Most of the time when Tua gets sacked it's because he holds the ball to long not because of a free rusher coming in or the oline getting beat

Here is some oline rankings, not to mention they have the best receiving corps

IMO, the Alabama O-Line is pretty average, but the Jags O-Line is flat out pathetic! I'd be very happy with our O-Line being average. We strive for average. We've had so many injuries on the O-Line, it's on the verge of being unbelievable. That is why I've been "banging the gavel" to draft more O-Linemen. Our lack of depth in this area was a contributor to our downfall. When we bring in a new QB, this is an area that must be fixed. Comparing Alabama's O-Line to our own is like comparing a store bought tomato (which is fine, but nothing special) to a rotten tomato, festering with maggots.

Regardless what our oline looks like Alabamas oline is much better than average lol.  There is a reason Tua didnt even play in 4th quarters this season.  Its because their oline gave Tua time to pick defenses apart not to mention the huge holes in the run game.  Alabama and Wis. have the best olines every year and nothing has changed.  Its clear you havent watched Alabama to much but if Alabama's oline is average id love to see a good one.
