Not exactly a surprising move for either side given Saban's post-game comments about always being on the lookout for somebody better.If Saban and Co want Buchner then I do, too.
Not exactly rocket surgery.

RPO plays as I understand it is the QB rides the handoff to the RB to access the blocking. If the hole is there he completes the handoff to the RB. If not he pulls the ball and looks to a pass play and then a run. The blocking scheme is for the running play for the back. What I suggested was a pass , but if that pass isn’t open the QB runs in whatever hole the blocking is set up for him. There is no RB option . He only blocks. That cuts out one decision and allows the offense to play quicker. Plus you have dedicated blocking for the QB run only.That's still part of the overall RPO offense, and is still a one route read, which can become an issue for your WR talent if they know on those plays they have no chance of getting the ball.
True. I just want the best QB to be the starter. I'm not sure who that is though. If Buchner does transfer to Bama, he will have to earn the starting job. He seems to have had several injuries in his career already. If he does transfer, I'd guess that one of the other QB's will transfer. I hope not though. I think Holstein and Lonergan have a chance to be really good next year. There are pro's and con's for Jalen and Ty starting. They would each do a good job at another school too.. they just need experience. We need a confident QB for game 2 vs Texas though. Glad that is a home game this season. RTRIf Saban and Co want Buchner then I do, too.

After, " Buchner has a problem turning the football over in limited action," I stopped reading. He's not coming to Bama IMHO.Free On3 article about Buchner:
Maybe. We recruited him out of high school. But word is he is not much of a passer and has problems with INTs. Probly just a courtesy visit on our part more than anything I would think. If we bring in another QB from the portal it would be to compete for the starting job and do not think this guy is up to it given his poor outing in the domer spring game.There are two people who truly know what's really going on with our current quarterbacks. Those same two agreed to bring in a third option for a visit, within hours of analyzing what happened on the field Saturday.
Enough said.
agreed - if the domer secondary made him look not that good, what will SEC level defenses make him look like?Maybe. We recruited him out of high school.

Again only run this at times to slow down the rush. This is not a full time scheme.
Watch the spring game saturday where Haynes scored his TD he basically ripped the football from Ty"s hands seems like Ty wanted it but Haynes said Noooo!Kinda, sorta, but different. The blocking scheme for an RPO typically leaves a player unblocked. The QB reads if that player is playing the RB on the run or not. If not, handoff. If he is, pull it. That way the play is basically 'blocking' for both the RB and the QB at the same time by not blocking the one guy. If the RB was blocking, he'd probably just block the guy who was unblocked in the first place.
South Carolina didn’t go easy on him - but he beat them all the same. (Seems like they had a decent secondary last year, could be wrong).agreed - if the domer secondary made him look not that good, what will SEC level defenses make him look like?
That's what I think too. And then when he zeroed in on him he threw to him 4 straight times.If he wasn’t “hot” on the play, chances of JM finding him through progression is very low; might have been covered when he was “hot” and that ended in a sack. Just guessing here because I didn’t watch it.
On the last drive I wouldn’t be surprised if coaches designed those just for MB, since he was invisible most of the game.
So just spit-balling.If we are loaded at RB and we have consistency issues at WR, I would not run RPO. I would run a split back set with one less WR on the field. I would put TS at QB and JM at H-back or in the slot. This get more of our talent on the field on offense and run more power plays, imo.
JM is a QB. He, IMHO, would transfer if switched to Tight End.So just spit-balling.
If RB 1 is Jase, and RB2 (for now) is Roydell, you would have them both out there in split back.
CJ is TE.
So we have 2 WRs - let's guess Brooks and Benson.
That's the 5 eligible.
You would take one of them off the field, to put Milroe, who hasn't yet practiced any of those positions in the game?
Milroe is still in the mix to start. I think TS likely pulled a tiny bit ahead, but it's not a done deal by any means. Plus we has SO MUCH talent at all the skill positions that thinking someone would just be able to step over and move to the front of the line just isn't realistic. Milroe could certainly have the ability to do it, but the transition and learning a new position isn't likely to be quick.
He plays QB, but I'm not sold yet he is one. There is a big difference, and I hope to be proven that he is a QB and a good one at that.JM is a QB. He, IMHO, would transfer if switched to Tight End.
