Caleb DS is looking around seeing all these guys leave there’s just question marks you don’t know how it’s going to go you don’t know who’s going to be playing along with you on that defense cuz here’s the thing with great players you want to play with other great

Players it’s going to make it that much easier for you this sucks sucks I think you can tell from the tone of my voice probably the energy from this video I’m not happy you could argue and say it’s ruined my day I wanted them to stay but

Like we say on this channel it is what it is this here we are again here we are again guys and girls shout out to the female viewers I normally know what to get up here and see early this morning I believe it was like 7:50 it’s when I first saw the

Reports coming out that our beloved I don’t even know if y’all can see me but it’s all right Matt when you’re editing this make sure you zoom in best editor on the planet by the way the news came out that Caleb Downs he’s leaving he entered the

Portal of course I’m not going to sit up here and spazz out and say oh my gosh I’m shot like no man you shouldn’t be shot Ed by this this was definitely in the realm and possibilities of just everything going on but it’s still regardless even if you

Could tell yourself hey this might happen until it actually happens it doesn’t sit in with you it doesn’t become a reality as a fan you want to be optimistic and have your glass half full and cling onto the hope that maybe Cale down stays and I think you should do that you

Don’t want to be some Negative Nancy you don’t want to be the guy like oh my gosh the Dynasty’s falling off it’s over we had a good run no you don’t want to be that fan nobody likes hanging out with those people you don’t want to be

That guy all you don’t want to be that guy or Lady this is the knockout punch it’s what I’m calling it this was the one guy that we had Amos leave last night he was a starter he was a defensive back and then we had another potential starter Antonio kite Le

Even with those two guys leaving even with NL leaving even with Isaiah Bond leaving what do we cling to oh yeah well that sucks but and it stings but we got CB Downs all right I think that’s better there’s no matter how you try to look at

This situation this is a big fat L for the Alabama program the university the coaching staff and more importantly or not more importantly but it’s all important but you get what I’m saying you guys and me the fan base big fat L we needed DS to stay we needed him to

Stay we currently don’t have any defensive backs I think we have four or five on the roster and the guys that are on the roster didn’t play Losing Kool-Aid to the draft losing Arnold to the draft and the guys that we’re going to start have all it’s not

Even just like a couple all officially gone and as aan you can sit up here and try to be optimistic all you want but you have there’s a fine line with being optimistic and living in reality I always strive to and I don’t just strive to I do I live in

Reality I tell myself the cold hard truth all the time and I’m going to do it to you guys as well it’s not looking good not looking good whatsoever and when I say it’s not looking good you have to understand I am comparing us to the gold standard I’m

Holding us to the Nick Sabin standard that we’ve been accustomed to that I’ve been accustomed to personally my entire life you got to understand ever since I could start keeping up with college football and understand the game all I’ve known is Nick saving that’s it all I’ve known is winning here’s the thing

Recruiting in college football isn’t just important it is vital it is vital you can be the greatest coach in the world but if you can’t recruit and if you’re not getting four and five star recruits it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans I’ll use Alabama basketball as an example look at

The Alabama basketball team last year number one overall seed in the tournament the number one team why cuz we had dudes fast for time to this year still got a really good team we’re four and on the SEC but if you’ve been watching the Alabama basketball team you

Know it’s not the same team they’re not as good as last year is that a reflection of Nate oats the Alabama basketball coach no he’s still the same coach same philosophy same everything just he doesn’t have the same guys last year doesn’t have the Brandon Millers the Noah Clowny the NBA draft prospects

Recruiting is important but not only recruiting but having dudes that’s what I call them you can call them dogs whatever you want I call them dudes you got to have dudes if you want to not even just win but compete in the SEC why does South Carolina suck why does

Kentucky suck why did Arkansas suck this year they don’t got dudes vanderbild they don’t got dudes and South Carolina will continue to go seven and five six and six CU they don’t have dudes it’s as plain and as simple as that and I hate it for their fan bases

But it’s reality now on the contrary for schools like Tennessee and Florida I know the past few years they’ve you know Tennessee was good this year and last year but I’m talking about the past 13 years Tennessee only sucked just due to coaches they were getting four and five

Stars they just had to fix a coach a school like South Carolina ain’t never going to be competing for championships okay not going to happen same thing with Texas Texas been getting the quote unquote dudes they just don’t have a good head coach and they finally get one

You see what happens make the playoff go figure hoodie mat in the building let me take this off what hurt so much about Caleb DS deciding to leave is I know how special this guy is and he is the type of player you could almost build a

Defense around because he can do a little bit of everything and he’s only going to get better and better and better comparison I’ve used I was saying this when he was in high school coming to B I said MinGa Fitzpatrick I said he’s going to be one of the best players

