They play a more disciplined defense then we do too. We pressure and use our good d-backs to lock up.

Bama's favorite thing to do is pressure and drop back into a soft zone, adjusting the zones to the routes. Hard for a QB to pick up on where the zone opens while he has a LB hitting him. Also it sets up for mistakes if you key in on a route cause you think it'll be open.

For example. Cover 2 against a inside vertical route. If the QB reads the defense and sets his mind he'll throw there while being pressure. Balls thrown, tho the QB doesn't know the safety adjusted his zone to that route. Picks the ball off. Or destroys the receiver forcing one hell of a catch or a incomplete.

A team coached by a grass eater can't be smart. I mean, where's the balance?!

Very precise, and thats why we need a mobile quarterback with speed in this situation. Name will not play the soft zone as much. I guess you coached before!
