Xs and Os...video...not words....

[JR4AU]

Not for all fans. I remember every dreadful second of those terrible years and I hope we can continue our recent success.

Curious coach, did you watch the posted video?  Did you see a breakdown of he same reverse play over and over?

[JR4AU]

Pretty basic if you ask me. This was really nothing more than elementary football. This guy did nothing but dissect the reverse. Of course that is why the reverse works...it is why people have been running it for 30 years. There is a lot more (hopefully) to Malzhan's offense than the reverse play...

Not sure which video you watched...it also said at the beginning "a FEW plays"

Plays:

1.  46 Power with Z deep motion (FAKE Reverse)  Gain 5+ yds.

2.  Same Play, different game, Gain 10+

3.  Play Action Pass off the same look and motion, TD pass to a WR that had nobody within 5 yards of him, followed by a breakdown of how the LB and S were completely fooled.  I guess the fact that the guy that produced this video could only make "sloppy arrows" on someone elses video completely invalidates it.

4.  Fake Dive, Play Action Pass to a clearly wide open Fannin in the flat.  Not well executed on the pass, so I guess that means that the Xs and Os of it are not any good.  We all know that all good plays work 100% of the time.

5.  47 Power, (to the left), this time Todd and RB fake the speed option on the backside, completely fooling the LB, resulting in a 60 yd TD run.

6.  Dive fake, then option action...NOW WE FINALLY SEE THE REVERSE THAT SOME SAW ON EVERY PLAY...result...65 yd TD where T Zack went untouched for almost 30 yards. 

7.  Play starts right on our standard Buck Sweep look (including both pulling guards), REVERSE to Fannin goes for about 18 yards, Saban livid because, again, our rinky dink HS offense has his super duper defense on their heels.

8.  Wildcat, Jet Sweep Fake (this is NOT a reverse), Play Action Pass for a TD to a wide open TE. 

Now a little breakdown of Malzahn's Tempo, and his Quick Huddle/Quick Snap tactic. 

9.  Play Action Pass, from under center, gain @ 8 yards to Fannin...NEXT PLAY...

10.  We bring in a Guard to run at FB (really selling the run), but since he's not as fat at Mt. Cody, nobody made a huge deal out of it, and we run another Play Action Pass, and the bite on it leaves 2 AU receivers on one bammer defender for a TD.

11.  One more Play Action Pass from under center off a quick huddle and snap...40 plus yard gain. 

Out of 11 plays, 2 were reverses.  But since we didn't win an NC, then it really doesn't matter.  I'm sure I'll be called a "know it all" too.

I liked it. Gave me some ideas for my 12/13 yr old team in the fall.

We have plenty of "know it alls" on this forum, Mr. Know It All.

2003 Alabama Team Record

2004 Alabama Team Record

2006 Alabama Team Record

2007 Alabama Team Record

One could only hope

2001 Alabama Team Record

2000 Alabama Team Record
3-8 (Only wins were to Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, & South Carolina - ouch)

1998 Alabama Team Record
7-5

1997 Alabama Team Record
4-7

8/12 of the last years (that's 3/4 for bammers who took remedial math), Alabama has had an equal or worse record than we just did. 5/12 (one game shy of half) have been losing seasons.

In other words, get to jumping.

Make sure it's a window on a top floor of a very tall building.

HUH?

He is hoping to pass Algrebraic Conections at Prattville High this fall. 

You gotta set your goals a little lofty.

[AUChizad]

2/3rds.

Assholes.

I fully deserve it with the "Remedial Math" comment.

Mrs. Ross is crying......

8/12 doesn't equal 3/4?

[AUChizad]

See? You would have taken my word for it, if boartiz hadn't come and fucked everything up with his red pen...

Dude...I didn't attack you. I just said it was basic. And, it was pretty much the same play, with different variations. The motion from the WR with some plays being the dive, some being the PA pass, and some being the reverse.

Yes, it did talk about the huddle up too. I forgot that part. I actaully didn't realize Isom was in the back field. That was pretty cool.

I still think it is pretty basic. It was not a huge break down of the offense. The same point could have been taken away from saying, "misdirection in the back field fucks LB's up". Yes it does. It is what misdirection and motions do to defenses. The same thing could be said about the triple option...

Thanks for the gift, you're very kind.

I did not see the same play. What I did notice is his offense reminds me of the option kinda. Everyone must do their job and handle their responsibility. I could be wrong on how to defend it but that is how I would attack it. I would also try to read through the OTs not the OGs. JMTC.

Maybe you can understand why I corrected you, or "attacked you" as you call it.
