Gideon is 100% on point there. Only argument is what if Milroe breaks it off right tackle and those guys on the receivers can rally to him rather than being caught respecting a real football action like screen.

Absolutely. The fake WR screen accomplishes a couple of things that are far better than a fake jump shot:

If one of the WRs takes a jab step at the DB covering him, then steps back behind the LOS as if preparing for the screen it:
1. Causes the DBs to sprint up, which will take them out of position if the QB breaks through the line or around the end on the sneak
2. Causes the DBs to sprint up and it'll be easier to fake that and take a deep shot the next time

So, yes, something like a fake screen is definitely better, but the WRs are still trying to accomplish the same thing, while having more...fun?.

Hard to believe anyone could type this and be serious.

I can’t believe everyone is mad because a couple of wideouts faked jump shots on a quarterback sneak? Anyone getting upset over it is living a sad and pathetic life. Bunch of losers who’ve probably never played a down of football getting mad at some players doing what they were told. Of all the things to be upset about, yall pick this?
If this thread wasn’t so stupid, it would be hilarious.

Apples and oranges. One has a purpose, the other does not. But I shouldn’t expect anyone that would post something as stupid as your response to understand that.

I didn’t expect you to understand sarcasm. You’re mad at a fake jump shot on a quarterback sneak lol.
Bet you’re fun at parties

That was one of the most embarrassing moments in Bama football history. Then again, I am only 74.

Having to fire a coach for using University money at a strip club< having wide receivers faking a jump shot on a quarterback sneak.
This is the funniest thread I’ve ever read.

Everyone knows the best play to play action fake off of is the uncontested jump shot

I’m going to be serious now. I should have read the crowd better by the comments on this thread. I’m actually a big fan of the play action. I think we should actually run it more. I should’ve known better than to use sarcasm on a thread where everyone is upset about fake jump shots. Once again my apologies
