Harris has thrown exactly 0 interceptions in 2015. I wouldn't exactly call that careless. He is no Tom Brady. Very few are, considering he's one of the greatest qb's to ever play, so comparing a first year starter to him is a little unrealistic.
Anyways, Coker is easily the worst quarterback Saban has had. Bama's entire offense is Derrick Henry.
Yeah, but to say that LSU is a full blown legitimate passing threat is a little much as well. We simply don't put the ball in the air enough to be considered that.
@ Miss. State - 9/14, 71 yards, 0/0
Auburn - 12/17, 74 yards, 1/0
@ Syracuse - 8/16, 157 yards, 1/0
E. Michigan - 4/14, 80 yards, 0/0
South Carolina - 18/28, 228, 2/0
Florida - 13/19, 202, 2/0
Western Kentucky - 11/20, 286 yards, 3/0
Totaling: 75/129, 1098 yards, 9/0.
Harris has had three games where he was at 80 or less yards. It just points to inconsistency. LSU's allowing him to throw more as of late. That may have to do with teams putting 8 and sometimes 9 in the box to slow down Fournette.

It's a really good offense when the OL is pass protecting. They do fine run blocking, its pass protection where they struggle, especially on the edges.

Capable offense. Bama fans bitch too much about Kiffen not running Henry enough.
Offense is relatively conservative with a lot of running and short passes. Doesn't take many shots downfield. Could probably score more if they went down field more often, but they shouldnt. It's riskier and with Bamas defense, their offense is perfect the way it is with the ball control through the run and short to intermediate passing game.

The pattern in those stats is that he has gotten better in every game, and has emerged as a threat as Miles has trusted him more, especially against a tough opponent in Florida.

Hot garbage. Henry is consistently good at falling forward though. He'll grind out some 1st downs vs LSU but coker will fail.

I agree. Bama is basically, conceptually, what auburn was supposed to be this year; just with offense and defense flipped. Strong defense with a serviceable offense.

Penalties. No pass protection. Negative plays. Otherwise excellent.

We've actually attempted to go down field quite often thus season, but many times the OL didn't give Coker time. Ridley has gotten behind the safeties two weeks in a row, but Coker was sacked both times.

Just an honest opinion.
Your front 7 is going to keep you in almost any game and your back end guys are better than last year.
Henry is a boss.
This has been a tough season as an AU fan, but I enjoy football watching in general and it is still entertaining.

From what I've seen, I just don't think Coker is very good. I think he's the piece holding the team back.
Posted on 10/25/15 at 11:19 am to LukeSidewalker
Offensive line seems to have occasional lapses in pass protection, beyond that I don't know if it's a factor of Choker being a bit limited with his field vision or what, but it seems like the pass plays gets a bit predictable (getting it to Ridley). Still, sitting where I am as a Georgia fan I would take these problems all day every day.

1. Coker is now in the top 1/3 of QB's in the conference (Dak and Kelly are the only 2 clearly better to me). Has rapidly become more comfortable with what he's asked to do. OTOH he's not a quick decision maker and has fallen in love with his scrambling deep in the back field. He's been lucky he hasn't lost an extra 200 yards so far on some of these winding scrambles backwards he does.
2. our OL has made Arkansas and Tennessee look like they're full of NFL draft picks at times. We're getting waaay to much penetration through the line. Cam Robinson has been getting abused off the edge.
3. we are very thin at RB right now. Henry is carrying the ball a lot more then what we've done in the past. We haven't shown we have a serviceable #2 to date
4. Kenyon Drake has disappeared as a weapon.
5. Our WR/TE group is real solid. Ridley and Stewart have been fantastic. Mullaney has been a bigger addition then expected. OJ Howard (TE) has been rediscovered.

Best friend? Just kidding. Auburn will turn it around. I was saying before the season how I thought Sean White would be the truth and evenwith all those dropped passes he still had yall in position to win in the end Saturday. He will be a star at Auburn in the future imo.

Henry's is impressive. Coker is above average. Oline is shaky. Ridley is a stud.
