My point remains, no reason to credit their offense when they don't play good defenses.But that is because they do not have a defense themselves.

Does anyone know the ratio of designed runs to sacks/scrambles? Also, I wonder how many runs are called for him and how many are options where Jalen reads it and calls his own number?Personally I'd like to stick with the pro set. A team can still run tempo running a pro style offense. A team can still sprinkle in designed QB runs in a pro set. I'd just prefer it not be our QB running 17 times in a game. The pro set allows for all the talent to be used and we've got talent galore at the skilled positions. I'm afraid if we continue having our QB be the lion's share of our offense it will have trickle down into recruiting and begin to hurt us at the WR and RB position.
I will add this though. It doesn't matter what offense we're running. The inconsistency at the LOS has to be fixed, regardless of what style offense we run. Our offensive line hasn't been the same since the Notre Dame national title game. I want to get back to having physical, nasty offensive lines. If we would have simply had that Saturday and ran the exact same plays, we would have won. Keep in mind, Auburn beat us with three players on offense. THREE PLAYERS!!!! All because their OL controlled the LOS for most of the game. It begins and ends there.
I honestly don't favor one offense over another as long as it is productive and helps the defense by sustaining drives and getting points. My point of contention has been if our staff is committed to Hurts then adjust the offense to fit his skill set; don't try to remake him into Tom Brady let him play his game and give him the tools to run it. If you want a Tom Brady type QB then find the best pro style QB coming out of high school this year and sign him. This is up to CNS who will make the decision.
I don't remember the ratio, but there were too many designed runs for sure. Frankly, I'll bet Jalen does not average 4 yards on designed runs. Most of his yardage comes on scrambles away from getting sacked.Does anyone know the ratio of designed runs to sacks/scrambles?

It's hard to be physical when you have to practice bumping this guy on your way to the second level of the defense so you can cut block this guy to make the lane for the back to cut into. The counter plays and the plays to the left we ran with some success were power plays, push this guy backwards until he falls down or the whistle blows. I'm not sure if a mean streak can be taught.Personally I'd like to stick with the pro set. A team can still run tempo running a pro style offense.

He came here because it was promised he would be prepared for the next level of play.I honestly don't favor one offense over another as long as it is productive and helps the defense by sustaining drives and getting points.

With all due respect, Hurts may play in the NFL but unless he makes dramatic improvement in his QB skills it won't be at QB.He came here because it was promised he would be prepared for the next level of play.

I didn't make the promise, it's just been repeated in his recruiting thread that he would be prepared for the NFL.With all due respect, Hurts may play in the NFL but unless he makes dramatic improvement in his QB skills it won't be at QB.
I don't know, but if he's pulling it down and running when there are open receivers, guess who will be unhappy???Does anyone know the ratio of designed runs to sacks/scrambles? Also, I wonder how many runs are called for him and how many are options where Jalen reads it and calls his own number?
Not following your reasoning. It's not their offense that makes the defense bad. In our tendency to go "hurry up no huddle but stand at the line and don't snap it fast" we could literally do that with any offensive scheme and it shouldn't impact our defense negatively.My point remains, no reason to credit their offense when they don't play good defenses.
This every day and twice on Sunday!!! Mow 'em down don't dance around!!!It's hard to be physical when you have to practice bumping this guy on your way to the second level of the defense so you can cut block this guy to make the lane for the back to cut into.

Right. It shouldn't be RRRRRRRRPO, no matter what the reason for the number of "R"s is...Simply put, you have the personnel for a pro-set offense, and a pro-set offense gives you the best chance to leverage ALL of the talent on your roster rather than a small subset of that talent. Literally every player on the field is a threat on every play when running a pro-set offense. Think your offense with AJ at QB.
RPO offenses are for teams with lesser personnel who need to overcome a talent gap with deceit. Alabama has superior talent. At Alabama, the RPO should be an optional play run every once and again, not as an overall offensive philosophy.
I've only coached basketball, but it seems to me that my players got injured more when they were really tired and I wasn't subbing enough early in my coaching. That being said, our inability to stay on the field whether it be three play drives or three and out drives have contributed to our increased amount of injuries on Defense. Just my opinion. I've felt this way since the CLK days.Right. It shouldn't be RRRRRRRRPO, no matter what the reason for the number of "R"s is...
Agree. Seems it's time Bama went back to being Bama instead of trying to jump onto whatever is the latest trend. There's nothing wrong with being a power running team.Right. It shouldn't be RRRRRRRRPO, no matter what the reason for the number of "R"s is...
