I agree.I don't see it - Alabama has not played anyone that way this season, and the Vogler injury makes it even less likely, IMO.
Their secondary has more holes in it than an old tin roof. We'll pass them into submission and sprinkle in lots of runs too, but we've been a "pass to set up the run" team all year long.

My problem with some of our Bubble Screens is we throw to our man 2 yards behind the line, by the time they receive it speedy guys are on em and we get a negative play. Auburn will play 8-9 man fronts to stop the run, and they will cover the 2 yard deep pass like a run. We need to do something that will get a little separation.I wish this was true and would love to see it, but I think we'll try to let Blake carve them up. Bubble screens, roll outs, play action. They will load up to stop the run. We have to make them pay. Can't be dropping any passes.
Yep, yep. This Alabama unit is not like those we've seen in the recent past. I don't see Alabama running the ball like that unless Auburn sits back in two-deep all game. Even though we haven't ran excellently, teams still tend to play single high a lot against us because they know we run against favorable looking fronts.I don't see it - Alabama has not played anyone that way this season, and the Vogler injury makes it even less likely, IMO.
I think that dos occur on occasion with the bubble screens, but for the most part they have been successful. White and Jones are both solid blockers on the edge and Cooper is strong enough to break most tackles. We've had quite a few big plays spring out of the WR screens.My problem with some of our Bubble Screens is we throw to our man 2 yards behind the line, by the time they receive it speedy guys are on em and we get a negative play.

Just like sand lot football, we may need to 'JUST GO LONG', or hit a Tight End to loosen em up a little.
I think our secret for success is to get Auburn thinking pass, and a couple of their guys begin cheating and going back a little to help cover the pass. Then our Ground Game will be more successful. Blake may have to carry part of our Offense, and run a little. ALSO...
I want Lane Kiffin to dig deep in his bag of tricks, and catch em flatfooted.
Very bad? More like average against the run. Ole Miss played us straight up with man coverage . We had success running the ball until Ryan got hurt. Kind of went away from it after that. LSU Dared us to pass. Blake was off most of the game. The early down missed passes made us have to throw to make up for 2nd , 3rd and long . If Blake made a couple of those throws, the game would of been completely different.I don't see it. We didn't run it on lsu or ole miss. Both of those teams are very bad against the run but yet we didn't try. I really think it's by design rather than stubbornness against doing so. We really don't have bruiser type backs or a dominating type offensive line that we are accustomed to. I do however think we might have a balanced attack like we did against the cowbells though.
Hah hah!!!Of course, I'm usually completely wrong on these kinds of things, so we'll probably run the fullhouse backfield or the wing-T or something....
