re: Tide Football Thread in honor of TidalSurge

Good point. I'm not a connoisseur by any means, and that's an understatement (to put it mildly), but my guess would be yes:

1. If it's true that KDB's system is about making use of the strength of the position groups, then we have a running back room that appears to be loaded with talent. There's talent among the receivers as well, but they may need some time to develop and we don't know who will be elite (Williams will be, but when). Hopefully, one of the running backs is ready to be the next great Bama RB right out of the gate.

2. Also, I have no idea how complicated KDB's offensive system is to learn. Perhaps the run game is easier and quicker to learn and implement. Combined with the strength of the RBs that might be a reason to favor a run-heavy offense (at least for most or all of KDB's first year).

3. It is no secret that our O-line needs work. That's another understatement. The new O-line coach sounds like a hard-nosed old school type of guy so I'm cautiously optimistic. Also here, it may be easier for those players to get coached up and it may be more simple for the new O-line to learn and master a run-blocking scheme first than a pass-blocking scheme.
(I would make them watch youtube vids all day of the great Dallas O-lines of the nineties: Allen, Williams, Newton, Tuinei, Stepnoski, Gesek, Gogan)

4. Finally, who will be the quarterback? Will it be Milroe and will he be able to take it to the next level as a passer? Or will he max out as the Alabama version of Jalen Hurts and 'force' KDB to rely on the run early on?
