Mac Jones, Alabama’s backup quarterback has been around long enough to know the whole playbook. Offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian and quarterback coach Dan Enos aren’t in panic mode trying to build a game plan on offense that he can understand. He understands it all. What they’re doing is building a portfolio of plays that Jones is comfortable running, plays that fit in his wheelhouse. They’re not trying to recreate Tua Tagovailoa 2.0, they’re trying to polish Mac Jones 1.0.
Jones has the arm strength needed to throw the deep out route and the deep post or bomb if you will.
