As a Bama guy I watch pretty much all of Sagan’s stuff, he always gives ton of credit to opponents and I’ve never heard him be so tepid on another player. He had no idea why the guy only played a few series…was it conditioning? Injury? Getting beat? None of those are good especially injury. If you only start one season and miss 30% of the games, at his size, you are injury prone.
Also, Beck was only sacked 11 times on the year so not allowing one in about 65% of the snaps isn’t a major accomplishment
Saban also told the Miami Dolphins he wasn’t going anywhere so I don’t know why people would believe what he says.
Mims played in 8 games as a freshman, 14 games as a sophomore including 2 starts in the college playoffs to include their back to back national championship game. Not sure why Saban thinks a playoff game is more important than a national championship game. But, I’ll just chalk it up to Saban talking out his ass.
Does Saban even pay attention to the SEC? Because if he did he would know Mims had tightrope surgery for a high ankle sprain which he re-injured during the playoff game. Just like a Brock Bowers re-injured his ankle after tightrope surgery for a high ankle sprain. If Kirby was smart he would have held both of them out until the playoffs.
I’m sure Saban knows this so I’m not sure why he is acting dumb.
I don’t think missing games due to one injury during three years in the SEC makes a player injury prone, either.
