That quote right there .... that is why I generally don't read past your first sentence. Crowton doesn't know basic offense? Hyperbole much? :lol:
What? :insane: Teams must option to both sides, not just to the wide side. Defenses are smarter than that. Furthermore sometimes the short side is the strong side. Offense is not as easy as "run to the wide side." I think Crowton knows quite a bit about offense. I ain't sure about some others around here.
True but pitching it to a RB five yards deep does not equal an off tackle play to the "short side". Old saying about sideline being an extra defensive player...it's really much more like 2 or 3.
True, I just think that its far more complex than short and wide. Some lines just block better to one side and thats still their best side, even when it's the short side. And top SEC defenses will not let anybody get away with consistently favoring the wide side. Any tendency can be exploited.
It is. Another thing, possibly, is a QB's level of comfort pitching it with either hand as opposed to maybe only being comfortable with his dominant hand. Should that be moving to the "short side" then it could factor in also. Seems like most college QB's could comfortably make a pitch either way though so not sure how huge of a factor it is in reality.
What would you think of that statement if we switched it up for a second and said this about Oregon: Jeremiah Masoli, not Mark Helfrich, should be blamed for the offensive issues. Wouldn't hold much water imo. Miles is about to find himself in yet another "situation" with QB's since our only two scholarship QB's are gone after NEXT season. What will you say then?
ugghh... that would be Miles' fault; Saban never tried to recruit Periloser, he was recruiting Colt McCoy; Miles' was going after a troubled kid from the beginning; bad choice in my opinion
