This is Bama best overall coaching staff since perhaps 2015. Although Saban was the GOAT, the offense had gotten stale since Kiffin/Sark and teams had figured out how to exploit his Defensive Secondary coverages.

[@lyndonyoung6756]

2017 and 2018 were pretty good staffs.

All facts

[@jimmcewen9351]

Majority of heisman voters didn’t watch 3 Bama games last year, had they watched first halves against ole miss and Tennessee or the 9 straight incompletions against a bad Arkansas team to give them a chance to beat us, they wouldn’t have given him a vote. In spring game he was looking for deep ball every play, it’s why he won’t be consistent in this offense

[@jameswinslett5515]

So with Jalen Milroes legs. His throwing game, especially the deep ball. The running backs are gonna go off. And God knows what else Kalen has cooked up with wide receiver runs and screens etc. defenses are gonna have no clue what hit them. And He knows that so he just ran some basic vanilla offense and defense on the A day

[@donnaleighjenkins4952]

Yep, you are right! LANK!! ROLL TIDE!!

[@b-rad2699]

CKD has already said they look at the talent and based on what they’re good at they develop the offense around their skill set…if his offense can do that, you’re right they have the talent…they just need to maximize their individual skills

[@b-rad2699]

Oh and I’m more concerned with the defense but I figured it was going to be a work in progress…

Jalen Milroe had the most passing touchdowns in a first home start in UA history but y’all still say he “can’t throw” he graded at a top 10 efficient passer was 5th or 6th in heisman voting and a returning top 5 heisman candidate 36-6 TD-Int ratio undefeated against SEC teams and won SEC championships that’s the thing with you haters you ignore the numerous amount of positives nd great plays he’s made y’all only want to do is focus on one or two weaknesses that he’s obviously working to get better at

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

There can be truths from opposing arguments. All you listed is correct, yet it's also the case that he was mediocre at intermediate passing, which is a major component to being a competent passer.

[@lisafitsu8026]

Exactly! Race? Would he be getting such hate if he was white?

[@noidea3177]

Bunch of people out here trying to keep Alabama down by playing Milroe!

[@keving3982]

truth!

[@lyndonyoung6756]

Washington’s offense relied on hitting loads of explosive shot plays downfield one on one. Jalen milroe’s best throws were usually his deep balls. To get these one on one’s downfield Washington ran the ball and threw quick screens or quick hitting passing plays to force the defense into putting more players in the box. Once the defense did this they took shots downfield. It forces defenses onto a double edged sword. Do you stop the run and the quick easy passes or do you keep your safeties deep and protect yourself from big plays? This allows the run game to become dominate and make big plays of its own. Milroe will be great in this system and the Alabama offense will be great too. It might not be as good as a passing offense as Washington was because they don’t have as good receivers as Washington did but they will be a better running offense because milroe’s legs will be a huge advantage.

[@dailydaytrades]

The people who doubt Milroe are crazy. Fkin Tommy used 0% of his potential last year. The only game they let him play (LSU) he put up 5 TDs.

[@user-ss1lk1gh1y]

i see so much potential in jalen. the thing abt him tho is his decision making. at times it's amazing but also there are multiple people to be thrown to. i understand that it's hard to move your eyes while being chased by 500lb men but my hopes are big and hopefully better decisions and more intermediate passes

[@Phillip-xi2cq]

Alabama had a Horrible Pass protecting Oline last year. That is what caused most of his problems.

[@dmac42]

@@Phillip-xi2cq what caused most of his problems are his inability to read defenses, not panic in the pocket and throw an accurate pass Other than those things, he’s not horrible. .

[@Fulcrum205]

​@dmac42 saying stuff like that sounds so stupid. Unless you are in the QB room you don't know what the read is on a particular play. Some of those "bad reads" are automatic adjustments based on pre-snap alignment. As far as accuracy he has shown he can throw darts almost anywhere on the field. He has room to improve but the dude can do things throwing a football that very very few players can do. Tommy Rees wasted half the season trying to run some sort of Bill Walsh bullshit passing game. If he came out and actually adjusted his scheme to what Milroe does best he probably isn't a tight ends coach in Cleveland and Milroe might have a Heisman.

