Again we can’t run

Justice Haynes averaged 5.7 per rush. Young averaged 5.6.

May be some of the issue is Jam Miller, I don't know because we never really saw a consistent enough rush attack to evaluate, but I do know the other two guys ran well when given a chance. Haynes only got two carries, it's hard to say well Michigan had him bottled up after only two attempts isn't it?

That's the issue, we just flat out refused to give these guys a shot most of the time. Having said that, the less you run the less effective your run game tends to be. It requires more discipline than the passing game which is more skill based.

Yeah and how open was Bernard and Williams all day? If we hit 2-3 of them we win by 2 scores.

Shame we didn't have a QB who could SEE how wide open they were at times.............

I don’t need to convince you of anything I’m just sick of your broken record. There isn’t a single person on this board who can’t quote your opinions on this matter. Just bc you repeat yourself doesn’t make it fact

dont read em

Like I’m the only person who believes this happened?

That was the big issue.............the OC or the coach would go away from something working........run it till it dont work then run something else

Why did Coach Saban roll with Milroe for the rest of the season?

because the same players who were 'on strike' against USF met in the players only meeting on Monday after USF and said they were only rolling with JM. Catch up, will ya?

See that’s so weird because I think Jam is our best back, and it’s not even close.

ESPN talking heads deeming DeBoers first year a failure and we're getting roasted after today's performance about thinking we should have been in the playoffs.

Our program has/is slipping back to pre-Saban days. This offseason will determine DeBoers fate.

ESPN is all about generating clicks and engagement. When we missed the playoffs they were rage farming on our behalf. Now they’re throwing dirt on our grave. I’d take them with a grain of salt.

We were told that DeBoer would be running his full offense in this bowl game.

Link?

I’ve seen this suggested but I have a very difficult time believing it. What exactly is the player motivation to do this?

 

[gtgilbert]

Not this again, I kind of dug myself in a hole when I bit on speculation the last time.

All I can say is I question some of his choices...

Milroe is making things way too easy for him as of right now, if there's no Milroe and Alabama isn't a juggernaut then people have no one else to blame.


If the QB isn't capable of making the play, it's not a good play unless you draw up something that can be executed. I said the same thing during Hurts time at Alabama, you don't get bonus points for drawing up a play that the QB can't execute and for the record the defense knows this as well. You do this in basketball, you don't care if a guy who can't shoot is open, you dare them to make the play, you sucker them into that choice.

The problem is there is too much that the QB can't do. There's literally no way to draw up enough he can do to have a complete game plan.

Michigan shut down our run today. The only back with any sort of success today was Young. They basically forced Milroe to read a zone.

 

[gtgilbert]

because JM was paying them, via LANK, which he created.

By fans.

 

[TDBama78]

Deboer should pull him aside and assure that Milroe won’t be back

The coach and the AD should make good on that like their jobs depend on it.

Well, I do think Jam would have done better if he was a more focal point of the offense instead of just a change of pace. He gets ten carries while Milroe throws the ball 32 times, that seems uneven doesn't it?

Having said that, if we just go by averages which can be misleading, Jam averaged 5.1 per carry in his time at Alabama and Haynes averaged 5.9. I certainly would have liked to see both get more carries though, but my main point was just if people didn't like how the running game looked with Jam, perhaps we should have seen more of the other guys as well.

Wait….you can do that?????
