HappyDays Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 He hasn't been an NFL OC since 2012 so I don't know what to make of this. He has 5 Super Bowl rings and a NCAA Championship ring so he has plenty of experience in big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to judge what he did at Alabama, I would run all day with their D and RBs too. I like he has been a part of New Englands system. I am also glad we got him before NE brought him back after McDaniels leaves. And with their crappy QB. The frosh looks pretty good, though I hate to admit it.

Iverwig Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Regardless he will need a QB in order to get the job done so until we get a QB it won’t matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so nothing really changes.. look at the playoffs. you need to throw the ball to win in this league. Yes he has been but that’s kind of a function of the QBs he has had.

There is no point of running a pass first offence at Alabama. They win championships by running the football and playing defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopreme Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 He inherited the bama job. Little experience. Not a good hire in my opinion. Def a money move. I thought ken dorsey was the right guy.

HappyDays Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 As a general concept I love the idea of bringing a college OC to run an NFL offense but I don't know enough about this guy to be sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have great insight on the upcoming Qb class, though. ...was hoping more for a chuck 'n duck aerial show......and I just personally loathe ANYTHING to do with Saint Nick (strictly opinion)......

Ittakestime Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 If you want to see how his offense runs, you need to watch the 2nd half of the national championship. The whole season he was holding back because Hurts was horrible. Here is a quote from an article: Daboll spent the year trying to maximize the personnel at his disposal. He developed a six-man receiver rotation that included three freshmen -- Jeudy, DeVonta Smith and Henry Ruggs III. He worked in the tight ends as much he could. He created an egalitarian arrangement among the running backs. But everything led back to Hurts, the quarterback who never really matured into a great passer. That became evident in the national championship game, when he was benched after completing only three of eight pass attempts for 21 yards during the first half. Explaining the move, Saban said, "We needed a spark." In stepped Tua Tagovailoa, the freshman from Hawaii. Just like that, the complexion of the offense and the game changed. It was as if the restrictor plates from Daboll's scheme had been removed. There were play-action bombs, shallow crosses and passes directed to all areas of the field. Tagovailoa connected with nine different players and helped Alabama gain 277 yards following halftime after it accumulated 94 before then. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2018/01/how_alabama_oc_brian_dabolls_v.html 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Finkel Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Daboll must of hated getting screamed at by Saban in the semi-final game. He opened up the offense for Bama in the 2nd half of the championship with a true freshman QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I am a huge Bama fan and have been watching them all year and I can tell you the Brian is very creative in his play calling and he also calls plays based on the players strengths. I think he will do very well here. 15 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
