🏈 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good- shout out to the OL, overall a good game against the 3-3-5 defense of W.V. The backs had decent holes to run and Sims, for the most part had time to throw the ball. Grade B

The Bad- DL play. We are still having issues getting good pressure on the QB with our 4 down lineman. I do look for this to improve as the season moves along. The next two games and practices should be time to work on some correctable problems. Grade C-

The Ugly- secondary play continues to haunt the Bama defense. There is no other way to say it, we were horrible. W.V. had 2-3 catches that was well covered and outstanding but overall, this is the weakest area on the team. Grade D-

Can't agree more. You hit it on the head.

Did you have to remind me about the ugly.:argh:

 

[alabama mike]

@rick4bama lots of work has to be done in the next two weeks in practice and games for the ugly to get better.

the one thought that ran through my mind about the bad was about Christion Jones. he missed 2 very big passes; one that would have put us easily inside the 10 and possibly a few yards more if he didn't outright score. the other wasn't as close to the end zone, but it still would have been a huge play, nonetheless.

i know receivers can't catch every ball thrown their way, but on both of those he was basically all alone and they were both very easy catches for a veteran receiver.


and i also would have to agree on the play of our secondary. there were blown coverages on more than a couple plays. and on a couple the cover was there but the defender just didn't try to make a play for the ball. this has to get better. or it will get WAY worse as the season goes on.

I agree on everything you said. Our defense as a whole wasn't good at all yesterday. I'll be interested to see how they play when we get Trey back.

Good: place kicking and punting. What a pleasant change from 2013!
Bad: the on-going QB quandary. One person is the short-term answer; the other, the longer term answer. Not much time left to do the cutover.
Ugly: the secondary.
