Question: How Much Do You See the Offense Changing This Year?

bigjue24 · Jul 16, 2015

I was curious what the people on this board think about this year's offense. I haven't found a better board with more informed fans of any team. The statement by O.J. Howard has had me thinking about this. He said, "Kind of more shotgun, more high-tempo, so you have to learn the plays really fast and get off the ball really quick." I would like to see the offense go Oregon fast with the players we have, and a mindset of lets maul them over and over. The shotgun part of the statement doesn't really lend itself to that unless the thought process is spread them out then pound them up the middle. The offensive line we have lends itself to good run blocking, at least on paper. I have never been a fan of this HUNH crap, but if the rules aren't going to change to bring a little more balance back to the game I'm all for let's bury them at their own game. The funny part is if Bama did this and was extremely successful at it then the cry would be we have to slow the game down.

We will have to do a lot better job this year than last year in the run blocking dept. I think having Mr. Drake back will add a wildcard aspect to our offense.

We just need the line to be more consistent and perform at a higher level than last year, especially given the situation at QB.

With Kenyan, El Tractorcito and our receivers, would should be a nightmare for any opposing DC.

Here are some thoughts given by some a few weeks ago.

Thanks. That does fit in with the O.J. Howard comment. I'm really excited. The OL talent we have now is just better than the last couple of years. I expect better run blocking this year.

Hopefully the offense will be very similar to how the offense was last year with the additions of utilizing the TEs more and a lot more Henry running behind Cam..

Hopefully it changes so that when we are running it down someone's throat, we keep on doing it until they choke on it. I'd vote for that change.

Seriously, didn't we run a lot of shotgun last year?

Last night, I watched a replay of A-Day on ESPNU. I recall a third and about five play where Coker was in shotgun and handed the ball to Henry. McElroy commented that all five QBs are more comfortable in shotgun than they are under center (makes sense because the majority of high school offenses are under center). Therefore, I suspect we'll do more of that.

Saban made the comment yesterday about using two tight-ends more now that Nudie is gone and specifically named OJ and Ty Flournoy-Smith as the two players.

Would not be surprised to see Alabama run a similar type offense to that of the Patriots -- good use of the passing game by incorporating the tight ends to go along with the wide receivers while maintaining a solid rushing attack.

Just make sure to keep the right amount of air in the football!

Lane Kiffin will make Kenyan Drake a lot of money this year. Dark horse Heisman candidate.
