Tyrell Miller-Rodney

There's not a doubt in my mind.

I mean, and, and I hope you can keep the depth pieces as well, uh, particularly Tyrell Miller and particularly Mal Waldrup Jr.

And then you've got some other guys who I'm still really excited about for the future.

Jared Graham I think can be a really good player for Alabama.

Michael Carroll was out against Kentucky, piped in another guard, we were fine.

You look at the right tackle position against Mississippi State where you had Javon James come out, you pipe in Tyrell Miller, you're fine.

So i- is this gonna be an opportunity for another center to rise up? We'll wait and see for Kalen DeBoer, but so far, two for two.

If you can go three for three, great, but what I'm scared of is going on the road at Rocky Top, 'cause that stadium, they pipe in the fake noise.

When Georgia's defense is looking at Alabama, where is one? Where is three? How do we stop these guys and don't let them get behind us? We already know what one can do, right? Javen James, right tackle, back in action for Alabama.

How great is that? Alabama gets their starting right tackle back for this big game against Georgia, although Tyrell Miller held it down last week against Mississippi State.

Also, you have Crowell a- and the reason I put Crowell, he, he's not leading the team.

He's actually third in terms of rushing, 26 for 22 with three touchdowns, but I think a guy like Crowell i- is very dangerous specifically within the red zone, and what I mean by this is he's a guy that Alabama has gone to a couple different times within the, the, the goal line situation because his speed, power, his jumping, all that sort of stuff, and if Crowell takes on an even bigger role, what does that look like for Alabama and how scary is that if, if you're the opposing defense? 'Cause Crowell, we know what he can do.

He's gonna be back.

I would assume he's gonna be starting over Tyrell Miller.

Hopefully, you know, even though he's off the injury report, hopefully that an- that ankle is fine or whatever was ailing him, the lower body injury, because that's one that maybe, you know, they can get some wins against if he's not 100%, 'cause I think they could get some wins against him regardless.

V- been steady, don't get me wrong, you know, been fine.

I just mean going against, like, I think Chris Cole is a bonafide NFL talent.

So, um, that's one to keep an eye on.

Like, if it would've been Tyrell Miller, I'd have said, well, from an athleticism standpoint, I mean, I don't know if you get a whole lot more athletic than Chris Cole as an edge, but I also don't think you get a whole lot more athletic as a, for a tackle than Tyrell Miller.

But Miller's inexperience and, you know, some of the problems that he has as far as sustaining blocks, sticking on guys, could've been problematic.

Uh, you know, barring anything emerging from the s- from the game in Starkville, uh, as we wro- know right now, um, it seems clear, it seems like Javeon James is gonna come back.

But Tyrell Miller obviously can handle that role there on the offensive line, and I think that was the biggest question mark right now that's turned into probably one of the best things to happen for Alabama in terms of depth, depth confidence, um, with their offensive line.

'Cause it gives them a lot more of the ability to either switch out guys that are tired.

If guys get injured, you can trust Tyrell Miller to slot in there and play a, a capable, solid game.

Um, and honestly, a game that I thought we saw less pressure put on Keelon Russell than we did against South Carolina.

So I think for Alabama- It's not a blessing in disguise per se, but I think it is a blessing to the fact that you can have even more confidence surrounding your offensive line when it being able to plug and play guys like that, it gives you a second option, an AB thing to try to test.

Uh, a- and the chemistry didn't seem to lighten up either with the offensive line.

So all in all, with the Tyrell Miller, Javen James situation, the scene unfold, I think it gives not only the staff but a lot of fans confidence in their offensive line, uh, going forward going into the Georgia week.

Yeah, I mean, it's, it's kind of, it, it's down to one player right now that we know about in terms of, um, having been out for the Mississippi State game, and that's Javen James, who I think is really, uh, the one player who could be back, you know, for this Georgia game right now.

Um, and that was kind of what Kalen DeBoer expressed, um, as far as his ankle injury, um, lower leg, whatever you want to call it, and op- being optimistic that he'll be able to come back, you know, for the Georgia game and, um, you know, take the place of Tyrell Miller, who had started for him against Mississippi State.

So he was one of, I believe it was seven guys that were out, you know, for that game for Alabama.

Um, again, you have the two that are out for the season, Caden Jones and Jeremiah Beamon.

I mean, no notes there.

Yeah, it's Javen James at your circle.

I thought Tyrell Miller played pretty well, um, on, on Saturday, but I think in an ideal world, you probably want to have Javen James back.

Just a little bit more experience, a little bit bigger, especially going against this, uh, Georgia defensive front, which we'll dive deeper into, uh, on Thursday as we always do.
