Posted in the 1st half thread m8. Past midnight here abd i was off traveling before the bells so couldnt watch live tonight.Worth looking at just to see what we need to correct - and to enjoy the defense. I sent you an email. I was wondering where you'd been...
Yeah, he was unable to get off physical coverage at the LOS and create space. That is going to hurt his draft status.
Problem is, so much for the Stewart and Ridley hype also. I'm worried that our offense, scheme and execution now, will turn off some WR prospects...
The good news is this- although many will be worried about the offense in the upcoming game I'll still say that if we can avoid penalties we are incredibly potent and almost every position. Another big thing I haven't seen mentioned a ton is the the protection for Jalen was not very good. A lot plays simply weren't executed because pass protection broke down. It was yet another reason I saw to continue running the ball sans motions. Just run the counter and lay them on their behind. The result was Bo scampering for 183ish.
What did you see on the field at the end of the game?
Yeah, I think the lay off may have affected us. Nice that things got cleaner in the second half. Good seeing us ram them. Strange that there were no jet sweeps, well, one all night.
I dunno. We've got some really unselfish guys, that's for sure. However, we've got to get better at pushing the ball down the field. I don't expect to see whole sale changes by January 9th, but that should be a major improvement area for Jalen next year.
Hmm. Let's see where to start. Bo tackled out of bounds by his helmet. No penalty. Your inferior OL was tackling our DLs and your QB still got destroyed. No penalties. Your DBs and WRs were jawing the whole game. No warning nor unsportsmanlike calls made. Your OL was chop blocking our DL almost every play. Even Saban commented on it in the post game (which he NEVER does). No penalties. Again to no avail as your QB got destroyed. The fact is UW is soft. UW tried everything legal and illegal to be physical and still got owned. Petersen's teams are known for dirty play going back to his Boise days. Had an all out brawl with Oregon. Congrats on making it this far. Hope to see you in this position again next year.
Thinking the same thing. We have NFL prospects that don't have a qb that can complete a simple crossing pattern or deep throw from the pocket.
i couldn't quite figure out everything that went on with the late penalties. the last two after the interception, the dome was so loud i couldn't figure out what went on. i think i saw foster and harrison get sent to the locker room before our last play.
I didn't see any chop blocks, can you advise when these took place? I did hear the announcer note several 'holding calls that Alabama got away with ... on key runs -- the Scarborough TD Cameron was clearly holding Wooching at point of attack. Certainly not why we lost, but calls were evidently missed from both perspectives today. Obviously the 'ref's felt Alabama was out of line at the end calling 2 PF penalties on the Tide....
I don't. I think dirty teams should stay home.
I'm concerned too. Guys were either open or in single coverage and the most attention they got was being 'seen' running routes. It's got to be frustrating to basically just run routes all game getting cardio exercise.
