While the fake punt was not directly called by Miles, he did give Wing the green light to do it when the coverage allowed for it. I doubt that every coach would give a freshman that opportunity.
The fake punt by Wing was not what I would call trickery. It was smart, opportunistic football. If a coach wouldn't give the green light to a freshman punter it means one of two things. The coaching staff hasn't taken the time to teach the punter how to recognize the situation and take advantage of it or freshman shouldn't be on the field at all.
I would love to see the honeybadger run the triple option/ read option. You know he would draw attention like no other. Every linebacker would bite on the honeybadger and give the ball to the dive back.
The only play that would work with the HB is a double reverse flea-flicker hook and latter option keep. Other then that play only it would be best to keep him on the sideline.
I think he plays the perfect position now, with awesome (exhibited) potential as a punt returner. This team shouldn't have any offensive problems next year other than keeping all the offensive skill players busy. TM7 is at his perfect position IMO.
Put the Honey Badger on Offense when we need Saban to blow a time out, then return Honey Badger to Defense where he belongs. He would be a great decoy for that purpose alone, but I am a believer that the coaches have the players at their best positions to help the team. IF the Honey Badger was better than RR, R Shepard, ODBJr, J Landry, Ware, Ford, Hilliard.......... we would see him on Offense. There has to be a reason he stays on Defense and returns kicks......... oh yeah, that's right, it is because he is a better defensive player.
