How much was a scheme problem?

How much was... they just aren't as fast as the previous guys?

The vast majority of it was a scheme problem. You had two or three receivers running patterns into the same area on the field on some of those plays last year.

Jim McElwain could scheme open the likes of Darius Hanks and Brad Smelley, guys you have never heard of but who were instrumental to the passing game in those early Saban years. They lacked speed but the patterns they ran and the hot routes they utilized allowed them to get open when they needed to get open.
