They should sponsor our 3rd downs.

 

[Rsedge72]

Just a few in usce game cause it’s fresh in my head.

4th and 9 td pass near the end of 2nd.

3rd and long at about the 10 minute mark of the 3rd

That’s the 2 off the top of my head.. and yes those are on the “safeties”.

show me an example.

I'm still under the impression this defense thrives when it's putting people under pressure. The fact that Wommack keeps dialing back on the blitzes and they keep getting success on 3rd and long is proof that if we stay aggressive in this defense it can be successful. The difference is we will get burned deep once in a while, you just hope that the rush can change the throw enough to make it uncatchable sometimes.

I'll take getting deep burnt sending pressure 10% of the time over sitting back in coverage and get eaten alive every time.

Caleb Downs? who is he? Not familar with him. I don't know if Downs would've helped because he's a safety. IMO, safety play hasn't been the issue this season. It's more of CBs.

Moore and Sabb have been beat multiple times this year. Willing to bet more than our corners. Two seniors.

Realistically what are the actions that can be taken to improve as we have the players we have and that is not changing? My cut below:

• Improve Tackling
• Cut down on penalties.
• Defensive calls more aggressive. Seems like he is trying to protect the secondary but in the end it is not working.
• Some strategic position changes with personel assuming there is someone better behind the guy that is playing.

Thoughts?

@mando

Improve Tackling and Cut down on penalties and I would be willing to bet that most of what we are bitching about with the defense would go away.

Will look at it right now .

 

[Krimson]

Um, ok. Ohio State lost so that means Downs sucks... and an All-American level safety wouldn't make a difference because our existing below average safeties don't suck as bad as our DBs. Gotcha.

Any Bama fan who doesn't know who Caleb Downs is probably doesn't know much about safety play either

4th and 9- I agree. He didn't check to see his other side. Poor effort by Moore.


3rd and long near ten mins- I watched the replay six times. They were playing soft zone and it's not on safeties. It's on Jefferson. He left his man and went to his right for no reason. Both of the safeties was little too far back maybe 2 to z three yards deeper than they should. But this one goes to Jefferson.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

I’ll give our DC props on one thing - bringing the house the last two plays of the game gave them no time to develop a route of the length necessary.

Devonte smith slides to his right… now I agree Jefferson coulda shoulda woulda but smiths play all day long. He’s on top of that route/zone…. That’s also according to the coaches…
Now he could e seen something underneath but that’s o

We don't know what happened in that play but that's on Jefferson right now. We can't say for sure that's on safeties. Maybe mark this as a maybe but for now that's on Jefferson until we see better explanation.

 

[Justneedme81]

Any play you want me to look at let me know. I'm watching the game again using command center. I noticed few things I didn't catch yesterday with the team.

 

[64Tide]

Tackling? Most of the time, we sling the runner forward to get him down. We actually pulled aSC runner across the goal line. You have to ask yourself, do they ever practice tackling? I’m saying it doesn’t happen.

 

[Justneedme81]

Why didn't Jackson get off his man and get to him quick? Saab was tentative. That would've forced them to pass on third and maybe kick field goal.

 

[Rolltide24]

Moore got burned multiple times at Vandy, including the 4th down moon shot to the endzone and the big play on their last possession where we had them 2nd and 12 back at the Vandy 16 with 2 minutes to go. Those 2 plays were brutal.

 

[64Tide]

We are 15th in the SEC in yards given up vs SEC opponents. That’s not a good sign going forward. We literally have to score on every possession to keep up with uT, Miz, Lswho and maybe UO. What’s the date for the Music City Bowl?

 

[Kamikazi18627]

I'm just gonna start drinking about Thursday night and hope for the best.

 

[UAgrad93]

Similar to how O’Briens’ offense at Bama seemed to thrive much better in 2 minute/hurry up mode, the defense this season seems to thrive more when they play aggressive with a more “do or die” play calling mentality. There’s gotta be a fine line there in finding some balance IMO, but I’d like to see them lean into the aggressive side a little more going forward. Force the issue a bit more.

During the broadcast yesterday, I heard them say that we are the least “blitzing” team in the nation at somewhere around 9% of the time!! As Roll Tide Willie would say “Blitz BAMA Blitz!!!”

 

['65 Cobra]

I never said anything about Downs being a bad player. I'm not sure where you get that idea from. All I said was "'m not sure if Downs would've helped yesterday, because he's a safety, not a CB.

Take another look at my post. I quoted two people. That comment was not directed at you.
