Around SBN: Josh Hamilton's Unique Public Statement On His Addiction

Rebel of the Week Poll

It might be a little difficult to look back on Week 1 with any sense of "achievement."  But, just like we did in 2009, we will offer you a set of Rebels who did well in the previous weekend.  Even when, as whole, the team did everything far short of "barely okay," there are some individual bright spots that should give us some indicia of confidence heading into the Tulane game.  Specifically:

Nathan Stanley threw good looking passes, for the most part.  The offense looked pretty crisp with Stanley at the helm, and the biggest mix-up with Stanley at the helm was the fumble during his third possession.

Jeremiah Masoli showed that he works pretty well in the red zone.

Brandon Bolden had 100+ yards on the ground.

Bryson Rose made both mid-range field goals.

An Damien Jackson led the league in tackles.

I can't vote for Damien Jackson

because he was the one who got beat and let the receiver behind him in the endzone on the 4th and 15 heave in OT. Except for that huge mishap, though, I thought he had an excellent game.

Jackson

Other than THAT, how’d you like the show, Mrs. Lincoln?

I had to go with Bolden.

He had no blocking to speak of for half the game and still picked up over 100 yards rushing.

Stanley

Looked better in this game than Snead did at anytime last year

Bolden

Yes Stanley had 3 TDs. Very nice strikes. But I have to believe the mediocre 2ndary might have something to do with it. Hey, at least he didn’t over throw anyone in the flat. cough snead cough cough… But Bolden had 100+ yards while having to bounce the ball outside every single run because our o-line couldn’t move some shitty ass d line around. I think that’s gonna be a real problem in the future. Bolden FTW.

yes but that was more of a fluke

he was going down for a sack and the ball hit his foot forcing the fumble. It was just random bad luck from my perspective. Plus it was early enough in the game that we could easily have recovered from it.

Hard to really blame Stanley for that.

While you’d hope he could hold onto the ball he got hit pretty fast coming away from the line. The fumble happened because the offensive line screwed up.

After the game this week,

I feel completely confident in having Stanley under center. Hopefully the coaching staff will allow him to stay on the field if he’s performing. There’s no point in playing Masoli just to play him if Stanley is leading long drives down the field.

Pig Pen this here's Rubber Duck, and I'm about to put the hammer down.

Couldn't agree more.

Honestly, when the news of Masoli’s clearance spread Friday, I wondered to myself if we should play him against JSU after basically not practicing for the past week.

Why Masoli should/will start

One unfortunate discovery of this game is how weak the new interior of our line is. Stanley did do great – with time. I don’t think he is going to have time after about October 1, maybe sooner. We can either put Masoli in now and let the team gel around him, or we can wait until we lose the Kentucky game to convince us (fans who don’t attend practice) we will have to make a switch to Masoli for SEC play. Hopefully the coaches will see this writing on the wall sooner than that.

Don't blame Mr. Jackson....he's blaming himself too much.

I like the optimism I am seeing here.

The season is not over. We have not played one down of SEC football. Do not forget that Michigan still went bowling (and beat a Tebow-quarterbacked defending national champion Florida team) after losing to Appalachian State. We will endure and prevail. Let’s keep our chins up.

I tried to explain to everyone in the rcradio podcast last wed

That even without Masoli, Stanley will be a good QB for us. He has too many positive influences on the team and staff around him that will ensure QB success or at least a QB that can proficiently manage our team. Not to toot my own horn but I also cautioned against thinking that we would just roll over this team, they have too many ex-SEC playmakers. but thats over and done with. We still are a good team but I am ashamed to be a fan based on our other fans actions or lack thereof at the game and on these boards, not because of our players or their actions. For once it is us(the fans) that are dragging our team down. We have too many fairweather fans. I expect for all other sec and national fanbases to call us out on our lack of commitment, its just part of being an Ole Miss fan. Ill always be a rebel fan even if we go 0-12. Just remember this is a marathon not a race. It aint over, not by a long shot.
