I'll tell you this about Nick Saban , and it goes back to his days as an NFL assistand, he'll make sure this team is well coacehed t eery level. theyre going to do the smart things, thery're going to win some games people don't expect them to, because they're going to be better organized adn prepareedd than the other team... Saban's background is defense, adn I think you'll see them playing more zone than they did in the past. They don't have the great corners anymore. Pattick Surtain is gone and Sam Madison is just average now. But I like their front seven... Vernon Cary flunked on the right side of their offensive line last year, flunked on the left this summer. Now he's back on the right. What does that tell you? It's a line of heavy legged guys, so maybe they'll go back to running the ball 500 times a season... what they need is a quarterback who can work a game. Jay feddler was an erratic passer, but he could move the sticks. Gus Frerotte? I'm not sure. And it's tough to get a handle on scott linehan's offense. At times in Minnesota, I couldn't see a pattern to it. It looked like Daunte Culpepper was doing a lot on his own, scrambling to set things up.
