Cousin of Armchair QB.



Based on what Saban said yesterday in his presser I'm thinking we do see another shift with Simpson getting the start and likely Milroe as his backup.

Buchner pulled a Barnett: looked good and consistent in practices and when the lights came on his went off. His feet made Happy Meal's jealous.
 
Needs to be a two QB system between Ty and Milroe. Play whichever QB is best suited for the situation and have designed plays to move the pocket. Why is Alabama the only program right now that does nothing to alleviate pressure from the rush? Why do the TEs not check the DEs? No rolls outs? No RBs to the flat? Just line up and drop back and get sacked. It's maddening.
 
I refer to all of the coaching before the game as well, but it’s JMO.
We saw some of that coaching in the second half: Simpson, after starting 0-4 and continually getting beaten up did a good job holding his composure together. No one likes going into game four still trying to get a feel for how the team is headed: been there before.
 
If the quarterback isn't getting into a rhythm how can the play caller?

That said I still believe the best set for this offense is the single back, two tight end approach. I'd like to see more.
We need the O-line to get better, like you said on here, Booker being out hurt, hopefully he's back Saturday to play. With the QB situation still in doubt, we need our identity to be a run first, downhill offense. That will help whoever the QB is significantly. There's no reason we can't either, we have the talent, and the depth to do it. This has to be the week where the problems get addressed, and solved.... cannot have another performance like yesterday against Ole Miss. Defense played really well yesterday (aside from a few missed tackles, and busted plays while pass rushing), if it wasn't for them getting stops, we likely would've lost yesterday. I'm glad we didn't start SEC play yesterday, because we would've almost certainly lost the game playing like that.
