From the outside, Alabama football players put on a show Saturday. Ryan Williams became a superstar in the nationally televised win over Georgia, snagging a circus catch to win the game.

But on the sideline, even with the Tide up big early, wideouts coach JaMarcus Shephard still wasn’t pleased.

“I did see one fan Tweet out, you know, ‘We’re up 28 and coach Shephard’s still on the guys,’” Shephard told reporters Wednesday. “You’re dangone right. Because there’s an expectation that everything we do on that football field is becoming of what we expect them to do on Saturdays.”

Now, Shephard and the rest of Alabama’s staff are trying to move the team onto Vanderbilt. Director of player development Josh Chapman employed a Nick Saban tactic on Monday, setting up rat traps around UA’s facility to remind players of the upcoming trap game.

According to Shephard, lingering on the Georgia performance isn’t an option.

“They don’t have a choice,” the coach said. “I hate to say this, and this may sound terrible, but this is not a democracy, OK? Alright, we’re gonna move on to Vanderbilt. Nobody cares about what you did before. It is the epitome of going 1-0, which our head football coach asks us every day. ‘Hey, go 1-0.’ So there’s no democracy about going 1-0. That’s what we’re going to do.”

According to Shephard, players were taking the order to heart. However, he playfully jabbed at reporters.

“I mean this by no means in a negative way: Y’all make it a lot harder, just because you’re asking questions about those things from the past,” Shephard said. “Again, it’s the 24-hour rule, and then our guys gotta move one. So if you don’t get them in those first 24 hours, they shouldn’t be talking about it, let’s move one.”

After the Georgia game, even with what looked to be a solid performance by his group, he pointed out certain aspects of the game were “Extremely bad.”

“We to to make sure we play error free as far as just knowledge of what the playbook is supposed to be like and what we’re supposed to do,” Shephard said. “Route depth and definition. There’s a lot of things that happened in that game that from the naked eye, most of you won’t recognize that those things occurred and were not good and were not successful.”

Alabama and Vanderbilt are scheduled to kick off at 3:15 p.m. CT Saturday in Nashville. The game will be aired on the SEC Network.
