Game Thread: ****Bama vs. OU Game Thread****

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

The left side needs some serious work. Cyrus needs to wake up if he wants to sniff the 1st round.

After this season, he needs to come back one more one. He's getting beat badly.

I am going to watch the second half in peace without this thread. Some of you should be ashamed to call yourself a fan of any team.

Ditto, Roll Tide!

Terrible defensive gameplan. Unreal how poorly prepared we are defensively.

Our coaches always have the correct game plan, the players don't execute! (Blue font)

 

[TAKEPRIDE22]

Utter disbelief. Our D, especially corners are killing us. But we aren't getting any type of pass rush, which is where the problem starts.

 

[Nolan]

Well, I still believe. Frustrated. But I believe.

I think this thread is proof just how spoiled our fan base is. I hope our team can handle adversity better than Tidefans. It's possible to comment, even negatively, without the sarcasm, smart butt remarks and coach and player bashing. We're going to start following site policies in the second half...

 

[bamafaninbham]

Anyone think we should try an onside kick to open the 2nd half.

 

[Harmost]

Well, this is painful. Seems like any decent spread team murders our D nowadays; murder, as in we're lucky to get a stop... murder.

Establish the run
Play action
Tackle
Play angles
Match intensity
OL provide a little more protection
AJ identify their blitz


That should just about do it

With all due respect, if a person can't show any emotion when your team is playing even if it's a bit of frustration when your team is playing under par than expected, then I wonder if that person is much of a fan either. I don't think anyone here is insulting players or our coaching staff. If we lose, the sun *will* come up tomorrow. I think this forum is a great place to express those emotions if done appropriately. My two cents.

Sometimes, I think we try to do too much on defense. Our pursuit angles are horrible on the edge and we are getting very limited pressure on the QB.

 

[bamadws56]

Anybody have suggestions for our defense and what they need to do to stop OU?

Stop playing so soft on zone coverages and get some pressure on the QB. Put the rabbit packagge in and leave it in. Trash the game plan because it is not working at all!

The media is gonna light us up!!

We haven't been the same since the LSU game. Not sure what happened, perhaps we thought the season was over at that point.

i think the coaches gotta swallow their pride and make some changes on the defensive side. if the guys in there arent getting it done, give someone else a shot. I'd like to see what Fulton can do at DB.. what could it possibly hurt

Fulton have had numerous of opportunity....I'll like to see changes on the DL...terrible play from DLs/LBs

I blame Kiffin.

If we go down 21 to start the third, Katie bar the door.

Imperative that our D get a stop. This where coaches earn their money.

 

[deliveryman35]

We really haven't been the same team since the Miss State game.

We really haven't been the same team since the Miss State game.

Saban said the same thing this morning

 

[wisten]

Okay, Yeldon had fumbled 3 times this season. 3. Our O-Line is just as we suspected during the pre-season.. getting gashed at the seams and trying to cover. On D, we are not adjusting fast enough and not bringing enough pressure. Let's see what Saban and Kirby can cook up for the second half. Texas came back in their bowl game with what 24 un-answered points? So please end the doom and gloom. Many here were saying well, since we lost to Auburn, this game does not matter. I disagreed then and do so now.
