I disagree with this. An example is Wisconsin. The announcers for their games have stated they have been holding back a lot in their playbook for us. They have struggled mightily and at least from my untrained eye than didn't open anything up. I think most coaches err on the side of running what was practiced and schemed for that team that week and not running concepts that weren't part of the plan that week even in the face of a tight game cause they expect to win and their talent to win out even if it close late. I think that is why they went with the best way to fix the problems we have is to bring Pritchett and hold the refs family hostage in a basement so they stop screwing us.

I find what's lost in all this talk is that the second year starter with 3 years of experience isn't elevating his offense, and is sometimes hurting it. Very disappointing.

I felt bad about calling you out for being clueless the other day.

I later felt as though you probably need this for some reason, and I shouldn't say anything to rain on your parade, but man... you make it really hard to stay quiet.

Yesterday, after I apologized for calling you out - I read through some other thread on the board where you are pulling your usual schtick, and calling people idiots, and basically parading about like some all knowing football genius - Meanwhile, you have some of the most bizarre takes I have ever heard that clearly point to a lack of understanding of what is you are preaching.

Really hard to play nice with you my dude, but I'm trying. Seeing you cast so many stones while being 100% undeniably incorrect about so much is a tall task.

You do you though, bro.

I think this viewpoint has been made abundantly clear here and is accurate to a degree. We also have a problem of our Oline and coaching letting our QB down. Through 2 games there are a number of things to be disappointed about. The good news though is that we are 2-0 and we still have chances to improve.

This is actually his 4th year believe it or not. Last season the center was having to call all the protections, and make all the line adjustments because Milroe in his third year could not do it. It's a big part of the QB position so I'm still confused how he won the job without being able to make the calls.

Aaron Murray very sheepishly says in his analysis at some point "this is where Milroe has to know he doesn't need 4 OL sliding left, he has to change the protection here but he doesn't do it now the RB is left with two guys to block and there is no way to get everyone blocked."

I'm no Seth apologist, and openly wondered how he was retaining his job, but he was being asked to do three times as much as most centers before he could even get to his job of snapping the ball. That said I'm still giddy he is gone.

The Milroe's Fan Club will take exceptions. Until Bama does lose two games, we're riding with Milroe.

Milroe has a I3 processor when a I5 is much needed. If he stayed 7 years, the decisions would about the same.
