Alabama has the best group of running backs since 2020. We got better when McClellan and Williams moved on. I respect those guys but we will be much more dynamic with Miller, Haynes and Young. I also think that Daniel Hill will have a role in this offense. He’s college ready right now.

I also think that Elijah Prichett is a great fit for this offense. Proctor is so overweight and got beat way too much.

I agree Proctor needed more time in the S&C program, but almost every TF OT does.
He certainly wasn’t perfect as a freshmen but I’d argue at least half the sacks that were credited to Proctor were a result of Milroe retreating rather than stepping up in the pocket.
Watch the NFL. Even at that level they have to cheat with an early drop step to prevent giving up the edge to the speed rush guys and they would still lose 100% of the time if their QB were retreating when they’re already shotgun deep rather than climbing the pocket.

I agree on Milroe but when you point out his obvious flaws people start attacking you. It’s going to be so interesting to see if Milroe is a good fit for Ryan Grubb and Kalen DeBoer’s offense.

The biggest question between now and August is which ones will be ready to pick up blitzing LB's/Safeties /corners or help when a DL twisted breaks in. Without good RB pass pro skills, the Deboer/Grubb system will break down.

Milroe is the most complicated player I’ve ever seen play for Alabama.
He didn’t get any sort of player development from BOB who didn’t even think he was a QB. So is the lack of field awareness indicative of his limitations or does he just need an elite QB development guy to unlock his full potential?
His footwork is absolute trash. How much of his poor screen and slant game is fixed with just getting his feet right?
He’s the most athletic QB in the country… but he doesn’t like to run. This means he’s actually a terrible RPO QB because his reads are too slow due presumably to a lack of practice. If he embraces running to open up the passing game how damn good is he if they have to bite on the run fake?
He clearly made strides from UT to UGA, breaking into the Heisman race when the system was built around his skillset and he embraced running the ball.
That said failure to read defenses and adjust protection left half the passing playbook unusable and led to an unfathomable sack rate last year. There is no chance he can run the full DeBoer offense at the level of awareness he demonstrated last year, but if he figures out the mental part of the game he is legitimately an NFL MVP ceiling guy.
Total enigma.

This is the basic bottom line. Milroe was basically running the Nick Marshall offense when he was the barn quarterback. That is not the style that Grubb and DeBoer run. It will take a lot of time and effort for Milroe to get to where he can run this offense. Spring practice will be interesting to watch.

Similar to what he did at Fresno I would assume KD will adjust his offense to better suit the best players. I would imagine what we see in spring will be you figure out who those guys are, and the offense may not reflect what we run in the fall completely.
His Fresno days were much more run heavy and less QB centric compared to what you see in these videos with penix
We aren't really built to run what Washington did last year with the current makeup of the roster.

No doubt! 350# OL guys are not built for pulling and blocking in space. 270# center can be bull rushed by a nose tackle to screw up pulling lanes. Young RB's have much to learn for pass protection. Current roster pulling/motion/cross blocking is from the HB. Option routes by WR's and with a QB not known for reading post snap.
There is a whole lot of learning that will have to take place in the spring and body reshaping between now and July.
Current personel run game looks to be best suited for duo, counter, stretch, and edge games.

Makes me excited
Glad we have some UW transfers to help with the transition
