easier said than done
I agree totally. What the author said was accurate, but most teams can't do this on a regular basis. Our players are better athletes and coached better. You will find equal athletes on many teams, but not in the numbers needed to play us on equal footing. Chad Kelly is a great QB. He will get a chance to start on Sundays, but he didn't have enough talent around him. LF is an incredible back, but he doesn't have a QB that can stress the Bama defense enough to give him running room. I did think it was a good idea to move the QB as much as possible and vary the drops. It won't help much, but it might give him another second or two.Easier said than done.
If an offense had the capability to be that dynamic and still be productive, they'd already be doing that every week and not just for Bama's Defense.
The goal for every offense is to keep the defense guessing, back on their heels, thinking instead of reacting. The problem with facing Bama's D is that the talent is good enough to beat you more often than not even when they're having to stop and think for a split second.
I especially like the bit about the 10 step dropI understand why he advocates trying to be totally unpredictable and run a bunch of gimmick plays. Problem is when they don't work and get blown up, you're going 3 and out over and over again and you're buried by the time the 1st quarter is over. It's a boom or bust strategy against almost any team, but especially Alabama.
Yes, please turn that 5 yard loss into a 15 yard loss for us. I don't recommend it, but stupid is as stupid does.I especially like the bit about the 10 step drop
Go ahead and try this, I dare you. hahahahahahaha

I would also add make Alabama kick FGs of 30+ yards.Harsh reality - to beat this Alabama defense your QB needs to have an out of body experience. The way to beat Alabama is to stop the offense and hope to win a 10-9 type of game.
