Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.

[Snake 4 Bama]

Makes you wonder if Saturday was on purpose to tell everyone to shut up, the picked the best guy in the first place.
And I agree, its all about the OL. If that isn't fixed, Bryce, Mac, Tua, or Joe Willie wouldn't make the difference.

Last year we had Bryce who made tough throws on the run when the line couldn't pass protect. This year the line is worse and none of our QB's can make the tough throws that Bryce did. So a defense can load the box with no fear of the passing game and put extra pressure to force a mistake by the QB. This also makes it hard to run the ball. The coaches need to use Milroe's running ability a lot more to open some passing lanes. Heck, maybe run the wishbone and freak out the defense.

We put 17 pts. on the 98th ranked defense in the nation and people think that Simpson is the best. smh!

Heck yea, wishbone with Jalen, Simpson and Lonergan in the backfield. They wouldn't know what hit em.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Ehhh…. me and @JustNeedMe81 are two different posters? But don’t feel bad because you aren’t the first to confuse me with someone else today

Honestly I’m just happy we have a plan going forward, but I don’t see it resulting in an Atlanta Party just yet. It could but my expectations are lowered than what they were 2 weeks ago.

Hey I did same thing to 81usa this morning. Popular man!

 

[Cruloc]

So Greg McElroy is the one that mentioned Milroe showing his attitude in practice last week? Attitude because he didn't like sharing reps with the 1's with the other two guys?

I have no words for that. Nothing good about any of it. Bunch of babies.

He got 4 series

edit: sorry, it was 7

 

[IM4UA]

It's just Monday folks. How about we give Coach the benefit of the doubt?

 

[Cruloc]

He got 4 series

with 2 TD's and a FG.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

with 2 TD's and a FG.

Against the 98th ranked defense it solidified him at #2

 

[dabamafan]

I don't know what to make of this, but I know it doesn't look good.

Proctor does not even offer a hand to his quarterback after he gives up the sack

That could easily just be a true freshman who is obviously struggling caught up in his own stuff and not thinking.
It's a very curious state of affairs all around and I can't wait to see how it plays out.RTR

 

[Tidewater]

The good news is we will get to see how the team responds now that the starter has finally been named.

 

[colbysullivan]

with 2 TD's and a FG.

Lol, facts won’t win this argument.

 

[Tideflyer]

If Jalen`s the starter moving forward, then IMHO his legs have to be a DESIGNED part of the offense, not just when everything goes to hell in a hand basket in a collapsing pocket. Like most, though, I just fear we`ll be too one dimensional. Everybody on the planet knows we`re going to see 8 in the box.

The offensive line wasn’t much better last year and Bryce did make a huge difference. Last season looks like this one without him.

According to the stat sheet, he got 7 series.

This thread in a nutshell

shock and denial
pain and guilt
anger and bargaining
depression
the upward turn
reconstruction and working through
acceptance and hope

 

[colbysullivan]

You’re probably right. In my head he only played the 2nd half.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Some good news Bryce is about to start on MNF.

 

[Cruloc]

Lol, facts won’t win this argument.

Feels like we as a fan base are about as diametrically opposed as the team seems to be about this situation.

Can't wait for Milroe's first turnover vs Ole Miss....most will still pump the sunshine. At least I'm not the only one that thought Simpson actually looked like a QB out there. A rookie QB that needs some game time. But Milroe is this teams ride or die QB.....even some of the former players are all in on him.

Don't blame Saban for sitting him for the attitude last week. This team is on the cusp of implosion.
