re: 2020 Official Depth Chart

I don't think Mac Jones is going to be running the same offense this time around. I think we are going to rely on a punishing ground attack and it may not have much to do with his skill set. I'm going to be shocked if teams have to break out their Dime packages to scheme our offensive attack beyond down and distance.

I was looking at Gruden's offense for the Raiders last night and how they set up Josh Jacobs in their rushing attack. They played out of the Pistol a lot and they ran downhill. Gruden is good at dink and dunking to his backs and tight ends and he wanted Ruggs badly to get his play-action and a deep threat going this season. A lot of old school in his concepts and he could still spread you out with his WRs when necessary. I thought they were the more physical team at the LOS than the Saints and I thought they wore them down in the second half with their ball control. Certainly shortened the game and Drew Bree's opportunities.

Personnel dictates identity as much as any scheme but Alabama could look a lot more like the Raiders than the Saints this season.
