Current Cincinnati Bengals and former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron spoke about his former team and was critical of the way they have handled themselves this season and says it could start at the top.
McCarron spoke on his weekly segment on Tuscaloosa's Tide 99.1-FM radio show and said that the offense is more bland than it was when he played and that the team might lack true leaders on the offensive end of the ball.

"I don't know if that's Lane doing that or if coach Saban is kind of putting the handcuffs on Lane like I've known Coach to do in the past on his offensive coordinator and we're going to be very bland and run this play and do this and we'll throw it on third down if we have to,”
"I think one of the things that this team is lacking that hurts them the most is not having the true leaders like we had last year and guys that, when things go bad, 'hey, let's calm everybody down, pick it back up and go back to work and get back on the right track. I feel like when things go bad, this team struggles a little with bouncing back and making good plays.”
McCarron also said that using star wide receiver Amari Cooper so much could be the problem with the offense. Cooper has 52 of the 111 total receptions (48.8 percent) for the Crimson Tide on the season.
McCarron said he expected to see more out of Christion Jones, but was very happy with the way Trey DePriest and Landon Collins have handled the defensive end of the team. Jones had said earlier this season in an interview that he believed the 2014 leaders were better than their 2013 counterparts.
