🏈 Alabama vs Tennessee film

[Scrape&Search1032]

Gonna go over some film of the game at some point, so I'm starting this thread. Y'all will see what I'm talking about when I post some clips, but the amount of times I've seen our ILB's do everything perfectly, then being able to finish the play and make a tackle pisses me off. Also, we've got a problem as a ILB group not taking good angles to the ball carrier or closing space when we're making plays in the open field, and that has allowed cut back lanes for big plays. Lawson did this on the Bishop touchdown, scraped over from the backside, didn't take that bad of angle to the football, but he didn't close enough space by the time he got his shoulders squared to the ball, then boom... cutback for a touchdown.

Are we not doing angle drills in practice? Or just not doing them enough? Because we've had this issue all season.

You went to Arby's and bought, then ate, steak bites.

We need to have a talk. I don't believe anything you see any longer.

If it's any consolation to anyone, I hate ranch dressing.

I saw you make the post. I almost said something.

It was too much effort considering what you had suggested.

I'll bet you put ground turkey in a gyro.

It was late, the later it gets, the chance of making massive mistakes in ones life increases. It won't happen again. I've learned from these mistakes, and am now ready to move on and put this past me.

This was a fantastic play by Lawson. Tennessee is in 12 personnel here, they're gonna motion a receiver over to try and confuse the eyes of the defense, but we did a good job of maintaining eye discipline. Lawson scrapes downhill, shoots his gap(A gap) and makes a tackle, with Smith cleaning it up. Whenever it's short yardage like it was here, and the DC calls for it, they'll teach them to just maintain their gap and shoot through it instead of just stacking in their run fit like usual. Great job by Lawson if understanding his assignment and maintaining it. I'd like to see more like this out of him.

I love how Wommack drew this blitz up. We're gonna send Lawson on a blitz and stunt him with Pierre. Lawson scrapes down like he's blitzing the B gap, Pierre starts off like he's gonna work that edge, then stunts back inside on the tackle while Lawson stunts back outside to the edge. Pierre was able to get inside leverage and beat him to get the sack, the key here for Pierre getting that sack is Lawson taking away the blocking RB on the play. That RB's responsibility is to pick up the Mike backer(Lawson), you'll see him mirror Lawson on his blitz as it's developing. He does just that, that left the tackle to deal with Pierre One on one, and Pierre got the better of him. If we don't send Lawson on that designed blitz, that RB could've helped block Pierre and he not be able to get the sack. Excellent job by those two executing that blitz concept, and getting an impactful play off of it.

Credit also goes to wommack for recognizing what personnel Tennessee was in and dialling this blitz up at that time. Wommack schemed the shit out of Heupel here.

As y'all know, Tennessee loves to split their receivers really wide. A lot of the time that means they're probably going to be in 10 personnel, sometimes 11. What that creates is a ton of potential conflict for their o-line if a Defensive coordinator draws up any blitzes or stunts, or just sends an extra guy to have the numbers advantage.

As you see in that clip, they split out wide, they're in 10 personnel, we stunt Lawson and Pierre, get the matchups we wanted, and got a sack off of it.

This is the shit I love to see. Organic pas rush!

We're in our dime package, so we're gonna rush 3 and have Lawson be our spy. Look at the push Pierre gets on this play. He has been outstanding since getting his opportunity. I love Russaw, but Pierre is by far and away the better pass rusher between the two. I still stand on my opinion about Russaw moving to ILB, and how that may help him in the long run production wise for numerous reasons.

Anyway, back to Pierre. He's a monster!

Lawson at first does a good job of fitting this, but then gets overly aggressive and over runs the play and creates a cutback lane. He also had his fucking head down while taking on a block and completely lost sight of the running back. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AT ALL TIMES!

Hill-Green played this perfectly by the way, fit his gap, perfect technique when stacking and shedding his blocker, violent hands while keeping his shoulders and hips squared, and kept his head up the whole way through. Great rep by him.

I mean look at the difference in ILB play here to that Lawson clip where he gave up that cutback lane. The eye discipline, the discipline to fit his gap, play it inside out, and not give up a lane for the RB to cut back in. Played it perfectly!!!

God, I miss Pruitt.
