Will Bama be able to pressure Mond?
- Thread starter Tide&True
- Start date
Some of y'all are acting like Bama is facing Manziel again, LOL.
Yah, Mond will get some yards, but Saban will load up to stop the run and Mond won't beat Bama with his arm. Bama will win this one by several scores but there will be people complaining afterwards that Bama gave up 20-something points despite the fact Bama likely scores 40-somehing-plus...

I think the key is not letting Mond break outside containment. That’s where Plumlee made some real hay for Ole Miss.
Guessing Harris and Lee got some extra tutoring on that during the off week.

I aint ever gonna complain about a win...………...I just want some excellent tackling and a big win
I think once Tua hits one of the WRs for a long TD....the stadium deflates and they realize the rout is on.
To me this is all for fun but, lol, only on here can you predict a two touchdown win—on the road—and you’re characterized as being negative. I’ve been saying since February that our ‘real’ season doesn’t start until November and I still feel that way, all that the majority seem to be saying in this case is that come Saturday we are probably in for a real struggle on D. Mond played well against last year and I expect him to do the same in this game.
What about the Aggie receiving corps? Haven’t they dropped a lot of balls this year?

I guess part of my issue is I don't remember him playing well. Indeed, the stats show he completed less than 50% of his passes last year, had 1 TD pass, and 2 interceptions. He did have 98 yards rushing on 18 carries, but one of those carries was for about 50 yards and a td on a busted play. So he had some success, but absolutely nothing sustained. It was 45-16 entering the 4th quarter. And I remember Jimmy Bob getting cute and trying to score another garbage TD at the end when we had long since called off the dogs.
And the thing is, Texas A&M and Mond are worse than a year ago.

If I was the Defensive Coordinator, I'd chase Mund from beginning till the end.
Do that and he want have a chance to try to light us up.
(BTW: I'd do the same thing to Auburn. Nix doesn't handle pressure very well.)
We may see Byron Young starting at DE. If so, I wonder if this move has to do with pressuring Mond? This young freshman was touted as ready to play, and has been practicing on the first team along with D J Dale and Raekwon Davis. Eboigbe has been practicing on the second team.
I checked their 40s and they're comparable, with Mond at 4.8 and Plumlee at 4.6, so both OK for a QB. Tua is at 4.9, but he doesn't run outside. Hurts is faster than any at 4.48 and he does run outside...
Speed isnt as important as decision making in terms of "should I run or not".Mond last year made some good decisions of when or when not to run early, and it wasn't until we started to drop tds on them that he really started to make mistakes. Mond for two years has been hell on our defense. We have had better defenses the past two years than what we have now so its probably one of those games in which Mond exposes our youth and takes a few runs that extend drives.
I fully expect to win, and win big. But their final score will be higher than what most are comfortable with.
55-31 type game.

Mond has more to grab.....
Plus, hopeful that the angles at 4.8 are different than 4.6.....especially for our rookie linebackers....
Wow didn't know he was that fast. He looks like he is not even running hard when he runs.
Plumlee's 247 confirmed time is 4.61, but he has been timed several times much faster. GA laser timed him at 4.42 in one of their camps.
