Coach is on fire right now. I know how he feels about Bama. That started way back when he was wearing orange. I guarantee he is probably like that Tiger in that cage in Baton Rouge, walking side to side, ready to go.....

The Coach Chavis defense made me understand how to read a QB’s drop. Fans don’t understand there’s a difference in body movement on a 3-step, 5-step and 7-step drop. He made me understand combination routes. For example, if one receiver does an out, the complementary route is a curl, etc. He also taught me each year at Tennessee that you should understand all the OTHER positions. You can tell an average player from a great player. Great players know what everyone is doing or close to it.

I saw evidence of this in a game earlier this year when an LSU defender on a end-around blitz recognized the play, reversed and dropped back into coverage and deflected the pass. Even the announcer commented on that being the sign of a smart defense.


Great post. Thanks.
