Well, that might be somewhat understandable, if we weren't doing the meerkat, and struggling with getting our calls or personnel in consistently over the past 5 years. Kind of oxymoronic, isn't it?

Come to think of it. Kind of explains us perfectly. Miles doesn't care about breaking down the opposing D, but spends time staring back and forth before running the play he's already called.

Even teams that don't match up physically with us have managed to use scheme to their advantage over the years. For those teams that do match up, the recipe is simple. Make them play pitch and catch. We can't do it.

That's my main beef with the offense, the "philosophy" is fine, but you have to use scheme to create advantage, you can't expect every player to win every play. This is really the only difference in Bama's offense and LSU's, they do a good job of using motion to create a mis-match, or using the little pick play to create an open receiver, or crossing routes, screens, etc. Those plays aren't complex, but have little elements that put players in better position to make plays.
