They all do it. You listen to saban talk and he will give percentages of what the other team will do in almost every situation

Hopefully they can learn clock-management

How can they when all they have to do is press the start button

This is BS. The Tigers coaching staff needs to quit worrying about what the other team does and focus more on what they are going to do to other teams.


I laughed

No, but there was a flaw in the game where if you threw screen to the running back and he was tackled in bounds late in the game, and timeouts remaining, the game would automatically give you the timeout and stop the clock.

See? That explains while Miles and Crowton didn't think they needed to actually signal it to the refs!
im guessing, in that game, the clock doesn't stop on change of possession either... That's why he thought he needed to call a time out after that interception.....

So now does that mean all the coaches' apologists have to stop using that idiotic "it's not like play station" argument against anyone who criticizes the coaches for being too conservative?

so EA can sell our "secret playbook" if they wanted to?


I doubt anyone would buy it. All you have to do is watch LSU for three possessions and you have the whole playbook...all nine plays.

Sounds like a great evolution from the old chalk board. It probably is really neat to see the many variations for every game situation. I would think this should greatly speed up learning weekly assignments from coaches scouting reports.


Even though it sounds cool it also just seems so funny.

My biggest complaint about Crowton is that he CALLS plays like a video game. He inserts and removes players with little regard of the momentum or feel of the game, who has the "hot hand" and so forth. I, for one, find this disturbing.

Other teams are probably hacking into the server and getting the playbook.

Well most of the guys on here claiming to know everything about football get all of their info from video games, so maybe this could help Crowton?

It's part of Crowton's scheme. You see, the defense will expect our best players to play, what better way to throw the defense off guard then by not playing our best players at all?

These ratings are way off. Miles's halftime interviews with Wolfson are the truth.

I wonder if his version also gets negative yards for the shortside option.
