I read the comment early this morning. I had to go back and check where I had been reading to find it. It was an article up on T-town sports and the comment is credited to Alem though the title of the article is about Pittman.
Given my description/evaluation of Alem (I consider him a pass rush guy) I interpret that comment as one where he's facing the TE on the LOS. In that case, he's right.
One thing you may have noticed that I briefly mentioned in the odds and ends post from last night is the use of the TE/HE in our offense this season. We've used it in spot occasions in a few games, but only had it in our "game plan" in two games so far; Clemson and Georgia.
I expect to see it brought out again this week 3-4 times at least. There's a handful of other "wrinkles" this team has worked on for weeks on end I still haven't seen called by the offense. I've seen the set, I've seen the same type movement but haven't seen those plays. (yeah, I've gotten a bit excited seeing the set only to end up saying "damn, I thought it was coming there."
I'm wondering how much McElwain is going to dig into what have in the book this week. If it isn't needed, I'll be left waiting at least a month.
FWIW, same goes for our defensive packages...but I'd be willing to bet a handful of those come this weekend.
