A lot are upset about not starting younger players to see what they can do. Yes we're out of the playoffs, so it would be a good time to look at players you've invested in to determine FA and Draft needs.
However, you don't do that to veterans. You still have to put your best team on the field. JT and ZT play to win every week, let's respect that.
On who Saban starts. He has to start the players he thins gives him the best chance to win. JH may not be be very popular right now, but he has a 5-2 record in the last seven games, and proven he can win when the team shows up. The buffalo game was a bad game plan and poorly executed - JH admitted as much. CC needs to get on the same page as JH and live up to his billing as the #1 WR. Because if DC doesn't win the job in TC that's his QB.
However, if we're leading big or getting blown out we can still look at our backups in the 4th qtr. Saban is not beyond looking at players when the risk is valid.
So let's support our team and let the off season happen. We all know we need better QB and OL play, How do we improve them - well that's the million $ question. Is it more time/practice, DC getting healthy, getting new players for the OL or promoting young ones on staff already?
Saban also needs to look at the coaching staff, I think we need a new WR coach. If he's going to keep Mularkey as the OC, he needs to get the type of players he needs.
