We had far too many sacks, with open receivers that Milroe never looked at. He generally looked at the right side of the field for throws. He generally looked at the right side for runs...
Well, with Jalen's skill set, they'd surely want to add a new wrinkle or two.
Last year, our offense in 8 of the 14 games Bama played scored 27 points or less. In two of those eight games, Bama lost. If the defense is not up to last year's standards, the Bama offense will need to win some shootouts if they plan on making the playoffs. I just don't see CKD simplifying the offense to fit one QB if he can't make all the reads. It's either you step up your game or someone else starts. That applies to all positions.
JM will not be the starting quarterback here next year. How’s that for a wrinkle?
He sees more of the field than you give him credit for. His problem is holding out for his primary target. Then holds too long. He needs to throw to someone else, when his man is not open. And that's coachable.
With all the recruiting, transfers, and assessing team personnel needs, do you not think CKD and CRG have already taken a good look at Jalen Milroe as starting QB in their offense? And that if he is definitely not "the guy" to run the offense, then they would have already made that clear to him, and that the portal would be in his best interests?
I know it's an incredibly small sample size, but I think Lonergan has a real shot. As a true freshman in the A-Day game he came across as poised and a good decision maker. If he has developed at all I think he can make a run at it.
No, I do not think they are that stupid. They saw what happened last year, too.
Only if it's adding a wrinkle, meaning the stuff that really makes the offense work is functional. I can't see them adding something at the expense of having to take away 90 percent of what the offense does if he can't make the initial reads.
That's not it at all. Way to many times the FIRST read is WIDE open and open early, but the ball rarely makes it out there may be a ton of causes, but the net is the ball does go where it's supposed to go.
Exactly what B1G said, plus I'm sure the coaches told all the guys this is what we plan to run, and what you'll need to be able to do to be successful. The coaches should make sure everyone gets to prove what they can do thru spring...
I'm worried about the D also. We lost a lot of starters and some very key depth components that likely would have had a shot at starting this year. I think the o is going to have to extert some control of the game, and be able to consistenly keep drives moving for us to be successful
I've read plenty of your posts and was making a general statement of my opinion based on your comment.
We will probably probably have a good feel after the spring when we see who is in the h portal. The D scares me also.
Do you really think those coaches think JM's passing from last year is good enough to be the QB they want next year???
Agreed, but you had no running game with Young which meant that it was all on him. Have to be able to run the ball.
