Those quick passes do not show how the OL holds up. Jones was on his back half the time against Auburn
Per SEC Stat Cast Mac Jones had the lowest % of passes pressured in the entire SEC. He was pressured on 23% of throws against Auburn.
Alabama was #1 in sacks allowed per game and #4 in tackles for loss allowed per game.
The offensive line was not a problem.

Like I said, the quick passes prevent pressure. That is why those stats are worthless. Again, he was on his back against Auburn whenever it took more than 3 seconds to pass. It caused the 100 yard return against AU, it cause the injurys against Tua and it caused Tua to fumble on the first drive against LSU. They were not much better in 2017 and 2018, but it was compensated for by other positions.

Kentucky's returning QB is 12-3 as a starter.

Mac Jones strikes fear in no one!!!

So your argument is because we ran a quick passing game that means that inherently we would have given up sacks? I mean.......alright? The switch to a quick passing game was because that is what Sark runs, not to cover for issues up front.

The offensive line is the reason for a fumble on this play below ay?

Alabama returns a very large piece of its' offense next year. Not to mention a lot of experience on defense, and a damn KICKER
Not holding my breath on the kicker thing until we have one that’s hitting 80-90% inside the 40 and 100% of PATs through November.

Oh boy...
First of all, Mac throws down field a lot.
Second of all, he was pressured immediately after the snap that led to the 100 yd pick-six because Kaho (LB that we put at fb) whiffed on the block. It was nowhere near 3 seconds
Thirdly, Tua’s fumble had nothing to do with our O-line. It was a fluke fumble

If Jake Fromm jumps to the NFL, which SEC team has a better starter next year then Mac Jones?
Guessing Georgia and LSU go for a grad transfer for QB
Even if Fromm comes back, Jones might be a better QB from what I've seen , he definitely throws a better deep ball than Fromm
More snaps with the 1st string and more film study and the ability to not repeat his mistakes from this season and you guys are in good shape with Jones at QB

No, but the coaches recognized those weaknesses and did not subject Tua and especially Johns to that risk. Didn't work for Tua because he liked to run out of the pocket.

Really, Tua wasn't scrambling when he hurt his ankle ? He wasn't being chased out of the pocket when two DL fell on him ?

Nice still photo, what was happening the two seconds prior to that shot.
I have been saying this for a while, the OL cost them the last two years. That is why I said I thought Bama had a chance against Clemson last year with Hurts as the QB. His running ability would have taken the heat off the OL in that game.

Brennan will have better stats than Mac Jones at the end of the season next year.
Please bookmark this and let’s revisit it at the end of next season.

They don't know what Brennan will do. I've seen him play, he looked competent. Against backups. Throwing slants.
They seem to think he will put up numbers like Joe. But they have the same problem we have at the moment. WHO is coming back and who isn't?
Isn't Jefferson draft eligible? Bye. The stumpy little back they have? Bye. Who else?

Yes, because the 2 WR on the play weren't open, as Todd Blackledge very clearly points out on the broadcast. It was a coverage scramble, and one where he should have chunked it the second he passed the tackle box line.
quote:

He was literally in the pocket for 5 seconds on this one. Then he scrambled, then he drifted backwards to try and wait for a receiver to get open, THEN he got hit.
So no, neither was on the o-line.

What the hell does that have to do with "causing him to fumble"? Two seconds prior he had firm control of the ball. In this instance he is drifting right with firm control of the ball.
Once again, you stated
quote:

The offensive line had zero to do with the fumble.

Tua would not just give up on a play and live to fight the next one. It cost him.

Yea I don't understand how anyone can do the whole "so and so is definitely going to be better than so and so" after this past season.
Wild to me how immediately people forget things.

So you're already assuming Mac Jones won't be the best in the conference?
Why don't you tell us your thoughts then if you've already got Jones as at most second best?

The coverage sacks narrative doesn’t tell the story. Coverage sacks on deep and intermediate routes are on the QB, but with short quick routes it is on the OL.
