I will say this until im blue in the face, the six game streak in 2006 was for all intense and purposes going to haunt us for the following reasons.
1) We went from pass happy last year to running ricky (at seasons end) solely because we were audtioning him for a trade, result , ricky gets carries and helps us win 6 games, and We don't trade ricky cause he's suspended.
2) Nearly 1/2 our players that were on that team knew they were gonners, all it did was move us out of the top 10 for a high draft pick in what some would argue was the best draft since 1983.
I feel like we have taken a step back this year, but it was a step that should have been taken in 06.
We did upgrade the QB position in the offseason, and we have some decent corners that can play the new system.
We just don't have the linebackers, offensive lineman, and I'll say it, it appears that we lack a playmaker on offense, maybe on defense as well.
And now I would add Kicker to that list.
Now were playing for a top 10 draft pick again but just like 2 years ago, it appears that the draft won't be nearly as talent layden as it was in 06.
I've accepted the fact that this season is over, I have.
If we wanted to win all we need to do is run the ball 26-30 times again, I mean the numbers don't lie when we do Saban is undefeated, the problem is we don't want to be that type of team any more at it would seem that we are willing to sacrifice this season until this team learns to be explosive.
Unfortunately its a lesson we could've learned last season if we had stuck to our plan.
I am still standing by this team and this coaching staff through thick and thin cause it will happen I just think what were seeing now could have been avoided if we had tanked all last year.
See having a player like a Dan Marino, or a Ricky Williams, can quickly hide your shortcomings, and I don't think that Saban wants that type of team.
