I think broadly, we're trying to do the same things as 2020 but what we're doing since Sark left is much more poorly packaged to maximize constraint issues on the defense. Can't underestimate that the OL play has just been flat-out poor since Kyle Flood left too.
Alabama floundered a bit post-Stoutland in 2013 and 2014 but not to this degree. 2 of the last 3 OL units are in the bottom 3 for the entire Saban tenure in Tuscaloosa. At least 2007 was year 1 and endured the meat of their schedule without their starting center due to textbookgate. Hard to make excuses for production in the same class as "unprocessed" Shula recruits. Freshmen LTs have started here before and flourished.
I think the QB does owe some blame though. Let's see if Milroe's year 4 can be more like Mac's year 4 in 2020. I have my doubts he can reach that benchmark but I do expect marked improvement at QB.
