Defense. I wanna seeus overmatch a tram and make them quit. I wanna see the 3rd and Longs denied. I wanna see a fast and aware defense.
| FTBL What are you most looking forward to seeing from Bama on Saturday?
- Thread starter Brandon Van de Graaff
- Start date
Regardless of who takes the snaps, I want to see our QBs protect the ball, no pre-snap penalties, tackle well, get turnovers, win all phases of the game, and I want to see both OL and DL play with a mean streak as wide as the field! I want to see MTSU run it 3 straight plays to burn as much clock, get their check and get on back to Murfreesboro.

I don't care about offense this saturday. I'm more curious to see how Defense will play... We've been hearing aggressive and fast all off season... so let's see if they fix lot of issues from last year.

There is no new offense. Just tweaks in the old.

It's an Air Raid offense. We're going to see the back seven being beaten.

When I hear offense more like 2012 that’s new compared to what we’ve been seeing

Let me put it this way ND’s offense didn’t look anything like Bama’s has.
Two TEs and run and run

It won't look that way in Tuscaloosa. Rees didn't have any receivers to speak of...
Pass to set up the run vs run to set up the pass within the same offensive scheme.

Innovative run game with use of multiple TEs and more pullers to produce a more physical attack so the best stable of RBs in the nation can do their thing.
On D it’s better matchup zone coverage and more guys running to the ball and gang tackling

I want to see how the OL pass protects and see if we swarm to the ball on defense.

we'll use TE little more effective than we had in the past, but I still expect us to do well with our receivers. Rees is going to use everyone knowing the talent he has compared to ND. Shoot, I woldn't be shocked if we went to Ace formation a lot this fall, with TE motioning a lot. some motion from inside to outside, etc. But knowing what we have at Alabama, I can see some 3 receivers, 4, and maybe empty formation with 5...
We won't always see that, but it'll be there.

Thanks for the clarification

I'm with you to a degree. Two tight ends? Yes. If we get to the nuts and bolts CJ and Niblack play two different positions—yet, both are tight ends. I see the ACE formation returning in short yardage downs. I also believe we'll see more of the H-back.
Go back and read some of the comments... I'd say Bama covered over 80% of them... no penalties, no drops, forced turnovers without turning it over, defense flew to the ball and tackled well, a ton of 2 TE sets, OL pass protection was fantastic, etc... Not a perfect game by any means, but I'd imagine most everyone should be pleased with what they saw based on what was being asked earlier this week...
Didn't get to see the game but heard lost of reports through the Bama Post game report. Sounds like a good win. Certainly a game to build on. It is only one game so lets see what the next one has in store. Consistency is something we have heard CNS talk about so lets see if that happens.
