We talk about inconsistency on the line last year, and there WAS inconsistency, yet we still managed to have a 1,000 yard rusher, a 900 yard rusher, and 800 yard rusher, and a 500 yard rusher. That's pretty remarkable. If we improve even a LITTLE bit, we are going to hurt people.
Agreed...that group was special...a former college football player & friend (who is not a Bama fan) said it was the best OL he had ever seen.
That's what worries me about Saban's tendency to continuing experimenting along the line.
Agree and we are going to hurt people. We are going to be better at RG than we were last year and the OL as a whole will be better IMO. We are going to be scary good on offense this year and will break a bunch of records.
The worst thing about it is that it sometimes takes on a bit of an air of desperation...
Yeah you're right about that. That's what makes me think it's more about pass protect and blocking the right guy versus blocking the run. I don't know.
That`s absolutely terrific news IMO. The rotation can only be helped, even if he doesn`t start. Looks like lots of meaningful snaps for Raekwon this year.
I think this year it could be more about the rotation, like it was in 2015, where we had a ton of DL who all took meaningful snaps, versus 2016 where our rotation was a bit more limited. In 15 we would sometimes sub out the entire DL and there wasn't a huge dropoff. I'm optimistic we could have depth close to that again.
Just a thought, but it could be to light a fire under Buggs.
Don't know about that. Davis is the truth. It's good competition though. I hope it does light that fire though if it needs lighting.
