I also think that all of Bama's late defensive checks from the sidelines cause a lot of confusion when the opposing team is going fast. Lots, and lots of motion, and quick to the line teams leave Bama coaches having spasms on the sidelines trying to adjust Bama's scheme.

They out-athlete everyone, I don't understand why they don't just simplify a little for these type schemes.

I am sad with the lack of alabama response to my query.

They are typically quick to point out that our program and fans are obsessed with them, though it is difficult to reconcile that sentiment with the brand of football that we are currently playing (for better or worse.)

Because Nick is into total control. Simplifying things would relinquish that control; it then places the game in the hands of the players.

Saban might have the best physical specimens on the field, but they might not be the smartest (not saying that, I really don't know). If that's the case, then what is a dominant team with time to line up and call plays and adjustments, becomes a disaster when they have to figure out what to do themselves against a no-huddle. Even if they aren't dummies, being reliant on sideline guidance most of the time will have an effect when they do have to cut the cord against teams moving fast.
