Very nice writeup. I do have a couple of disagreements.
I don't necessarily agree that Chaney is handcuffed. I personally feel the other way around. 3rd down plays are very questionable, even at third and 15 and being behind I don't like the rushing play.
Chaney is paid big bucks, and I think he is therefore calling the offensive shots. If he felt strongly about it, he could force a qb change.
I also question the development argument. I don't see a lot of player development yet. There is little progress in LB, DL, DB, even qb with Maurer and Shrout. OL is a disappointment, only
Palmer is playing well at wr. WR development is worrisome with no separation. Even the kicking game has not been impressive. I won't mention TE.
Finally, I disagree with your statement that Bama is one of the top defenses in the country. They avg. giving up 29 pts a game. They do have an AA db and a good dl. The rest of the def.
is very good but not elite.
Thanks for your writeups!!
