In short yardage situations?

We could have motioned a WR and used a RB as another option near him to carry or lead block.

Because that would be what a competent OC would do…scheme …. and we have BOB.

Look who we got as an offensive coordinator.

Really disappointed in Nick Saban

Well, two reasons. The first he's not a very powerful blocker, and not exactly a power back either (although strong for his slight build). The second being he was playing with an injured shoulder coming into the game. He aggravated it within the opening series when he was slung down on it. It's a credit to him that he's fighting through whatever it is (maybe just a bad bruise, who knows).

Why haven’t you seen a simple reverse in two years?

That would require a fraction of imagination.

When was the last time we did anything creative? A reverse, flea-flicker, oh sh*t play.

I’m not saying we need a gimmick offense but those things have been in our playbook for years and they’ve disappeared the last two seasons.

Jim McElwain beat Steve Spurrier in 2009 when he went all in with the wildcat on that memorable 4th quarter drive.

at the poster who suggester McElwain and BoB were basically equal. I'd have given my left nut to have had McElwain running the offense in Baton Rouge.

What a unique, innovative, and imaginative idea.

Wow.

You should let Saban know ASAP.

Any offensive questions as to what or why, have 1 simple answer. Bill O’brien
