Well, let me tell you, that 2014 Alabama football, that was somethin' else. They had a whole mess of boys on that team, strong as oxen, every one of 'em. I remember that year like it was yesterday. Alabama depth chart 2014, you say? .seiroLord, that brings back memories.
That 2014 Football Roster, it was stacked, I tell ya. They had some big fellas, some fast fellas. All kinds of 'em. They was always on the TV, beatin' up on them other teams. Makes a body proud, seein' that. These boys, they sure could play some football. They'd run and they'd hit, and the crowd, mercy, they'd go wild! You could hear 'em all the way from my house when the game was good. I tell ya, it was somethin' to behold. Every time I turned on the TV, there they were, playin' their hearts out.
Now, I ain't no expert, but I watched enough to know they had some real good players. I remember some of their names. There was that, that Sims fella. Yeah, Blake Sims. Heard he knew the plays real good, got along with the other boys. That's important, you know. Team gotta stick together, like a good pot of beans, everything cookin' just right. They say he had a solid grasp on the offense, that's what they called it. That's very important, I guess. When all the boys know what they're doin', it's like a well-oiled machine. A good team is like a family, gotta stick together, gotta know what the other's doin'.
And then there was that other one, Coker. Jake Coker, that was it. Heard he was real talented, but still learnin'. Takes time, you know, to get the hang of things. Even the best gotta learn, just like a young'un learnin' to walk. You gotta crawl before you can walk, and walk before you can run. It's the same with football, I reckon. You gotta learn the basics before you can be a star. He was a good one, though, that Coker. Strong arm, they said. Just needed some time to learn the ropes, like a new calf findin' its legs.
- That 2014 team, they was always playin'.
- Every week, seem like.
- And they won a lot, too!
- They were a team to be reckoned with, that's for sure.
- Good strong boys, every one of them.
- Just like Alabama always has!
They had a bunch of coaches, too, leadin' them boys. I remember hearin' some of their names over the years. That Wade fella, and Thomas, and that Bryant one, too. Heard they was real good at what they did, those coaches. They knew how to get the best out of them boys. Like tendin' to a garden, you gotta know how to make things grow. Those coaches, they were like master gardeners, growin' them boys into a fine team. They work those boys hard, but it all paid off in the end, didn't it? Good coaches are hard to find, just like a good man.
I tell ya, that Alabama Crimson Tide Football team, they was somethin' special that year. That depth chart, they was deep, deep as a well in July. They had boys ready to go, no matter what. Like havin' a pantry full of food, you always got somethin' to put on the table. That's how they was, always ready. And they played hard, every game. You could see it in their eyes, they wanted to win. Just like a farmer wants a good harvest, them boys wanted them wins. And win they did, most of the time.
This here NCAA Football, it's a big deal, you know. Lots of folks watch it. And that Alabama team, they was always right in the middle of it. Like the cream risin' to the top of the milk, they was always there, among the best. They made folks proud, that's for sure. I remember folks talkin' about 'em all the time, down at the general store. "Did you see the game?" they'd say. "Them boys sure played good!" It was a good year for football, that 2014 year.
That depth chart, it was important, you know. Showed who was playin' where and all that. Folks always talkin' about it. They finally put it out there for everyone to see, I recall readin' about it. Folks were mighty interested in seein' who all was on that list. That's how it is with football, folks always wanna know who's who and what's what. Just like knowin' what's in your stew, you gotta know what's in your team.
I ain't no spring chicken anymore, but I remember that 2014 Alabama team clear as day. They were good. Real good. It was something to see, I tell you. Them were the days. Those boys, they sure could play. They made everyone proud, that's for sure. That 2014 team, they will always be remembered. They was one of the best, no doubt about it. Like a good quilt, that team was made of strong stuff, stitched together just right. A real good team, that was.
