🏈 I hope they will let Ingram

[doemasters]

Start throwing the ball out of the wildcat, I was shocked they didn't toss it over with no one covering McElroy

 

[rick4bama]

When McElroy was wide open?

 

[doemasters]

Yes

 

[bamadezz]

I don't know, that was already a scary enough moment, my heart would have stopped if they'd tried that then! anic: McElroy was wide open though...

 

[doemasters]

I didn't want him to throw it then either but we need to a few times to make people have to at least cover him

For sure, with a decent throw and catch that was 6 points all day long.

Didn't Ingram say last year that they let him throw it ONCE in practice and it didn't go well? For that reason, he probably won't be throwing it again.

the guy is a great bowler, golfer and running back, I can't imagine him not being able to throw a football.

certainly didn't seem like they knew Greg wasn't covered.

Didn't we see Ingram toss one in the endzone last season? I know I remember seeing him make a throw, just not sure to who, the throw was incomplete but wasn't terrible it just looked rushed.

he threw it on a Tailback Pass, G-Mac tossed it to him and then he lobbed a lame duck to Julio lol it wasnt an AWFUL throw but just too far out of reach for Julio to get. not sure what game it was tho.

we def. have GOT to throw out of that Wildcat at some point. as we saw this week, teams are starting to just not cover McElroy at all.

 

[joeman546]

i think maze could throw it though, he said something about playing qb in highschool and we had him run the formation like twice.

we could have ingram swing around before the snap, fake a hand off to him, and probably be the first team to ever run playaction wildcat effectively

Next year, get ready for Blake Sims to be the utility guy.

Maze was a "do-everything" player at Tarrant High. Like you Doe, I didn't want him to throw it. Sometimes though, you gotta make people believe that you will make them pay for leaving someone uncovered.

As for being 6 points all day long. I don't think McElroy would've scored at all. I love Greg but no way he outruns the Arky D.

 

[LBS]

Arkansas game last year provedthe value of having GMac out there, but if Mark is not going to pass and there is not enough room for a deep pass threat via flee flicker, meaning that they have no intention to pass and everyone knows, then they would be better served by pullings every skill position player other that Mark and going all Jumbo.

...I don't think McElroy would've scored at all. I love Greg but no way he outruns the Arky D.

I have to agree. If Richardson couldn't outrun them at the end of the first half, no way McElroy does. He could have gotten a good 20 or 30 yards, though.

 

[UAgrad93]

The Arky defenders had the angle on Trent. If not, he scores no doubt. I'd give Greg 20-30 yards on a reception to ice the game.

Yep, exactly right. The game we tried it was against Auburn, and if it were only a slightly better toss it was 6 points all day.

 

[joeman546]

I was thinking t hrow it to greg, let him get a first down and slide.

i dont think hed outrun the arky d either, but he couldve had an easy game winning first down.

 

[GivinEmTheBusiness]

Yet another reason why GMac should be on the sideline while they're in the High Tide. If Norwood or Alexander had been lined up at WR it's obvious they would have had someone covering them instead of focusing on the run on an obvious run.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Later in the season, I wouldn't be shocked to see them in the backfield together in some special situations... but it isn't something that is going to happen often. Saban likes keeping one of them fresh at all times so they can rotate and keep the chains moving.
