Is this one of the guys that Pruitt is talking about? I don't know why he cannot catch these easy interceptions? At least 3 this year that has gone right through his hands. He's getting better at tackling, but is not a ball-hawk in any shape or fashion.

I don’t think Warrior is who JP is talking about. Some of the OL and DL guys for sure.

That said, if you’re gonna be a top player you gotta make that play. Any safety at Florida, Ga, aub, LSU or Bama makes that play easily. Warrior was 5* guy.

You are probably right. I know he plays the run very well and seemed to tackle pretty good. I guess he can't help it that he has alligator arms. :oops:

I think he was referring to some of the guys who had the silly personal fouls, and he mentioned guys not looking over to the sidelines for their signals, or stepping out of position before the snap. He mentioned that there were a lot of mental mistakes and that is what I felt like the game maybe overwhelmed some of them. Just how I took it.

Pruitt has said (and we all see) that warrior is one of our emerging leaders on defense, so I don’t think that’s who he was referring to. But that said, warrior HAS to catch those balls! He’s dropped a few easy ones. Shoot, I could’ve caught that...

I know it’s unlikely, but there’s a chance Tua wins the Heisman and doesn’t throw a pick all year. We got the pick 6 on hurts again but it would’ve felt good to get the first (possibly only) INT on Tua. Small victories

Warrior has improved tremendously this season. He was living off his 247 star rank, but the last 2-3 games he's actually been very promising.

Just keep getting better week by week.

I still think we're going to get another upset WIN this season, maybe more than 1.

I also believe that soon people will stop making us the underdogs.

I wish we would stomp the useless cocks and will muschUmp by 4 TD's or more.

VFL...GBO!!!

Lack of hand strength. Needs to walk around with those "hand springs" and every time he takes a step,, squeeze. After a few months he will be able to mash the air out of the ball as he catches it!

My hunch is that JG is one of the guys Pruitt is talking about. The very first play, his wr was open on a slant I think, and JG missed it bad. Then proceeded ( next series?) to not read the safety rolling down indicating a cb blitzing. Protection should have been adjusted there by JG. It seemed to me that maybe the fear of big bad bama had him rattled a little, even before ever taking a hit.

But, I could be wrong. In the end, only Pruitt knows exactly who the person (s) were he was referring to.

I could too, but never could have jumped high enough to get a hand on it!!

Bama’s first TD pass also should’ve been a pick.

The fact that Thompson was in that good of man coverage on the receiver is a credit to him and this staff. It simply was an excellent throw by an NFL caliber QB. Lawd help us all, saban for the first time in his career has a starting NFL caliber QB, and not a game manager.
