Preacher I will disagree slightly. We need good players to play well on every play. But players play in the context of the scheme devised by the OC & DC with input from the HC. I think CKD has put together a staff that has the promise to be very good across the board. But they have to prove it in practice and especially in-game. In the SEC, you have to make effective in-game adjustments and you have to make them quickly. Can't always wait until halftime.
I hope our offensive play design will be much more creative than it has been for the last 10 years. Maybe longer. I don't know what our defensive staff will do. Defense is my biggest worry for next year. As coach Bryant used to say: You gotta keep from losing before you can win.
I can agree with you to a point that we have to be able to block, tackle and run. The scheme as you say players have to make it work. RTR!
