re: What do you guys think about the "Jalen" packages?

I doubt defensive coordinators are spending a ton of time how to stop Jalen Hurts as a slot receiver or on a toss sweep. I get that he could take a handoff then pass, but that's a "standard" trick play that every team prepares for - don't leave your man until the runner crosses the LOS.

That's the beauty of it, a minuscule amount of prep vs the trick plays Bama has already shown.

The play that will matter from that formation will not be put on tape until they need it, forcing defense to play it based off what they've seen so far.
