They'll get plenty of conversation between drives via the coms system. But they can't have the direct communication through the helmet like others mentioned.

The tradeoff is that Rees is more comfortable calling better plays for Milroe (or any QB) by being up high in the box seeing what the D is doing. Hopefully that will lead to better QB play and better play by the offense as a whole.

Yep, I can definitely see how the birds eye view is nice for an offensive coordinator.

Nope. They have a phone on the sidelines.

Why do you think Saban ever wanted Kiffin on the sidelines?

Why do you think Saban ever wanted Kiffin on the sidelines?

You're not making a good argument. he's always been on the sideline.. and Saban has always said that he leaves it up to assistant coaches. .....

Applewhite, Mac, and Nuss all were in the box during games until Kiffin was hired and that move was largely due to Blake and the areas he struggled.

If I'm not mistaken, Kiffin's move to the field was the first time it had happened under a Saban led staff: including LSU, MSU, and Toledo.

I don't see this as a big deal: whether Steele or Rees is on the field versus the box. I do think the lines of communication are a big deal. IE: With Steele and Bala in the box, to whom are they relaying the calls?

Neither do I. I actually prefer it.

They do have analysts that holds up signs or scout QBs that relays the play calls to the players on the field.

I think the RB coach Gillisperie and Robinson has the best relationship with players so they know how to communicate with players. I noticed new coaches is up in booth along with Joe Cox. Rest have relationships with players.

Man, not a shot at Marshall, but out of all our linebackers they let a transfer come in andtake a spot? Figured Jihaad Campbell would have stepped up.

To be clear, I didn't get that from anyone, just pure speculation and guesses from me.

Looks good, IMO.

Would add H-Back (Niblack or Outz).

Would put Campbell or Marshall at WLB.

Would put Downs at SS, Moore at Star, Key at FS. Downs will play early and often, Smith too when he eventually returns.

He's not 100% right now, but I'd bet he ends up starting when he is. But, this is good news that Marshall is doing this well.

Right. I took it as that. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, ha ha.

Booker has been taking quite a few reps at LG the last several days with TFerg and Dalcourt fighting for the RG spot.

Maybe T Rob

Am I wrong thinking Arnold would be a better Free Safety over Corner?

Am I also wrong in thinking Earl Little Jr. was a corner?

If history holds true we'll see some shuffling in the secondary starters much like we see with the offensive line in camps.
