Is blitzing Milroe the best gameplan?

I've seen several posts regarding blitzing when Bama is on offense and I don't understand how that could be beneficial against a very sketchy passer.
Milroe throws a pretty good deep ball but is largely inaccurate everywhere else.
Does it not make more sense to keep everything in front and make the tackle, essentially a bend but don't break defense?
There's an argument to be made for making Milroe uncomfortable which forces him into mistakes, but is that the best gameplan for a defense that already struggles
mightily against the pass?

I think 2021 gameplan vs Gumps could work well against them.
Disguise blitzes and confuse the QB.

When your secondary is as bad as ours is, yes, you have to blitz and generate pressure.

Lots of blitzes is a horrible game plan.

This is going to sounds funny, but I'd take the Mizzou game plan and try to improve it.
Bama is a solid running game (shrader) with one deep threat (burden) and a decent QB. Dropping or blitzing Perkins will confuse Milroe eventually.
Brady Cook is a better passer than Milroe, but Milroe can run like Jayden but with size.
I think blitzing too much isnt the answer. When you have a QB like Milroe who is not accurate and prone to turnovers, you need to force them to have high play counts per drive. More plays per drive = more chances of a mistake.

I think so, but I 'm also ok dropping 7 or 8 every now and then and making him beat us(I know our secondary sucks).
We can't let the run game beat us.

Their RB is pretty solid

In the few Alabama games I've watched, their right tackle seems to have a problem with speed rushers. I think Perkins might have a fun day out there.
Doesn't mean that blitzes need to happen constantly, just having four on the line with Perkins on the edge in obvious passing downs seem to make a lot of sense.

Blitzing Milroe is a great plain if you get him.

He's not always great on his deep balls either. At least a few were underthrown to wide-open receivers when he breaks the pocket and guys come off coverage. Unfortunately, LSU's D has been susceptible to that.

No, but we can't get pressure rushing 4 lineman so that will give him time to pick our weak secondary apart.

Apparently not. I got crucified for suggesting it
Posted on 10/24/23 at 2:55 pm to geauxkoo
Yes. He is much less accurate.

I’m not a defensive expert but it seems like Texas had success disguising coverage, having a guy show blitz and dropping into coverage etc.
Posted on 10/24/23 at 3:00 pm to geauxkoo
No, it is not.

a high risk/high reward overall defensive strategy would be best for this team IMO. Mainly because the offense will score points and if you get a few take-aways, or turnover on downs it could be enough to be decisive. Especially with the new clock rules that limit the amount of overall possessions.

does this look like a mother fricking john chavis or dave aranda defense to you? they were good at that. this D is not!

I think you have to give Milroe a variety of different looks that has him thinking. I think you have to blitz some but more than anything you have to disrupt his timing and get him off his game. Milroe's biggest weakness is he doesn't read defenses well and that's what leads to a lot of his bad throws, high throws and his interceptions. The number thing we have to do is keep containment and then the sacks will come. If we can't contain Milroe running, we lose.

Blitz wisely tho, pick and choose the right times are else they will burn us, he’s basically a rb and I would hate to see them make us look silly

You blitz all night
