It all starts here! This uses to be Bamas strong point...not so much anymore! Is it coaching or is it players? Do we have any portal lineman we are looking at...do we have a can't miss recruit coming in?
I don't care how good your qb is, how good your rb's are or how good your receivers are...if you dont have a line, the others are just useless! CKD, I'm looking at you....figure it out or say you're in over your head.

The line feels fine, and there’s plenty of talent coming in already. We just need to figure out our guard to replace Booker since he’s leaving

It’s hard to really judge this line with the lack of line adjustments but they feel okay . I don’t think there’s any real “upgrades” out there

Milroe hurt the OL:

Held the ball too long.

Couldn't audible.

Rolled into blockers.

Wouldn't run. When he did he chose the wrong path.

Messed up his RPO reads a lot.

I’ve said it before, Proctor and Pritchett are fat, slow, out of shape and both need to drop weight. Proctor needs to drop 40-50 lbs and Pritchett needs to probably drop 20-30 lbs.

Our Center and Guards are good.

Our OTs are absolutely trash and kill half our plays before they even start

This is crazy talk.

I watched Milroe get sacked today 9 seconds after the ball was snapped

He has time.

Tua is out there throwing bubble screens in the NFL without even getting his hands around the laces. The QB falloff is real.

I get how thats a high standard, but MIlroe is the problem. Just imagine him without an Alabama supporting cast.

He is not the only problem. Pritchett has graded poorly against every good team we have played. Our running back is average at best. Our running game is probably below average

Proctor needs to lose 40 lbs and run the shuttle test in less then 5.2 seconds or no NIL.

Alabama is playing offense with one hand tied behind their back.

I wish one of the Bama reporters would have interviewed Wink's and asked him what he saw when he did film work on Bama. After he finally stopped laughing, his comments would be interesting.

It seems like its been years since a truly consistent OL. I think this has to do with the switch to air raid football during Bryce Young days

2020 was the last truly dominant offensive line we had.

The OL was not good this year. I’d even call it a liability, and that is giving blame to Milroe for holding the ball too long at times.

Center and LG were the only two spots that consistently played well. Considering the LG is gone, that group needs to make some major strides before next season.

Bama has to sign some with talent and IQ.

I also see the tackles getting put on skates into the QB's lap in less than 3 seconds after the snap too.

Milroe causes a lot of sacks but the tackles got their manhood challenged yesterday and failed the test. Michigan's ends whooped their asses consistently all day.

Our H-back is a pathetic blocker as well. He is the reason for the fumble on #4's pass in the pocket. 250lbs and he could hold off a DB

This was a consistent theme all year especially with #57

I hope Alabama's "front office" has found a starter at LT either through the portal or HS recruiting. Pritchett probably needs to be a 6th OL and Proctor needs to be a right tackle.
