Other than the Saban talent he inherited, we never had great line play under Miles. It was always the weakest unit on the team.

This is one of the most embarrassingly bad and bone-headed comments that I’ve ever seen on here.

We puts tons of offensive and defensive line talent into the NFL during Miles’ time here. That’s why his teams were so physical.

The 2011 defensive line was constructed entirely by Miles, and it was arguably the best one in program history.

Well, it was pointed out that QB was worse, but I’ll die on the second worse hill. I’ve sorted the data on the percentage of OL that made it to the NFL under Miles and it is the lowest on the team, other than QBs, which I never even considered (along with punters and kickers).

We put a high percentage of starters in the NFL at WR, RB, DL, LB, DB. At OL we usually started about one NFL talent, two guys who would be second string at Bama, and two guys who were Vandy level.
