By far the most returning production/snaps/etc that we've had since people started measuring that sort of stuff.

The only areas where we return less than half our production/new starter are : QB, K, P.

Really excited about this team next year. Only concern is how does the QB room perform and do we have the players like Saban did in the early days where we just need the QB to distribute and not win games for us. Felt like coaches relied too heavily on Jalen this past year and wish they’d found ways to help a struggling player.

My biggest concerns/areas that the season will hinge on are

(1) QB play
(2) OL play


decent sized gap


(3) Pass rush



large gap



(4) Solid specialists

The OL players for the most part need to lose some weight. #75 has to gain some quickness or moved inside. Maybe try #77 at right tackle or even LT.

Two years of watching #74 play LT makes you think year 3 will be the same and that is a problem.

Roberts is way too heavy-footed to play tackle. Proctor needs to improve, but he's serviceable, and he was injured literally the entire season. Hopefully he will heal up, get coached up (missed last spring), and be ready to have his best year. I don't see a scenario, based on current roster, where he isn't a starter at one of the tackle spots.

Who is going to be our H-back this season with both #45 and #81 gone.

Yeah, they should have given him a break for a few games.

Cuevas was the backup TE-H last year.

There were many times when both of those guys were on the field and that same time. I guess #87 paired with #80 will be the starting point for 2025.

Guys listed are guys leaving - their data was subtracted from the 2024 totals.

I'm not too worried about qb...growing pains..sure but I feel Russell has the tools and talent to be a day 1 starter. This kid is special !!

Do you guys even watch football? Proctor was massively improved even without spring practice.

Formby’s issue is not quickness.

Formby's run blocking was much better than Pritchett's.

Proctor starts because Bama has NOBODY else worth a damn at LT.

Formby is beat from from the get go when a speed rusher is on him, and he has no help from the TE/H-back
