Title: What Offensive Surprises Does Saban Have Up His Sleeve?-Article Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 23, 2011, 11:03:02 AM Interesting article. :think:
So far this season, Alabama has played about as vanilla an offense as you can run. What you haven't seen is a wildcat play, two receivers running a deep route on one play, trip receivers to one side, a reverse, a halfback pass or a no back set. To not know history means living a life that dooms you to repeat your past mistakes. Why would I mention that old proverb here? The last time Alabama played Arkansas with a rookie quarterback, Arkansas drew a line in the sand and said that Greg McElroy would have to prove he could beat them, and they put nine in box and shut the run down http://bleacherreport.com/articles/860270-alabama-football-what-offensive-surprises-has-saban-not-shown-so-far-in-2011 Title: Re: What Offensive Surprises Does Saban Have Up His Sleeve?-Article Post by: Chechem on September 23, 2011, 11:09:50 AM Throw a pass 30 yards? :dunno:
Maybe that's too radical a guess. Title: Re: What Offensive Surprises Does Saban Have Up His Sleeve?-Article Post by: ricky023 on September 23, 2011, 11:23:41 AM The O-line will block like a monster moving machine. RTR!

LOL!! Now that would be a wide-open offense. :clap: Title: Re: What Offensive Surprises Does Saban Have Up His Sleeve?-Article Post by: BAMAWV on September 23, 2011, 03:50:07 PM I was going to joke about a onside kick to open things up, but our kick coverage is too much fun to watch to waste one on a gimmick.

We don't need gimmicks. We aren't the barn. HTH.

They are the only SEC team to score a TD on the opening drive every game this year. I bet they don't do it this week. :D

Title: Re: What Offensive Surprises Does Saban Have Up His Sleeve?-Article Post by: Jamos on September 23, 2011, 04:40:17 PM Let Duron Carter play and use #9 as his number. :)

Phelon Jones and Nick Williams have #9. I don't think he'll fit into either of their jerseys. Nice try, though.

Title: Re: What Offensive Surprises Does Saban Have Up His Sleeve?-Article Post by: SUPERCOACH on September 23, 2011, 05:01:41 PM Can Jesse punt? That is not a bad idea... ??? We need to ask Kuiyam. I think there is punting involved in rugby. :dunno: Title: Re: What Offensive Surprises Does Saban Have Up His Sleeve?-Article Post by: SUPERCOACH on September 23, 2011, 05:03:40 PM If they get through the line and try to block it, Lord help them. I can picture Jesse in an emergency scramble carrying 11 defenders on his back for the first down.

I can picture Jesse in an emergency scramble carrying 11 defenders on his back for the first down. How about he pull a Mt. Cody and block for TR on goal line situations.

I can picture Jesse in an emergency scramble carrying 11 defenders on his back for the first down. May knock the air out of the football. They'd have to use the big uglies on defense just in case it was a fake. I didn't see them work on it on the Practice cam +5000.???
