There seems to be a lot of buzz about which QB is better, to the point where there seems to be 2 "camps" emerging: The Milroe crowd and the Simpson crowd. I know that is stating the obvious. I said after the spring that Ty Simpson was the QB and the roster. I continue to believe that due to a few factors that include taking care of the ball, ball velocity, underneath accuracy, quick release, and being comfortable in the pocket. Milroe has a cannon and some serious wheels. wSome are ready to blame Rees. There is not a whole lot you can call schematically when you are getting whipped up front-screens, maybe...
However, none of this makes a difference. It is the equivalent of arguing about what music the band should play as the Titantic went down. It makes no sense to me. Until we get the guys up front sorted out, It really doesn't matter who is one and two. If we are not able to run the ball, we can't win period, at least not in the SEC. Amari, Jaylen, Devonta, Jameson, Metchie, are not in that locker room. We cannot run by people. We have to have some way of establishing playaction. Right now, we don't. Roydell ran the ball extremely hard, but he was bringing his own block with him. This could be the worst o-line I have seen in Saban's tenure. Correction, it is the worst I have seen. They are big and soft, just like a pack of Angel Soft. They don't have to stay that way, but they are the only ones in control of that. I don't think they want to be that way, either. Whether it is coaching, attitude, schematics or S&C, something has to change. I don't care if they go back to a gap scheme or pin and pull. Do something to play to the strengths of 1700 lbs. of beef that you have up front. Just my honest opinion.
