Alabama vs Arkansas

The blame for not "opening up the playbook" shouldnt be placed on the shoulders of McElwain.  It's Saban.  Playing conservative, not putting his QB in a position to make the big mistake, etc Thats his style.  Control the clock, establish the run and let his defense win/loss the games.  For example, look at his LSU teams vs the Florida State teams of the last 2 years.  Jimbo will open it up and loves to do so.  Saban handcuffs his coordinators and micromanages the game.  But its tough to complain or moan about it becaause it works. 

Bama is by far the best team in the country at disguising the blitz. They will make Tyler wilson look stupid. Childs will not do anything against this d. Not to mention Bryant denny stadium will be rocking. One of the toughest atmospheres in the country. No way does arkansas win this game.

No, I meant Buffalo Phil's.  There is also a Buffalo Wild Wings in T-town, but I've never been there.

Bama is by far the best team in the country at disguising the blitz. -  Not really at all... We have the talent to be the best, but we are struggling with our pass rush. This is mainly because of the teams we have played though. They are quick play, quick snap, quick throw teams. (With the exception of Penn St.) That's why I think we will do well against Arkansas, because they aren't. 

Saban complains about the offense at almost every post-game press conference.  Heck, he was complaining about it at the halftime North Texas interview.  He constantly says the offense needs to be more explosive, and needs to make more big plays.  So Saban wants it to happen, and Bama definitely has the weapons to make it happen.  The problem is it almost never happens.  Why?  At some point the offensive coordinator has to be held accountable for the lack of offensive production.
