Three questions for Saban at Media Days

Chukker Veteran said:

Gribble has an article up this morning going over the most likely questions Saban will get during the Media Days interviews. The writer poses three questions:

How's Coker coming along?
Is the defense going to be able to contain the fast paced offenses this season?
Will Bama bounce back to the title hunt after the late season disappointments?

The writer then asks if there are other questions out there he didn't cover.

It seemed to me his article was well-suited for a discussion board, so I'm posting it. Sometimes a thread like this will catch on, other times it quickly drops to the bottom of the page. It's always interesting to see what topics catch the board's attention.

Not coincidentally, Al.com picks Coker as the one person who will have the most say over the success of Alabama's season, even more so than Saban. No pressure, no pressure at all.

I'm trying to figure out how to give the thread starter a dislike because he doesn't seem to understand the plural of the word question.

Oh wait, it's me. Never mind...

Back to the point of the thread...

Maybe somebody could ask him if Kiffin's offense will have any faster pace than we have had the past few years. I know we are expected to alter our defense to deal with the fast tempo game, I'm just wondering if the fast pace will also have an effect on our offensive tempo.

This is a scary thought for anybody playing QB at Alabama.

"With a surplus of talent at running back, an offensive line that should be just as good as it was in 2013,"

I remember Danielson making a point last year on one of his radio bits before we played A&M, he was talking about how more plays in a game should benefit Bama. His point was that Bama has superior players to most teams and that the more plays that are snapped in a game the more likely that the odds and talent will win out and the better team will win. Essentially less plays allows for a fluke or lucky play to have more impact on the game.

That point made a lot of sense to me and I sometimes do wish that we ran more hurry up to the field. Over the last few years there have been times when we have had the defense scrambling and it's almost like we wait for them to get set out of some sort of respect. I'm not saying that is what is actually occuring but it really did seem like it sometimes.

To the main point I would ask him about our kicking/punting game. I would ask him if he thought the team was paying attention to detail at near the level that he expects. I would also ask him what the coaches have done differently to address the issue that was mentioned during this offseason of the coaches not have the close connection to players that they had in years past.

This writer needs to get ready to get insulted by Coach S.
Pretty dumb questions if you ask me.
"How is Coker coming along"?
The coaches aren't even allowed to coach him yet, by NCAA rules.
Give me a break.
