Freddie Milons has potential to be an All-American and McAddley and Carter bring some good experience. There is good depth at running back and FB Dustin McClintock can power the ball. Strength Coach Terry Jones, Sr. will watch his son Terry Jr. amaze NFL scouts with his size and agility. The offensive line has potential. Will Cuthbert can play almost any position and Hogan and backup Ephraim make the Tide very strong up the middle.
Question marks remain on offense especially on the line.
The talent is there but coaches feel the line must develope some cohesiveness and depth. In the spring look for Bama to work on running the ball between the tackles better. Most important in 1999 was Alabama's inability to throw the ball deep while loosening up defensive opponents while receivers must also learn to run better intermediate routes. The Tide must also find a kicker to erase the memory of missed extra points with senior and captain Ryan Pflugner leaving. The loss of running back Shaun Alexander speaks for itself.
