We were more challenged at WR than I thought prior to Von Pearson coming back. North was a big piece of the upcoming season, but frankly after wowing in his rookie year he didn't do much last year anyway. IF he's out, which is still uncertain, it's an opportunity for a young guy to step up.
What I want to know is how is bammer going to compete with as many as five guys still in the running for QB (per SECN last night), only three starters back on offense, and literally half their passing offense (Amari Cooper) playing in the NFL?
And oh yeah, Kiffin is the OC. His offense last year consisted solely of finding ways to get Amari the ball. What is he going to do this year? Do you trust him to pick the right QB?
Here's another thing to ponder. Personal saban ass licker Finebaum says that Bammer's D was "really good last year and people are not crediting that". Putting aside Finebaum's bias, bammer's D gave up 18 ppg last year, which is their highest since saban went 6-6 in his first season. The second highest was 14 ppg in 2008. (Defensive ppg is one of the most correlated stats in football to wins). They also were 58th in the country in pass d and lose a 1st round DC/1st team AA db in Landon Collins.
So in spite of the fact that they get 7 starters back on D, do you really agree with delusional saban ass puppet Finebaum that bammer's d will be "one of the best, if not the best, in the country?"
I just figure you follow bammer really closely and might have an opinion.
