Saban not a fan of No Huddle.

Boo...fracking...HOO

[The no-huddle]'s obviously created a tremendous advantage for the offense when teams are scoring 70 points and we're averaging 49.5 points a game," Saban said on an SEC coaches teleconference, as quoted by the Birmingham News. "With people that do those kinds of things, more and more people are going to do it.

"I just think there's got to be some sense of fairness in terms of asking, 'Is this what we want football to be?' "

But Saban wasn't just arguing against the no-huddle over its lack of "fairness" to the defenses -- he views it as a safety hazard as well.

"At some point in time, we should look at how fast we allow the game to go in terms of player safety," Saban said. "The team gets in the same formation group, you can't substitute defensive players, you go on a 14-, 16-, 18-play drive and they're snapping the ball as fast as you can go and you look out there and all your players are walking around and can't even get lined up.

"That's when guys have a much greater chance of getting hurt when they're not ready to play."

Cry me a river.

The no huddle is simply the two minute drill played all game long. And don't think it isn't just as hard on the offense. It is. He just doesn't like seeing his $150,000 per year 500 pound d-lineman having to run too much.

reminds me of the British complaints in the revolutionary war. Those Americans don't fight fair. Instead of rigidly marching in straight lines in the middle of the road with crosshairs on their chests, they have the gall to shoot from behind trees and rocks and wear clothes that don't distinguish them from the surroundings. Is this really what we want war to be like???

there is a new school freight train on Saban's horizon... closing fast

Maybe we should take away the forward pass as well? That is a safety concern for QB's and Receivers

He's being a little pussy. He has big physical guys going at it full speed, isn't that a safety concern?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If Chip goes to the NFL I can see them outlawing the No Huddle because it would interfere with the 2 hours of TV commercials they show during a 3hr game.

Boomer Esiason and Jim Kelly made it work...

Maybe we should institute a weight limit for lineman because the bigger you are, the more force you'll hit other players with, and the more likely you are to get injured.

I see it alot in the NFL, where teams are struggling to move the ball all game, then they go into their no huddle to end a half or or the game and start moving the ball. Makes you wonder why they don't do that the whole game?

Chip Kelly recently attended a Patriots practice to help them implement it. Saban needs to stop whining.
