re: Ware and the WEIRD-CAT

I expect we will. We've seen Ware run, we've seen him pitch to Ford. We haven't seen him hand off to Shepard on the jet sweep, which is in the play by design (Shep goes in motion). We also have seen Ware throw fairly accurately on a few passes, so we know that might be in the play too. A quick slant to Landry or Beckham on short yard plays at midfield, with the defense cheating in on the runs would be a logical choice, and a good shot at a TD.

Now, my pick would be to run the pass before the jet sweep, to muddle the defense more. Then come back with Shep once you have them on their heels.

Knowing the base offense struggles in the redzone, where things have to be quick into close coverage, and knowing Bama plays like a redzone defense most of the time (they don't think you have the time to run a slow developing play against them, so they don't play back), we might see more Ware QB plays then you'd expect.

Depends on our o-line; Bama will play the run and the quick slant. If Mett has time to look deep consistently, then the line is holding up, and he's ok. If he doesn't, he's at risk for a couple pick-sixes on those slants, and Miles might buy time by playing the Ware offense more, if just to be able to punt and play his own defense in better shape.
