He's picked a few pretty asinine plays to challenge, by the way. But, on a related note...

Why the $%*& does our stadium have to be the only friggin' one in the league where replays aren't shown a hundred times from various angles, slow motion, etc. when there is a challenge? Is this just another nuance of Jerry Richardson showing his allegiance and support to the league?

In two cases, Fox challenged plays that obviously wouldn't be overruled. However, in both cases, one of his starting players was down on the field at the time he threw the challenge flag.

Why is this important? Because in both cases, if play was stopped to send out medical personnel, those players would have had to come out for the next play. By throwing the challenge flag Fox basically got a five minute timeout (or longer) for the cost of a time out and a later challenge, but got to keep the slightly injured player on the field and active in the next play.

It might have looked bad in the two cases I know of, but honestly, that's some smart heads up coaching.

      Player-led approach

      By frankw · Posted

      On the surface given our struggles I get why people would initially hear this and be apprehensive. But we do need players being vocal and being confident and speaking up. That is what builds a culture. Especially when it involves young players getting opportunities which was not always a thing with past coaches. But the head coach still needs to assert authority and take ownership of his group and make smart decisions on gamedays. It's gonna be a long season so we might as well just let it play out and revisit this later.

      He can’t.  Not by NFL standards.  More than enough evidence at this stage to make that determination.  For even a chance at one Bryce has to get a perfect look and that’s not NFL football.   His weak arm gets nerfed too much when you get him off an ideal setup.  Bryce’s ball placement and accuracy are horrible downfield.  That applied at Bama.  Bama WRs just had room to adjust.  Bryce defenders just repeat this lie about his Bama deep ball.  NFL balls have to be well placed to dudes only NFL open.  Bryce leads the NFL is bad throw % since arriving.  His accuracy and balls are garbage vs his peers.  Countless plays for years where dudes are NFL open downfield and Bryce just lets the DB have just as good as a shot at it or takes the WR out of bounds.  It’s not a debate.  Dudes flat out open this year on repeat.  He can’t make the throws.  So the talk about not having speed is auto debunked and a distraction.  Open is open and Bryce has gotten the looks

      In 2021, Young only completed 10 passes of 20 yards or more, resulting in a 36.1% completion rate on such throws, according to AL.com. This was significantly less than other Alabama quarterbacks like Mac Jones in 2020 (29 completions, 58%) and Tua Tagovailoa in 2018 (24 completions, 57.1%).
