Calvin Ridley a bigger threat than D.Henry

Any new word on White? Want him back badly. And I hope we don't risk re-injury by putting him on the return team.

I know BAMA's specialty in their passing game is the back shoulder throw. I have a feeling they'll run and probably beat us a few times on hitch and go routes because our DB's will be looking for the back shoulder throw

True

I agree. He's the one guy that you know is not going to blow a coverage or make a huge mistake. You have to execute a great route and throw to complete one on him. Also, he is our best matchup on Ridley. KT is very solid but not quite the speed or big game experience that White has. Need both of them in my opinion. Key with Coker is making him go to second and third progression. His feet get unsteady and he's much more likely to screw up.

Yeah, Ridley is good, but he's not as good as Cooper.

Cooper was better as a freshman

Ridley is a good looking WR and can make some plays... But their offense goes as Henry goes. Slow down Henry and you make Coker throw the ball a lot, and he will make more than 1 mistake.

If Henry is doing his thing and consistently getting good yardage, then Ridley can burn you with a PA pass over the top for a big play. But if we can contain / slow down Henry and force Coker to throw it a lot, then it's good for us.

And if White is good to go, I won't be that worried about Ridley. If Whites out, I will be. Still think KT will be up to that task though.

But their offense goes as Henry goes. He's threat #1. Slow him down, and we will make Coker throw it a lot. And that's what Bama doesn't wanna do.

White will not play if any this saturday, despite what Miles has said this week.
