Thinks the Oline will be the strength of the offense. Thinks there is a lot of talent and experience in that group


We heard this every year from Miles. I'm just ready to see another dominant line that can move Alabama.

Orgeron is letting the coaches actually coach. We should see improvements across the board this season other than on defense. Gonna be hard to replicate what we saw last year.

I think you have to take the off-season comments of Les and throw them out the window. We have a new regime in town so the comments need to be taken in a different light.

Not saying that because CEO and CMC say it that it means it's true, just saying that just because CLM routinely lied to us doesn't necessarily mean this coaching staff is doing the same.

I'd also like to note that the old offensive system wasn't very Oline friendly. It's much harder for a lineman to block guys that know what you are doing.

Again not saying that it is a definite but I choose to believe that a system that confuses the defense will help our Oline play at a higher level.

Should be different if we have a more complete offense, starting with the play calling and passing game. It's harder to get as much push from the line when it's 5 vs 8 every play. Get those defenders out of the box and the blocking will be fine.

You can't hold the sins of a previous coach against the new coach.

If you silly people haven't missed coach Miles you will ,it starts at and having a plan executed over a number of years ,you people don't know a darn thing about our new coaches ,except you are supporting them . That's a great thing but the first two games we lose in a row ,you will be dragging their name and LSU s recruiting in the mud , hollering for the next genius coaches !

Most teams won't move Alabama's front. You have to mix up the plays. Keep them on their heels, guessing, and having to cover sideline to sideline.

Our problem in the past was trying to constantly test the interior (tackle to tackle).

That ain't gonna work my friend against 300 lb., 5 star linemen, and 250 lb., 5 star linebackers.

You gotta run around those guys from time to time. Make em chase you. Run mis-direction, and connect on short passes to the RB's and TE's.

You ain't beating Bama very often by trying to play smash mouth football.

Been a real long time since we had a dominant OL that can move Alabama.

Will reserve judgement until after Fall practice to see if any of the TF's can crack the starting 5. The OL has been disappointing for the last 5 years or so. (2012-2016) When the season gets into the SEC meat, they have been getting dominated and have too many breakdowns at crunch time.

Why is that going to suddenly change in 2017? (With Pocic gone to boot)