[@dmac42]

@@Fulcrum205 Milroe doesn’t have a chance of winning a Heisman unless they let him do a Lamar Jackson in which Alabama will not win an Nashville championship and would be lucky to win the SEC Alabama played Georgia, five times last year Georgia would beat them four and I’m an Alabama fan

These ppl be hating on Milroe so hard! And will never admit they were wrong when they did it last year! But hey some ppl never learn. I posted all the hate last year on my timeline after we made the playoffs! Gone do the same this year.🤦🏾‍♂️

[@stevenm.6886]

Bama receivers have not been getting open,they had no scheme to get them open. I can’t wait to see if things are better this year

[@brianfloyd2279]

I think if DeBoer's system clicks wight he players our run game should be substantially better...and if the run game can keep the chains moving it will open up the field for passing attacks. Last year before the season I said Bama wouldn't have a 1k rusher. This season, we could have two eclipse 1k, depending on how much Milroe runs the ball. Butni think Milroe will be limited to about 10 designed run plays for himself, and maybe a couple he can't find an open receiver, so he may run the ball about 10 to 15 times per game. The other backs, Justice and Jam, will be around 15 or 20 each on average, and at 5 yards per carry they'll average 75 to 100 yards per game each. If Milroe can stay efficient at around 65% and 200 yards per game passing with about 50 to 75 yards rushing, we should average prolly 450 yards per game of offense. As for the schedule, we have a very tough November. I can see Bama with one loss heading to the lsu game. From there what we do between playing at OU and then having what I think will be an extremely better AU team, finishing 10-2 is probably the upper end of our team, but I could see a 9-3 in DeBoer's first season. As for down the road, will this be the most talented team of DeBoer's tenure? Can he recruit at an elite level like Ryan Day and Kirby Smart? I am afraid Deboer wins a title woth9n his first 4 or 5 years but could become a Mark Richt type coach where he gets close every year. I hope I am wrong. He just hasn't been at a program longer than a few years to prove he can recruit to sustain. I think he can, I just don't have the history to justify saying so. Also, there is the NIL stuff going on where ncaa went to court last week. This will determine a lot in the coming years.

At the end of the day I trust coach DeBoer's decision. He has a great offensive mind and I think they will be fine. I am more concerned about our defense. I hope they surprise me and play to the caliber we are used to seeing Bama play. Roll Tide!

[@christopherdunlap7028]

Vince Young couldn't throw consistently in college...until he could. It takes time for the game to come a player. He improved massively through the season, but he had a few flaws that got highlighted. If he can fix those few flaws...watch out.

This guy is a great quarterback these people don’t know football he’s an outstanding passer that old label on black quarterback yall did in the past is over the boy is special

[@noidea3177]

As soon as you mentioned race you lost the argument. 0/10 points on the victimhood scale.

[@mnshws12]

Ok, let’s be honest! Race has nothing to do with the ability to be labeled a great QB. Tua and Bryce were great! Milroe was OK, but nowhere close to a good QB. His legs made him special, not his reading the D, checking down or throwing the 10-15 yard down the middle throw. Bond and Niblack left because they knew Milroe was not going to make them look great. Milroe has improved, but so has Simpson. Simpson is the much better passer, and Milroe is the much better runner. Chose your QB, not based on race.

[@dallencain2872]

Nah but him playing for Bama is why yall hating lol he was so raw last year with a DEFENSIVE minded coach and he was 7 points away from a natty appearance no one played michigan as close but Ohio St and that game can be washed with the rivalry the kid can sling it he's improved immensely and changed his throwing motion to accommodate for those mid to short throws he was able to put the ball where he need he just had too much zip and made it hard to catch the change he made will fix that kid throws for 70 plus % this year 4k pass yards and 1100 ground yards and yall can keep hating keep feeding him keep doubting him you'll see LANKKKKKK ROLL TIDEEEEE BE MAD

Jalen is not a good passer 🤣

[@mnshws12]

@@dallencain2872 you realize that Milroe is a true senior, but technically a redshirt Junior. And you are telling me he was raw last year, well how long does it take to be a good QB. He was not and still is not accurate. He has improved a lot since last year, and even his throwing motion has improved. Interesting, it never improved last year. Wonder if he is hearing footsteps. SEC defenses will rush 4 or 5 and make him think fast and unload. We will see how he handles that in this coming year.
