Great video! I’ve seen by this concept run by Green Bay this year. I love it. Bama definitely runs this as an RPO, but I almost feel like you’re never wrong by throwing it every time as a designed fast screen. I’m not coaching yet, but if I’m running a scheme that includes a decent amount of read option/RPO stuff there might be some value in having a handful of plays that allows your QB to turn his brain off for a second and focus only on getting a quick accurate ball out to a playmaker in space
I think you are right. Could easily be a call to just throw the bubble. I think that the game is definite evolving back to less reads for the QB's or simpler reads for the QB in the RPO game. RPO's are great but the top offenses in CFB rarely have extremely complex reads. Thanks for watching!
So what does Alabama do off that look if you out leverage that bubble with the defense pre-snap look? Do they automatically go with the give or do they pass to the other two receivers in the stack on a vertical route?
Great question. I only saw them throw the verticals or slants off of it a couple of times. I know they really like to take shots out of stack as well which if they were out leveraged to the outside I would think it would give them a free release to get up on safety's for different routes and create big windows towards the middle of the field.
they probably 99% of time wanna throw when they call this and the guy in the box probably already knows there’s leverage, if they get out leveraged they probably just take the L and eat the play as in just get as much as u can when all else fails and if you aren’t sure as a qb then hand it off but i doubt mac jones ever handed it off. and to run a bubble n go with outside zone but in bunch tight they are so far in, it would take a while to get into another route after fake blocking. i think it’s just a too long developing plays to be effective.
