Who replaces Metchie?

[Bama Lee]

I am a little concerned when we lose such a large cog in our offensive machine. Which of the freshman/ sophomores will step up? Will it be a combo of guys to fill that one void? How will this change our offense?

 

[uafanataum]

Utilize Jahleel Billingsley more in the passing game rather than just blocking.

 

[Cruloc]

I think we will see a combo of Billingsley/Holden/Brooks. I think Brooks will see this as a huge opportunity and take advantage.

 

[oskie]

In my opinion, Holden and Brooks are more than capable of stepping up.

i hope so. the more i watch the replay of that td catch vs the barn, the more unbelievable that catch is

 

[Bama Lee]

It would be kind of cool to see us run an Ace Package in the pistol with a healthy B-Rob. Using Latu and Billingsley could be very interesting

 

[Ledsteplin]

I think it might be something like this:

Holden/Hall
Williams/Brooks
Bolden/Earle

Billingsley and Latu at TE.

What’s the deal on Agiye Hall? I thought we would see him much more than we have.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

If used right (because we saw it last season) Billingsley can be a beast to deal with for defenses. Big as a TE but has enough WR traits to be able to be relied upon as a consistent viable target.

Saban talked about Agiye Hall earlier this year. It was in the same vane in relation to Billingsley not getting early playing time. Not doing the things that they need to.... classroom, being on time, and being responsible.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

We have a lot to replace a body. I’m more worried about experience.
Brooks
Holden
Latu
Billingsley
Bolden

In other words, we will be fine.

Do not be concerned. Holden, Brooks and Leary will step up.

For those wondering, don't expect Hall to play.

Billingsley would be a great option against Cincy .. IJS.

Probably will, since Metchie is out. My guess is Holden and Hall in Metchie's spot.

 

[Windsortide]

I was thinking Holden but It may be Brooks. Hoping we will have Earl back and up to speed!

Hall has played a little since then. Maybe he's doing better in those regards. We'll see.

 

[bamadwain]

You just don't replace a guy like metchie just hoping someone or somebody's can take up the slack and take pressure off Williams. As far as Hall is concerned I believe he's done and hits the portal as soon as season is over, he is very talented but something not clicking right now hope it does for the young man but I believe it'll be some where else

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Billingsley should theoretically have a huge game vs Cincy but the dude just hasn't looked right. Feels like he's dropped a lot of balls this year. Cincy would be the perfect game for that to change though.

To answer the OP question I think Brooks might have a coming out party. Holden will get some reps too

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

The speedy kids will play. Metchie is more physical and bulky than the speedsters. Billingsley is the more physical option. I keep thinking Javon Baker is going to step up.

He had some big catches vs. Georgia and second half vs. Auburn. I'm hoping something has clicked with him. Billingsley, that is.
