re: Your thoughts on Bama's offense after game 1
Posted by BamaAlum97 on 9/5/17 at 2:51 pm to Eli Goldfinger
My thoughts...
O-line needs some work. Could just need more game reps and improved calls at the line.
Jalen...TBD. Looked better at times...looked the same at times.
Daboll...Still wondering how he will turn out as a play caller. Was not impressed with the red zone calls.
Running game never really got established.
Super tough opponent, so it is hard to say 100% on any of them.

re: Are we in a bad QB situation
Posted by BamaAlum97 on 1/11/17 at 7:53 am to SirHoyle
I don't think we are in a bad QB situation.
Once Hurts won the job, it is obvious that any and all upperclassmen QB's were going to transfer.
Hurts is/was a true freshman and he passed like a true freshman. He telegraphed a lot of throws. He misses some read. His accuracy was inconsistent on short/medium passes and non-existent on long passes. All of these things can and will be improved with time, coaching, and reps.
The good news is...the rest of his game was very un-freshman like. He was calm, showed poise, had the respect and attention of his teammates. All wonderful things. Oh, and he runs the ball like a running back.
I would like to see Tua red-shirt a year...have 1-2 years to back up hurts, and then be the man.
We'll obviously need to add some additional depth, but I think the future at QB is as bright as it has ever been for Bama.

There were just as many WR drops as overthrown passes.
I agree that we shouldn't have game planned to drop passes and miss open receivers.
Yes, there were some questionable calls and yes, the offensive game plan was somewhat conservative. But we had scored and had the lead late in game.
I am proud of this team. I am not blaming the refs or the coaches or the players.
We got beat. We got beat by a really good team with really good players. We out-athlete about 80% of the teams we see. With the other 20%, we are usually just better prepared and execute better. Sometimes, the other team plays well too and we lose. With the run that we are on, and that I expect to continue...I can deal with this. The sun is up this morning.

It's almost not worth recruiting elite guys there for fear of having major depth issues.
They all competed...didn't win the job, and realize they are not likely to see more than mop up duty for their careers at Bama. Pretty easy decision for an elite QB.
I wish them all well and success. QB's in the next class will have the opportunity to see the field...especially if you consider a redshirt year.
It's really tough at the moment, but it is refreshing to see a time at Bama where elite QBs are not on the field because they didn't beat out another elite QB.
re: Will Sark be the new OC?

I think it is highly likely. He has had 3 months to show his stuff and to demonstrate some off-field stability. He knows the players, the terminology, etc...

I understand it. They want to play and baring injury, it is not likely to happen at Bama.

re: do you think Clemson would be offered a spot if SEC expanded again
Posted by BamaAlum97 on 12/7/16 at 11:22 am to Tillman
I think, much like A&M, Clemson would be a good fit in the SEC. However, I doubt it ever happens. A&M brought Texas into the footprint and that was a big deal. S. Carolina is already represented and I think they would push back pretty hard on Clemson being admitted.
NC State or Va Tech are more likely even though they are less of a SEC fit. Precedent is already set to allow teams in that don't fit...see Missouri as exhibit A. That decision still puzzles me.

Not so sure that Auburn has that much of a pulse...
OU is a good team. Their offense is pretty legit. They can run and pass with pretty good effectiveness.
The Auburn D should be able to match up pretty well, but the key will be if Gus and company can commit to an offensive game plan. Auburn will need a healthy Pettway and avoid turnovers.
Gus on the sidelines is easily worth 7-10 points in favor of OU.

re: Why WASHINGTON can beat Alabama

This will be my first trip to Arizona. Where can I find the best nachos in town? I think this will be a fun game and hope nobody gets hurt. It's a shame we have to knock Bama out of the semis since they deserve to get to play in the title game. Here are my five reasons UW wins:
1. Jack "Cobra" Browning - He is the best player on the field, enough said on that. He has two years of college and four years of high school under his belt and he will do everything possible to win the game.
2. Offensive Line - They average a weight of 332 lbs across the line, they are ready to dominate the line of scrimmage. Addams, Bronte, Center, Jake Emptmankamp, The MacGary etc. These boys have the attitude and are ready to rumble.
3. Kawasaki - New Defensive Scheme and a new attitude. Every player has spoke out about the difference between the defense against Wazzu and Colorado, we will see a much improved defense on New Years.
4. Speed, Speed, Speed - This is the fastest UW team has been in a long time. John Ross IX, Charlie McClutchins, Tyler Rappe, Ben Ossai, Buttah Baker, Psalm "fire god" Wooching, Virta Vea etc. The newbies will be inexperienced but they and J R Threezy will bring something Bama haven't seen this year.. speed.
5. Time of Possession - I think UW can dominate the time of possession stat. The more they can shorten the game and keep their defense off of the field, the better chance they have to win the game.
I think UW wins rather easily, say 34-17?
Props on the quality troll-job. I needed a good chuckle this morning. Upvote delivered...

He's a work in progress. QB was a big question mark at the beginning of the season. I am very happy with his poise and demeanor during games. His reading of the defense and execution at times make it obvious that he is a true freshman.
I don't think there is another QB on our roster who would have us at 13-0 right now.

So then you understand that he cannot make or assist in "halftime adjustments"(i.e. tactical decisions) under that rule, it's still game day participation.
As that's what the poster from BOL is inferring, which is a violation under NCAA rule...
Maybe Kiffin was relieved of his duties at halftime...Sark was formerly hired. Then they switched it all back at the start of the 3rd quarter. # of coaches never actually changed. :)

As an analyst, Sarkisian can watch film of games and practice and provide input on the overall direction of the team, including the game plan. He is, however, not allowed to have a hands-on coaching role, interacting with players on the football field.
He is not allowed to :
(b) Makes or assists in making tactical decisions related to the sport during on-court or on-field practice or competition
Would making a suggestion about the second half game plan be allowed versus calling or suggesting specific play call?
re: What does Sark do differently than Kiff?
Posted by BamaAlum97 on 12/1/16 at 11:19 am to Triple Daves
Regardless of who the OC is next year, I think the play calling next year will be different.
Having a true freshman at QB this year has limited the play calling. Hurts has had his issues with down the field passes and ball security. You have to believe that improves over the off-season and gives him access to more of the playbook.

the Kirby thing last year did not go very smoothly, and Saban doesn't trust Kiffin like he trusted Kirby.
We didn't have a "defensive analyst" on board for most of the season last year that was ready to step up in case of a Kirby departure.
I don't think Kiffin leaving this year surprises anyone. Maybe the timing...but it looks as if Saban has a plan for the timing. It's nice to have a "In case of emergency - Break Glass" OC in the plan.