On B’s defense in the off season I saw comments talking about Matt you’re crazy this guy’s a true freshman and here we are now is the most fought after DB in transfer portal history and Ohio State’s going to offer him the bag I do expect him to go to

Georgia right now cuz why wouldn’t you and here’s the thing too B fans you got to put yourself in issues he wanted to stay at Bama but the Bama he committed to and the Bama he played for last year isn’t the same Bama moving forward he

Came to play for DBU you know the head coach of DBU is Nick sapen it’s not a coincidence Sabin specializes in DBS and Caleb DS comes to Alabama say you got actually argue and say the only reason he came to Alabama in the first place is

Because of St Nick okay and now he’s gone and now we got the offensive mod head coach and I like dor I’m liking him and we’ll see what happens he hasn’t coached a game yet but the point is that’s a part of the problem all right Caleb DS is looking around seeing all

These guys leave and seeing these new head coaches come in where hiring non power five head uh head coaches to coach the defense and he’s like wait a minute what what’s going on I don’t know if these guys are going to be good we just hired a head coach from Buffalo who went

14 and 23 South Alabama’s head coach who just went 22 and 16 there’s just question marks you don’t know how it’s going to go you don’t know who’s going to be playing along with you on that defense because here’s the thing with great players you want to play with

Other great players it’s going to make it that much easier for you if you’re a great player playing with mediocre players it’s going to make you look worse cuz then you got to clean up their mistakes and they may mess up it’s going to affect you no no no and right now the

Way I’m looking at it I ignore that right now the way I’m looking at it is I’m trying to put myself in his shoes here and you do the same thing look at Georgia defensive mindor head coach check oh yeah they’re also pretty good football team check they’re going to be competing for

Championships we don’t know if Alabama’s going to be competing for a championship hope we do but there’s a question mark there and also there’s not uncertainty you know a lot of the defensive coaches there he knows t- robob he just left Alabama that probably plays into it he

Just left Alabama to go to Georgia with Kirby Smart Check everything’s lining up and it’s a perfect storm for him to go to Georgia which personally I’m not mad at maybe some B fans are mad about that I honestly could care less I’m wishing him

The best of luck I’m happy he came to Alabama but it’s his future it’s not mine I got my own life and own problems to worry about I’m rooting for Caleb I’m rooting for all these Alabama guys that leave of course doesn’t make me happy that they’re leaving but at the end of

The day I want to see them all succeed that’s just the type of person I am I want to see everybody in this life succeed okay there’s enough success to go around because there’s so many losers out here that don’t want to work hard it becomes easy to be successful you just

Got to put in a little bit of hard work it’s a business decision that’s how it is that’s how I view it and if I was a defensive back at Alabama and I could choose currently what I’d rather start at b or start at Georgia I’m going to

Georgia and I’m not riding Alabama off don’t get it twisted like a lot of people are like oh yeah Alabama’s cooked and it’s over form him I’m not going to do all that cuz people are acting like we’re on a four game losing streak we’re in the offseason man we’re going to have

Some guys leave a lot of guys leave probably and a lot already have but we also May pick up a few here and there you never know but here’s what I’ll say for the situation as it is right now it’s not looking good okay you can’t

Sugar coat it I’m not going to sugar coat it’s not looking good however with all that being said I am not pushing the panic button just quite yet not going to do it I’m going to give Kellen deor shot give him some time like I said we are 0

And0 we haven’t lost any games with him as a head coach I’m going to see him out okay I got to see what he does before I quote unquote push the panic button just because we have guys leave some notable guys at that leave I can’t push the

Panic button I can’t do it I won’t do it don’t get it twisted all right this sucks sucks I think you can tell from the tone of my voice probably the energy from this video I’m not happy you could argue and say it’s for in my day I

Wanted him to stay but like we say on this channel it is what it is he came to play for Nick Sabin and Sabin is no longer at Alabama and although I wouldn’t push the panic button just quite yet I will say this we are falling apart but here’s the thing with that

Just cuz we’re falling apart and something bad happened to us it might not be bad in the long run and let me explain I’m going to tell youall this and we’re going to end out the video here and if you don’t listen to a single other part please listen to this part

There’s a story of a poor farmer where he has a horse and the horse winds up running away and his neighbors find out about it and they tell him man that sucks and the farmer looks back at him and says maybe a few days ago by and guess what his horse returns with

Another horse everybody comes up to him says man that’s awesome that’s great news and he says maybe the point is in that story just because something bad happens to you you don’t actually know if it’s bad and we lose Caleb DS and you’re not going to find another Caleb

DS but maybe kayin deor is like all right I need to get three new defensive backs and those three defensive backs may be a better unit than our current defensive backs you see what I’m saying just something for you to try and thought in I’ll end off the video here

Let me set up for this I am not pushing the panic button let me know your thoughts down below but
