Simply put. This is not what you have said.
With the money being thrown around. Be good time to be a great football mine....and looking for HC job...
My point made.....
At some point it is just a circle and no idea what we are even talking about anymore. I think it is that the D struggles against run. People giving others a hard time for stating it. simple.....
I left that alone because you didn't make a good point but I didn't feel like going back and forth on this.
Come on, man. Simple? Ya know this isn't the way these conversations about the defense have gone.
I've never been a fan of Womack's D. I know some are happy with the statistics and maybe rightly so but if you watched a random pick of 50% of the D plays this year do you think most would think they play fundamentally sound defense? I hate to watch it, I enjoy watching Oklahoma play D this year for the most part.
Not an option for him from what I hear.
That is how I have seen the conversatons.. I say something about the D and specifically about run D and it is like I am calling peoples baby ugly.
Within the last week you said the defense was subpar. You didn't say the run defense had issues. It was the defense as a whole. That's is not the case.
While efficiency numbers are statistics, it's a little vague just to call it "happy with stats." The rushing yards in the last quarter versus UT? Statistically, who could be happy? When you factor in things like game control, the point differential, and those yards coming in garbage time? I'm not unhappy. I'm disappointed in some fans knowing the game evolved but their expectations remain in 2011. As many times as it's been said, "it's a different building, it's a different staff, it's a different approach..." that's still being, essentially, ignored.
I think some understand that and while I can see that happening and understand the concept I can't make myself like it.
Okay. Consider this.
I get what your saying and I understand the strategy but I don't like watching an alabama D give up anything. I enjoyed the days of joyless murder ball and making their ass quit. I understand it's gone and probably ain't coming back but that doesn't change my preference for it. I do not like watching any defense Womack has been a part of. While his concept may work I still say they don't play fundamentally sound defense, gap control, maintaining an edge, pursuit angles, form tackling that's just what I want to see. I'm not arguing your point it's just my perspective.
I don't disagree with any of this. I never have. I look from your perspective and don't like the view. It's not a placation. It's a verification. Context. Against whom, when, and where...to me, it matters.
It does matter.
