On to football season

As some mentioned earlier, it will be interesting to see if the reins come off of Levi, with respect to running, early in the season. With the depth in the QB room and the lack of experience (not necessarily talent) in the RB room, I can see a case being made to start out aggressive with him, which would also help the running game.

We stand absolutely no shot at beating Texas unless the reigns are taken off of Levi’s legs.

Boomer, I’d be willing to bet Legendre doesn’t see a snap at QB here unless he completely changes his footwork. Athletic ability is through the roof. But his footwork is atrocious and will never allow him to be an accurate passer.

Was he recruited by Bama to be a QB, or to be converted to WR or DB?

We lost 2 RB’s to the NFL. I would expect a significant reduction in RB production. Especially early in the season.

Mitchell and Ragas were not plug and play backs. They were playmakers who could bail out the offense with great individual effort. Smith will have to step up and so will the rest of the RB room. Lewis as a consistent part of the running game would also help.

I think this year our passing game will need to assist the running game Vs previous years what the running game was the foundation of the offense. If that happens our running game should be fine. If the running game is on a island, like it was for several games last year, I think we will struggle.

I don’t think people understand how absolutely loaded we are at RB. Our RB room is filled with P5 type backs. It has been for the last 10 years at least.

No one thought we would replace Harris and McGuire. Well Ragas and Mitchell were better than those two were.

Will there be a drop off, maybe, but it won’t show in production that’s for sure.

Everyone also needs to realize that there has never been a Defense as talented as the one that will take the field this year.

Agree we are loaded, just not experienced. Hence my concern about early in the season. I believe the OL play will be improved, so that will definitely help.

I'm really curious about that LeGendre kid. Top rated QB in Louisiana coming out of HS, clear 4-star grade. Offered by Alabama and Florida State.

Many of us seem to think Chandler Fields is the next starter, but could it be this guy instead?

........Well, like I said, I just was looking up the high school high lites and wow....no wonder The world offered him....take a look at long balls, slant, outs, and can he run. So check him out against the best teams in the state!

I watched him at Maryland and in our Spring Game. He is clearly behind Lewis, Fields, and the Fresno transfer.

IMO Fields was ahead of everyone for the spring game.

I agree Fields was the best QB that night. QB1 should be LL without question but Fields will ball when called upon.

Yeah, that's why many of the top teams in the SEC offered him, because of his atrocious footwork. Got it.

He looked pretty accurate to me Boomer, but what do we know!
