Called run play, his feet would be square to the line of scrimmage. Called pass play and his plant foot would be a half step further back than his left foot. I know they run a lot of RPO’s so who knows how that would factor in but you cannot deny what the video shows.


I saw the guy on YouTube talking about that. Don’t you think the QB coach, OC, Offensive Analyst, and any of the other 10 people breaking down the offenses prior game film would have noticed it if it held true and affected anything? Every position is graded pretty hard at that level.

Also tendencies run deep in offensive football. The defense knows tendencies by formation coupled with down and distance. Now these are just tendencies but they are still a good indicator of what is coming as far as if it is a run/pass. And also there is the RPO aspect of it as you said. But if you want to get YouTube famous and generate clicks for your bank account, it is a good narrative to push. I don’t believe the Alabama coaching staff would miss something like that but that is just my opinion.
