Beckwith/Milton Option

[Rumble4skin]

What would running the option with Milton and Beckwith look like for short yardage and Red Zone…

 

[VOLfrombama]

Triple option with Banks as a fullback/lead blocker would be a deadly combo

I am sure we will see that very thing in the BG game.

 

[JRich]

I would go with Small or Evans. Pad level is more important, I feel. Personally, I hate the option in short yardage because you give the defense 2-3 yards.

We getting James Banks back?!?

That's how we beat Georgia Tech a few years back in OT. It gave our defense enough time to get through their blockers and stop them short of the goal line.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

With the power we can put in the backfield the quick hitting off tackle run north to south. Going sideways along the goal line is risky. O-Line get their pads low and plow it in! GBO!!!!!

I hope they'll at least give Butch Jones out at ASU a call on this. He was phenomenal on goal line and short yardage plays.

 

[Revived2002]

Yes! We could use them as decoys. Hide a punter behind a lineman on the goal line, hike the ball, have a bunch of people running around flipping the ball to eachother, then toss it backwards to the punter on the right hash at about the 20 yard line and have him try and heave it to a tight end diving in the back left corner of the end zone....

oh wait, butch jones isn't our coach anymore

Joe Milton 6'5" 244lbs.
Dee Beckwith 6'5" 227lbs.

Cam Newton 6'5" 245
Derrick Henry 6'5" 247lbs.

Painful, players already said in the spring Dee wasn’t a fun tackle and his pad level has only improved. Add a 245 pound qb and I would imagine you would see some unintended back pedaling especially late in games with the defense already tired. Evans and Dee could make a perfect late game psychological and physical battering ram especially if you let them run a modified wildcat lead blocking for each other to save hits on the qb.

Defense nightmare! Beast mode

Joe Milton 6'5" 244lbs.
Dee Beckwith 6'5" 227lbs.

Cam Newton 6'5" 245
Derrick Henry 6'5" 247lbs.

Henry is 6’3 which is still a monster of a human being.

Do something totally new...line up Bailey at QB and Milton as RB/QB. Defenses would blow up trying to figure out a long ball vs running QB scenario. We need to innovate and start leading instead of following.

 

[vollygirl]

Does it just feel like more options because we get to hear from the players?

Or because the staff sounds like they know what they are doing?

Or because I'm desperate for a reason to hope?

Or because I'm a girl?

It's D.

Don't be a douche', this absolutely proves to me you know nothing about this kid. I would gladly bet you any amount of $$$ he would pass a drug test. Show some class and don't comment on things you know nothing about. Show a little respect to the Kids who stuck around to try to make this program relevant again. Got news for you, most could have left instead of sticking it out. I wish the Fanbase could show half as much integrity,

Sorry, I was referring to the current Banks on the roster, know him from church. Good kid who needed to grow up a little. A little thin skinned at fans picking on kids who are trying to make us proud, my bad.

Listed at 6'3" but he's 6'5". Ever seen the picture of him standing next to Mark Ingram?

Undoubtedly C. I think we're all praying that some luck finally falls on our side.

Milton "to Bailey " FFF (flea flicker fake)

Ingram is 5’9… Henry is 6’3”, he’s 6 inches taller.

Bo is 6’1”, almost eye level…

Cam Newton 6'5" 245

And yet they are nowhere near the same stratosphere

Dee was a QB in high school. He was sick as hell
