Just sitting in stands watching a football game. And parking out at Lake Lurleen camping and having some fun
Hard for me to narrow it down on offense and pick one spot or position... I think the WR's as a whole are going to surprise some people, so I'll say I'm excited about their potential.

I'm excited to see Justice Haynes get a large opportunity to showcase his skills.

If we speaking of players.
Milroe New offense that should fit him perfectly.

Misspelled "is."
Power. Speed. And a lot of different things they can do out of the backfield. Gonna be a fun group to watch this season.

@Kirk Van de Graaff sort of funny this thread comes up. I was talking about Rogers just within the last few days.
You are a DC. You've prepared for Dear all week. And then, on third down, Rogers.
It's going to scramble some brains.

It'l be a top 20 defense. Probably higher.
That’s what I’m really interested in!!!!

I can't be excited about one position group only. I want to see all play in unison and stomp some mud holes. I am hoping and
believing that CKD and his staff will have us prepared to play BAMA ball the way we have gotten used to. ROLL TIDE

Thinking our sack numbers go up a bunch! We may see an interior DL lead the team if not be 2nd or 3rd on the team due to blitz packages and miscommunication from opposing OL because of where Wommack likes to send his guys.
@mando I think the missed tackles in Spring can be contributed to the Spring schedule ( 2-3 days in shells, week of for Spring Break, then some full pad practices, and maybe more “thud” practices to limit injuries). Being on a regimented practice schedule weekly in preparation for their scrimmages and then games leads to better technique.

I heard concern being expressed on Marvin Constant’s podcast about how well the 4-2-5 holds up against the Ace or 22 personnel from a physical running team. I know Saban was a believer in putting 3 big dudes between the OTs against the 2-TE formations from physical offenses. I’m a little concerned about reducing it down to 2.

Not having a few starters, in the middle, for the spring game ...

They'll see single back from an Ace set...UGA, is one example. I can't think of a team that runs the 22.

I thought 22 personnel meant 2 TE, 2 RB. Am I wrong?
Regardless my general point is the 4-2-5 reduces the number of big DL trying to control the gaps between the OTs from Saban’s “regular” 3-4. I remember when Urban and UF came to Tuscaloosa in 2010, he used 5 DL instead of his usual 4 to try to limit Mark and Trent, to much success I might add. Might we do something similar, where we selectively use 5 DL against particular offenses?
