We need a defensive coach, o line coach Abe special teams coach!

Not a fan of Goulding (sp).

 

[JoshB]

Amen! He has struggled for the past two years.

Even when he does something right (like gets a sack) he completely wipes it out with a penalty. This defense is embarrassing and even if I think the offense is goo enough to hang with anybody, I really dont wan to see this group get embarrassed in the playoffs by what an OSU or Clemson or LSU (again) offense would do to it.

 

[alabama mike]

This is a very average defense, at best, IMO.

Ours or theirs

 

[alabama mike]

@rick4bama what do you think?

our defense @bamaledge.

Alabama's defense is far from average. They would have to improve a couple steps to get to average.

 

[rick4bama]

@rick4bama what do you think?

our defense @bamaledge.

 

[bamaledge]

We have let every QB run all over us all season. Not any improvement!

 

[EasyTider]

Unless State sends their center out on pass, 35 doesn’t need to cover anyone.

LOL, you’re killing me man. I’ll stick with an overall grade of C-. No consistent pressure from the DL, ILB‘s that have struggled all year and our DB’s have been stuck on an island, made to look pretty bad and we grab instead of tackle.

Can't tackle, can't cover, no discipline, no pass rush without blitzing, when we do blitz half the time the DB or backer misses, can't shed blockers, not sound in plugging holes/gaps. Every level of the defense is bad.

To quote the great Willy Wonka, “wrong sir!” LOL

 

[JoshB]

His interception was literally because the QB didn't even see him. And he looked incredibly lost on the play himself.

 

[JoshB]

Absolutely imploding. Dickerson - as good as he is - is the living embodiment of the lack of discipline of this team. Saban really seems like he's losing control of this team and that kills me to say.

 

[Tidestalker]

I can't ever remember a Saban team so penalized... On both sides of the ball.

 

[alabama mike]

Cheap call on Dickerson IMO. I was always taught and coached to hit until you hear the whistle.

 

[alabama mike]

Touchdown AL A BAM A!

Eh I wouldn't go quite that far... But Dickerson doesn't get it, that's for sure.

 

[alabama mike]

We are actually better on the OL since Dickerson moved to center. The run game has shown improvement since that move.
