He is injured, but the team is still in pretty good shape overall. A good chunk of guys are not at 100%, but that's any team at this point. Overall, this is the healthiest Bama has been with their main guys going into the SECCG in a good while.

Pass rush is going to be the best way to cover Bower.... That is a strength of ours. Smart at some point will just try and line up and run the ball down our throats. He has the horses. We have to match it with our own horses which we have.

No one knows how healthy Bowers, or McConkey, are going to be this weekend.

I didn't think Bowers would be back for the Tennessee game and he was, and made a difference, so even not being 100% he's still a target and one we better take care of. I'd rather us get beat defending him with our best resources than allowing status quo and their best player beat us.

Everyone says they have to cover Bowers...and then he turns around and has a big game.....its just not easy ...if possible...to do
Uga....QB....looks like he has been trained by....joe burrow...at times anyway
KS knows how to get a D ready better than any HC...and has talent....that is Bama-ish
But...their record vs bama...is weak....and we all know...even without saying...the injuries to our 2 wide receivers...in the 2021 nc game was the difference.....they absolutely could not cover Williams..
...this should be fun...and we all can bet...the committee will be tuned in...

Man I just don’t know about Campbell guarding Bowers. That’s a mismatch in coverage. They’ll move their guys around a lot pre snap…we got to be schooled up and ready to go.
Could be a long afternoon.
Everyone has to play their best game and take care of their assignment.
I’d expect Bowers and McKonkey will be ready…probably resting up during GA Tech to heal up a little better for us - that’s what I’d prepare for atleast.

Maybe I just don't remember them, but how many designed runs did Milroe have last week? That's what I'm referring to as "holding him back". The offense we ran against awbarn won't get the job done this week. Even if they spy him, Milroe is faster and probably as strong as their LB's.
Each phase of the game has got to be better this week.
We’ve got to “heat” Beck up and get him off of his spots and make him uncomfortable back there. I don’t see us trying to lock down Bowers with an ILB in Campbell or anyone else. We’ve just got to make his touches as painless as possible and eliminate any busts in coverage.

Does anyone else think Carson Beck looks like a young Lurch?
IMO, Alabama needs to put some pain on Beck.

"Heat Beck up" sounds weird when you word it like that ... Sounds like something I would tell my wife on Friday night after 3 large glasses of margaritas and I'm telling her, " let me go ahead and heat my peck up."

Beck definitely resembles Lurch.
Let’s hope he throws like a Lurch this weekend

Campbell's been our best coverage backer by far this season. It's one of the reasons why he's earned the starting job over Marshall. It's tough matchup for anyone in the country covering a healthy Bowers, it's a big task.... but if there's anyone on this team that could do it, it be him.
I don’t see us “heating “Beck up. Our pass rush has been very spotty.

Need to have more of Braswell and Turner on the field at the same time then.

I don't agree with you on this one. Not even close. Being our beat coverage linebacker isn't saying a ton as we get beat a ton there. I still think we stick a faster more athletic defensive back on him.

And we may do that, did I say we should mainly have Campbell covering him? No, I didn't. But it's likely that they're gonna match up a good bit before it's apparent of how that's gonna go. There's tons of different ways, and coverages we could use to try and stop Bowers... we'll see how shapes up in the game. And Campbell has without a doubt been our best cover backer, I feel good about his ability in that match up.... but we'll see. Also, having a db on him could potentially be an extreme mismatch for Georgia. Bowers is like 245 pounds, and still has elite speed and a pretty good vertical. It also makes me nervous because it likely would be Key/Story guarding him, and aside from Downs, our safeties haven't been very consistent in coverage this season. Maybe I'm wrong(hopefully). Tons of different ways we could go about it, can't wait to see how we intend to do it.

You realize you are saying the same thing I've said for years: comments you've disagreed with in the past.
This defense is going to get beaten by a TE or RB against a OLB, ILB, or one of the S's.
On that same note...
No matter the defense or team every squad out there is susceptible to a dual threat quarterback: including the style of defense Kirby employs.
