    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?

    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.

    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.
