who really hasn't played a defense that could really dominate LOS until the NFL and that is rare. Because, perhaps outside of maybe Ohio State and Clemson, who im still not sure have the overall physical dominance if Alabama, i think any other qb coming into the league will have had to play through games where their team is outmatched and their pocket is dirty nearly every play.
Lol
I'm certain that played a part in it. How big, not sure but you can't deny it has its effects.
I feel differently on it, yeah maybe he hasn’t had to deal with the dirty pocket in college but he still faced defenses that came to stop him. Difference is he had a bonafide RB and three all star WRs who got separation all game long. Give him just a few weapons and he’ll be fine because he’s an intelligent individual who will adapt. Even though the Rams came at him h didn’t panic. Today was a disaster on all levels and the Broncos were at him from the start. And sometimes you just don’t match up well against a team even though you’re the better team.
Honestly I saw panic in the Rams game. We can likely field better receivers than what we have now but we'll never field three receivers as good compared to their opponents as Alabama had.
Did I ever mention DL in this thread? You want detail, be detail to yourself first. You seems lack of detail. Oh... I don't have stats to support it. Good bye.
I heard of qb sophomore struggle, i did not know of any OL mid season slump. I am not saying you are wrong, may be i am just not well informed.
There is the so called rookie wall after about ten games where they say guys start to wear down. Not sure how that would work with no preseason this year.
Agreed. I was surprised. Even if Fitz ties then wins the game. It will be a hollow victory with Tua being replaced. If Tua did what Fitz did and threw an endzone int, its a valuable lesson for him . The only reason i can think of its his foot situation is worst than what led to believe.
Poor coaching...
