Lot's of good reads in today's RBR Jumbo Package

78Alum · Nov 9, 2017

I really enjoyed reading the Jumbo Package over on RollBamaRoll today. Is Bama a year ahead of schedule? You owe it to yourself to click on the article about Daboll's menu of offense plays.

In case you don't want to go through all of the info in the Jumbo Package, here is the link to the article on Daboll's offense "menu": http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/i..._offense_is_like_a.html#incart_social_feature

Good read thanks, seems we still have some plays we have not seen yet. Good to know we have plays for just about any type of defense we face. I guess we will see how it works this week against MSU. Hopefully it works well and we get out with a good win.

That's about what I hoped to read. It's just that given those schemes/concepts, I thought we'd have a bit more success against LSU.

I still can't completely dismiss Saban getting conservative once he realized LSU wasn't going to be much of a threat.

That's one thing that kind of bugs me about Saban. He seems to get a little too comfortable and too conservative a little too quickly sometimes.

I'd rather we not take our foot off the pedal unless and until we're up by at least four scores with less than 20 minutes to go in the game.

I think you're exactly right. My dad and I were talking about this yesterday. It's one of the very few things he doesn't like about how Saban handles the "flow" of the game sometimes. LSU game is a perfect example. There's no doubt in my mind (and my dad's of course LOL) the moment CNS was comfortable with his thought that they couldn't move the ball on us. The offense geared down to the "Don't lose the game" gear. There were A LOT of plays left in the playbook that I've seen us run this season that weren't even attempted. I think Saban was just as content (once we got a lead) to dial it down and punt.

What I like about what you guys above me are saying is that Coach Daboll and Coach Saban are on the same page and Coach Daboll isn't trying to pull any crazy stunts on the sideline like Kiffin.

My pet peeve with Nick is the victory kneel down when we are inside the 10 late in game. I know it is not good sport but when up by 10-15 lets tack on another 7 if you can. Not saying pass it deep when up big. But running it 2 times instead of taking knee 2 times would not be bad. get that red zone offense some more practice punching it in. My opinion is you should try to score every time you get the ball. If up by 20 plus, okay take a knee. But up by 10 or so why kneel 2 time, at least let a back up running back give it one - two shots. Can he get the 5-10 yards when they know it is coming. That is not running it up that is playing to the end, just as he always tells the team to do. Defense is expected to fight to last secomd, why not offense if the game is still fairly close. If we are up by 30 put in full 3rd string and still try to score, those guys need the practice also.

I agree that Saban does seem to go ultra conservative when he feels the defense can control the opposing teams offense.
I actually think there’s a purpose for why he does this. Leading up to the LSU game he repeatedly talked about how Bama had not yet faced adversity during a game so far this season and that all teams needed to face it at some point during the season to see how the players react to it.
My theory is Saban, thinking that LSU’s offense couldn’t score enough points on our defense to win, intentionally geared down our offense to manufacture some adversity so he could evaluate how the players responded to it after the game while watching the film.

that's all fine and good until the ball gets stripped and run back for a td

I disagree. If the game is locked up take the knee and get out of there with the W. I've never been a fan of running it up.
