I understand that our first team defense is going to be good, and when Jennings comes back and the young db's are all there and have some time we should be even better, and also that Jalen not being allowed to run is going to skew the impression of what we saw Saturday, but with Tua's injury and Jalen's, yeah, I'll say it, struggles, in a spring game, how do you feel now?
Obviously Mac has some talent, and his 'game' plays more along the lines of what I'd think a Locksley/Enos offense will look like (as dictated by the Man), but I can't help but feeling that we missed on Minshew and wish the guy had stuck with his commitment to Alabama. If Minshew was on board it wouldn't really matter if Jalen leaves, would it? A trio of Tua, Minshew and Mac I'd feel comfortable with.
There is a reason we were actively searching for a 4th guy who could play in more of a pro style offense. I just don't see Jalen being successful in an offense where he needs to make reads and fire the ball within 3 seconds. On the other hand, now I am scared to death he WILL leave and make good on dad's threat, because how do you make it through a championship season with just two guys, and I don't think we can rely on a walk on to play.
What do you think?
