🏈 ▶ GAME WEEK with FSU: Previews- Wednesday update from the head coach.
Wommack: "On opening the season on the road"
Like anything, you prepare your guys to go execute regardless of environment. It's not about noise, home, or road. It's about the work, the execution, doing your job at a high level so external variables are removed. Do your job one play at a time like it's the most important snap of the game, and then do that consistently.
Our coaches have done a really good job. Kaylin does a tremendous job of keeping the main thing the main thing so players can execute when it matters most.
Bama has played several openers this century that haven't been in Tuscaloosa. Have you thought about how many true road games Bama has had since 2000?

What is this double tweet thing all these guys do? Engagement farming?
Two; both listed as starters. Roydell might start but not get the most carries. (It looks like Bama will see three different RB's)
And trying to skirt around changing algorithms on links for more views/impressions/engagements

They played both even and odd fronts last season. But I think they went more even front than they did with odd. I'm not quite sure what the percentage was, but I'd probably say it was 70-30 or 80-20. They ran out of that front a lot last season.

They'll do it on Saturday morning most likely.
VanDeMark for Roberts is pretty much a given or the next few weeks, at least. It'll be somethig to watch...FSU has a BIG OL' nose guard: close to Cody's size.
I'm wondering about how they 'spell it out' for RB. Young gets the "starter" tag and Hill gets more touches?
Mack is getting the #2 reps. But I personally don’t expect Simpson to fall on his face so it would more than likely be an injury that would cause a change there.
Simpson will have some 1st year starter growing pains, but he’s ready for this, IMO.
This confuses me a little.
I remember more competition among the fans than I do competition on the field. Hell, how much time did I waste watching those arguments about Blake? Or worse, in '16 with Bateman and Hurts added to the mix. I don't miss all those acronyms.
And, for what it's worth, I don't remember the "hype" about Blake being any greater than the other two: all three, not in Ty's boat in my view.
Flippin' through channels looking at what was published over the last 12 or so hours ...
I get tired of lazy people, lazy takes on a game. It's so easy to say, "worry about the heat" when looking at a ball game. Hey, sometimes that's true. But good lord, the blanket they use to cover a game with no real insight?
Booger didn't let me down. He's talking about heat in Tallahassee. Never mind the forecast...lower 80's, scattered showers, like a normal afternoon; cooler in fact.

An answer that isn't an answer but is an answer?
70-80 percent in nickel, about half of that in a four man front...that's what you are saying?The FSU DL vs the Bama OL is something that's catching my eye. Simply put, White is installing his version of the 3-3-5. No big deal when I read about this spring (other than noting injuries affecting the install.) There wasn't anything that jumped out to me last season (Nebraska) and nothing noteworthy at his stops as DC with AZ St. or 'Cuse.
Grubb mentioned something several days ago about using the tight end. He brushed over the word "gap," then toyed with "fit" for a second before moving on to another question. That caught my attention.
IF I were to guess that's how they are attacking the FSU defense: the scheme:
I think they're looking at utilizing the TE and by doing that creating, what's essentially, five gaps on the offensive line for three defensive linemen in their base. They'll have to crash a linebacker, or two players at least, just to cover the inside gaps of the running game.
A DC making adjustments for his 3-3 front to match an offensive line with an inline tight end? That's basic football, right?
But, we're right back to the red flags. Yes, there's experience there in those six guys in their front. But, there's little experience together. I see communication being a big problem on a few plays. IE: How many fits will FSU just blow?

He will get on the field during special teams... still down the depth chart at WR though...
I guess the move was good in the sense that Bama kept him on the roster, but if I were him, I'd have stayed at DB.
