🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Gig'em Style

[alabama mike]

Ok let's here the good, bad and ugly against A&M.

 

[psychojoe]

Good - the secondary

Bad - the punting game collectively

Ugly- procedure penalties on the OL.

 

[BigAl]

What happen to Kelly?

 

[FLTidefan]

TV said he got a concussion, not sure when it happened tho.

 

[FLTidefan]

Good- This is a championship caliber D. I am loving watching the young DBs grow and develop.

Bad- Special teams. Ugh

Ugly- OL play after the first quarter.

 

[rick4bama]

Good: The whole D side.
Bad:Special team too. Run back for TD and block punt Thank to the D for it not getting anything out of it.
Ugly: procedure penalties on the OL. and the targeting penalties.

 

[UAgrad93]

Good- total defense effort and play!! DBs don't get those opportunities without the monsters up front harassing the QB.

Bad- like everyone else, piling on the punt team. Mazza with the shitty snap on the block. Hootie Jones with the strip on Cyrus instead of the vaunted 12th man, and cover team losing lane assignments on the return.

Ugly- don't know which is worse, the procedure penalties or the play of JCH at center when Kelly went down. One complemented the other.

 

[SnakeFan]

Good - the pick sixes
Bad - tackles for loss (ours)
Ugly - special teams play (fumble and punt return)

 

[jlabit]

The Good--Every portion of our defense.
The Bad--Quality of offensive play after Kelly goes down. Do our backups get no practice?
The Ugly--Special teams play (Enough said)

 

[OldPlayer]

Good - Defense (those interceptions don't happen by themselves), first half Henry, toughness of Coker

Bad - Penalties, OL

Ugly - Special teams

 

[Bamabww]

Good: Defense

Bad: The drop off between our first team center and our second team center. My goodness, it was much worse than I could have expected.

[wiregrass_bamaguy]

Good-defense
Bad-special teams
Ugly-last part of 2nd quarter

 

[EdfromT'town]

Good-Defense, all of it
Bad-ref's
Ugly-2nd half running plays-don't think it was just the center.

 

[BigCrimson]

The Good- Defense
The Bad- Our inability to run more than a handful of passing plays (the same ones over and over) due to the lack of confidence in our QB.
The Ugly- Turnovers and punt return team

Granted, I'll take four int's (three run back for td's) by our defense all day, every day and twice on Sunday's. However, we cannot rely on that every game. Our passing game needs to open up a little bit or it is going to cause us problems down the stretch. Over the last three games (JawJuh, Arky and aTm) we only run a handful of passing plays and they are the exact same ones over and over, by which none are in the middle of the field and most are within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

Ugly-Pass Protection

Am I the only one who noticed that Coker had no time to throw all day? It's why we never hit a deep pass in the game. It was open, but we had no time to let the play develop. LSU had the same problem with Florida and went to the flea-flicker. Maybe we should insert that play.

 

[BigCrimson]

Need to move the pocket or "roll the pocket" when that happens. In obvious passing situations our OL had proven they couldn't handle aTm's pass rush. So why not do something to help Coker?

 

[bama alum]

Good: Minkah Fitzpatrick was tamu's leading receiver yesterday.

Bad: No Bo? If Drake is too sore to run...

Ugly: Punting units...Ugly! Just ugly...

 

[rhbama3]

It's time for CNS to fire Bobby Williams again. Mel Tucker came in and turned our horrendous secondary from last year into aggressive ball hogs. Williams has done absolutely nothing to improve our Special Teams for several years now. It's a liability that has to be addressed.

 

[JoshB]

The Bad- Our inability to run more than a handful of passing plays (the same ones over and over) due to the lack of confidence in our QB.

I think you mean lack of confidence in the O-Line... Coker is not the problem on pass plays at the moment.

 

[BigCrimson]

I think you mean lack of confidence in the O-Line... Coker is not the problem on pass plays at the moment.

Then if that's the case the staff needs to adjust and help the kid out. Roll the pocket, mix in some designed read option plays where the qb runs. Do SOMETHING to slow down the rush. One good thing that has come from our bad oline play is we've learned Coker can legitimately be a running threat. Yet we've not taken advantage of his ability to do that. Mixing in designed run plays for him would definitely slow the defensive line down. As of right now, other than throwing up the white flag during passing plays with plays that have little chance for success, I don't see anything the staff is doing to adjust.
