The offensive line is a real problem. I’m not sure what the in season fix is but we need to sign 3-4 guys in the portal in January. That position needs the urgency that defensive tackle got this past offseason.
I think the question is more about the season in general if Arch comes out and does not show a dramatic improvement. We can beat San Jose St no matter what but the bigger issue is we are fucked when we play a good team if the Ohio St Arch is really who he is.
Comparing a third year player to a true freshman is interesting. One, Alabama’s situation has nothing to do with Arch Manning. Arch is a college veteran who is just not as good as we thought. The reason I predict Russell starting at some point is he is significantly more talented than Ty Simpson and eventually that will win out.
Of course this stuff is fixable. What concerns us is Arch is a third year player and not a freshman. Generational talents typically do need to retool their throwing mechanics three years into being a college QB.
He is running a fucking shallow crosser to beat man coverage dipshit. Wingo is going full speed and Arch is supposed to lead him across the field not sidearm a ball two yards behind him. Yes Wingo contorted himself and got a hand on the ball in the process but you have to be fucking retarded to lay blame on the receiver.
Is that how they teach footwork at The Manning Pass academy? That has to be the worst possible mechanics a QB can display aside from tossing the ball underhanded granny style.
