Interesting take from Gary Danielson on how to stop Bama

i was thinking about this earlier this week.. you have to find a way to shorten the game... they score on everyone else so quick and the game is bascially over in the 2nd qtr... so if it looks like they are sustaining long time eating drives it may not be a bad thing... we just have to match their scores...

Well, bama hasn't faced the db's we have. We have arguably the best defensive backfield in the nation. We shut down 2 first round WR's when we played Ole Miss. Greedy made Metcalf completely irrelevant. So, the big plays won't be as easy.
That being said Saban knows this. He will try to power the ball down our throat, so we have to be ready to stop the run. I'm more comfortable with us making tua throw than forcing them to run.

I would like to see an explanation of how their receivers seem to always be wide open. Is it scheme or just having better players than the competition.

That's actually a great point. It's referencing when Bill was the DC for the Giants and they took on the prolific Bills offense by Jim Kelly.
quote:
“(Belichick) walked into the defensive room – a defense that shut down everyone’s rushing game. He said ‘if we can get (running back) Thurman Thomas to run for more than 100 yards, we’ll win this game.’ And his team looked at him baffled and thought he made a mistake. More than 100 yards? He said, ‘Yeah, we have to figure out how to take the ball out of Kelly’s hand. Our best way is to entice them to run, make them earn every yard but make them go slowly, and our offense has to help.’

They love to fun go's, wheels and cross the TE over the middle of the field.

But the way to pressure their defense is with tempo.

A. They are very fast. All of them are burners that run great routes.
B. The OL is unreal. Any QB with 5 seconds every snap will find open receivers. Not even All-Pro CBs can cover that long consistently.
C. Scheme
D. Tua's vision and ability to throw them open and throw before their breaks.

They do nothing complicated, and they do it every game. Their WR's have just been so much better than the DB's they have faced.

If we get in Tua’s face he won’t be able to see who’s open....isn’t he only 6’ one....
Posted on 11/1/18 at 11:21 am to TigerFan55555
Got to get them in 3rd and longs. Very difficult to do.

I just think that they haven't faced the caliber of corners that LSU has. I've watched them being wide arse open and it was obvious that the corner couldn't match them step for step. Greedy will be able to run with them. So can Fulton.

And Tua is great at reading defenses pre-snap. A lot is going to depend on pre-snap reads and confusing them with different looks and mixing things up. For example. Show 2 LBs blitzing pre-snap, and then when it’s snapped, those 2 guys back off and play zone and the other 2 backers blitz

Saban should utilize the TE early and often if we play this game.

I agree...I have a feeling Tua will try to “Throw them open” and get a pick when our DB gets up there and snatches it away...
Posted on 11/1/18 at 11:26 am to TigerFan55555
I remember in 2012 when it took a Yeldon miracle to win, LSU,s strategy was to make the Bama defense play at least 80 or so downs because the starters were only averaging about 55 snaps a game....it almost worked.....Alabama starters played something like 90-95 snaps

Agree.
We can't make it easy for Tua.
We need to mix up coverage and blitz looks a lot, bring unique pressures, and frankly, we need to rattle him by knocking his dick in the dirt a couple times. He has barely been touched this year.

totally agree... looking forward to seeing this as well..

Agreed. If you look at our games this year, we lose coverage of a WR every game once or twice and the opposing QB just overthrew them for what would've been TD’s. Tua will not miss those throws.

Tua throws them open
Lol uh, no, he doesn't.
Bama has very fast WRs (but not unlike teams we've faced) and they've played a pool of the shittiest DBs (including A&M) in the country... That's how their WRs get open.
ETA: Also, Tua doesn't "throw dimes". His receivers are open enough to adjust to the ball while it's in the air. The thing Tua is good at is not over-throwing receivers, and I think that's because he doesn't have a strong arm, he puts everything he has into those throws, he doesn't have to place the throw, which is harder to do. I think he has enough time in the pocket to let the WR get to his throwing limit and he chunks it. He under-throws A LOT, you just can't tell because the receivers have enough room to adjust.
I'm honestly not near as impressed with Tua as I am their entire offense. I do not think Tua deserves any mention of the heisman.
