🏈 Lane Kiffin on Bama's GW TD

I call BS on that. Would the play called Seattle still be there after those coaches left. That means Kirby would know it too.

You can't change a playbook when a coach leaves. You can run multiple patterns from a single alignment. Most people watching probably thought Alabama would try to get in position to kick a field goal and extend the game. Alabama ran it to perfection.

Play is still there. All about defending it. Do you recall the year Saban brought Rohan Davey and LSU in to Bryant Denny and he threw for like a half a million yards? They ran the same 2 pass plays the entire game!!! They were called "Cab and Cadillac".

Coach Homer Smith had what we called Lorraine in his playbook. It was a layer route with an underneath crosser, a 18-20 yard dig route, and a post over the top. The names may or may not change. Still the same routes.

Yes I Know the playbook is there but would think the new oc would have a different name .

Seattle is a common play that numerous teams run. Georgia just didn't defend and Tua made a throw that 95% of the QB's would not even try.

Most NFL Qb's do not like throwing the "rail" on that play.

Not always! Remember that it is Saban's offense and that the OC often must adjust his terminology to fit the kids and system already in place. New OC just gets to add a few wrinkles.

The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Georgia Bulldogs in overtime on Monday to win the College Football National Championship yet again, and for those who missed it on social media, they did it on a play named “Seattle.”

Whether there is any significance to the nomenclature behind the play’s name, I am uncertain, as it is not uncommon for plays to be named after cities. However, the playbook pages do demonstrate a couple of items that have been asked about in the comments section over the past few months regarding regarding dynamic routes for receivers and hot routes.

First, however, here are the pages directly out of the Alabama playbook.

Well I stand corrected. Sorry

 

[UAgrad93]

Seattle=Streaks

OCs often give it a name to coincide with the routes being run. When I was coachig QBs and helping our new HC/OC install our no huddle offense, I sat the QBs down and we used signals that coincided with the play call.
For example, "Boston" was a "bubble screen" and to help te QBs, I would slap my butt cheek for that play. Boston= boston butt
Georgia was a guard trap. I hiked my leg like a bulldog! Texas was a tackle trap, thus I gave the "hook 'em horns" sign.

Coach Smith had Lorraine along with Lakeland and Rivertown and about 250+ more pages to his playbook. Lakeland and Rivertown were HB screens to the left and to the right. We have to remember that we aren't always working with future rocket scientists. At least that was what Coach Smith always told us!

It's all good. It's what a discussion is for.

We are all on the same team. :rtrsign: brother!

 

[ChemE]

Every team has multiple vertical routes. My HS team called in "all 9's" Just the name for a particular execution, not necessarily the same exact play that Lane ran at Bama.

 

[RollllTide!]

I wish some of you "Experts" would post some more plays and their nicknames. Also what the hold up signs mean. I love that stuff.

Yea and it is new knowledge for someone that grew up knowing right 32 or left 69

This statement speaks volumes...

Herrington also believes that Alabama’s offense suits White’s abilities after talking with new quarterbacks coach Dan Enos.

“Talking to the coaches at Alabama, I think they want a quarterback who is going to go through his progressions — 1, 2, 3, 4 — and not a guy who is going to look at his first option and if he’s not open take off and run,” Herrington said. “A lot of college quarterbacks do that nowadays. I think Alabama is the perfect offense for Brevin’s skill set.

I'll knock off the dust of Coach Smith's '89 playbook and post a few pages from it. Simply mindblowing but common sense as well when you just take a moment and look. I learned A LOT of football from that man.

As far as those big poster boards go, I would venture to guess that only 1 of the 4 pictures is "live", either giving the formation, tempo, or play.

Exactly.

Media folks in lab coats tested double blind to try and analyze Saban's Rip/Liz match concepts.

It's just Right and Left offensive alignment as the defense see it.

 

[RollllTide!]

I hear that they have lip readers with binoculars to try and figure out the next play. That is why you see them cover their mouths sometimes.
