Big Steve is gonna knock somebody's head off this year. Just need to get him some reps early in the year to get him some confidence and experience.
He is strong like bull. I really like this DL on paper. But we need some guys to step up. We could be really deep. I think Faga, Simmons, Hill, and Beamon are all ready to roll with the 2nd wave of DL.

Who do we think is the 6th OL/3rd OT? Nick Brooks? Do we think we will see some of that this year? I like it and I think CKD likes to overload the line sometimes.
Delgatty seems to be the chosen one at center. Who is the backup?

I was hoping Haywood would fit in the mix somewhere but somebody mentioned he us far behind the others so IDK maybe James?

I just don’t understand. Please don’t think I’m being disrespectful/rude or whatever.
I know Division 1-AA is a loooong ways from a major D-1A program, but the game is pretty much on the same level schematically, and you see lots of successful coaches come through these ranks….Kirby got his start at D-2 Valdosta State for example.
The OC I coached TE’s under became the OC for Todd Graham at Arizona State just two years later without ever having coached above D-1AA
It gets very complicated at that level. And guys who make it big like CKD who worked his way from the NAIA level (smaller than D-3) all the way to the pinnacle of the sport are just different.
CNO was a high school coach for over 10 years and a school teacher, and now is doing unprecedented things for Bama basketball.
Then you hear media constantly talking about your deficiencies as if the game is easy enough (at that level) for a 12 year old that plays Madden to figure out.
Breaking multiple games down for an OC/DC at that level is typically 30-40 hours to finish if you have a few good GA’s to split it up, and you start to really appreciate how crazy it gets for something as simple as Sean McVay calling a PA pass for a routine 15yd gain that no one will remember two plays later.
Just soooo much goes into it, and fans and media (especially) rationalize it by making it as simple as “Bama has to run the ball better if they ever want to improve offensively”.
I always want to ask people when they say that, then how did they drop 355 yards and 34 points on Georgia with Milroe in just a single half of football?
A typical response is “well yeah Milroe played really well in the 1st half”.
So, does that mean the offense doesn’t have to run the ball well if the QB has a good game?
It’s just never that simple and I don’t know if Bama fans will ever come to accept that the run game is there to compliment the passing game. Now, that doesn’t mean they throw it 50 times a game and run it 10. CLD has always been pretty balanced when it comes to number of runs compared to passes.
The difference is that CKD doesn’t view rushing the football for 4.4ypc compared to just 3.8 will ever be the key to winning a National Title.
