re: Welter did not miss his assignment.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with the op but that happens every week on here.

No one knows the responsibility of any player on most of the defensive sets so they just blame whoever is closest to the play

Bower said he was the one who blew the assignment in the post game. Had Welter gone with the play the QB would have handed the ball the back, and it would have been the same result.

This TD happened because Bower tried to get outside of the guy blocking him instead of plugging the hole.

I just rewatched the play. There was a corner and a safety, if debo commits inside and they dump it to the wr, which auburn will do, it's to the house. That play was on welter. Miles said so.

16, 32, and 26 (White, Collins, and Martin) are lined up over there. Martin (26) is the one who changes where Debo is playing and no one tells Welter as NMS snaps quickly.

So you think Jones needed to help the 3 men on the outside cover the receivers. Ya'll need to quit with the hate of one player.

Nobody hates you, DJ. You just can't play.

Can you screenshot that or something? I didn't notice a second corner on that side.

Sorry, have it DVR'd. My project for this week is to get the software to quickly put some gif's together so I don't have to strain the pro's who do it week in and week out on this board.

The Middle Linebacker should make that play every time. Welter took one false step and was too slow to recover. He isnt an SEC caliber linebacker. Nothing against him personally, Just being honest. Beckwith should have been starting halfway through last year. If we are too stupid to line up correctly after watching film of the other teams offense all week then it is the teachers fault, not the students.

Look Welter makes mistakes but so has all other players on defense. Why such hate for one player. Everybody says you shouldn't boo players but it's okay to write in on a screen. Seems to be a double standard on the Web.

We're you ok with the constant bashing of freak last year? Did you write post after post to defend his honor? What about Hatcher? What about Miles last year? What about Martin this year?

This.

And....



The ball was on the right hash, the 3 WRs were split out to the wide side.

Yall mean to tell me that Debo, the OLB that is split out over the slot WR in man coverage, responsibilty was the QB? Are yall for real?

The 2 CBs next to Debo were White and Collins, who were in man coverage on the other WRs. Martin was the FS and was their support over the top.

Mills was the SS and Louis was the other OLB. Since there was no WR split out to that side, Mills walked up close to the LOS and LL split out a little wider than normal. Because of LL being able to split out a bit wider, the DE to that side was able to slide inside a little more and be on the inside shoulder of the TE beause LL now has contain to that side. The DTs had gap control as usual, and Bower had wide side contain. Bower did go a little wide and ran up the field a little, which helped create a natural hole. He made a mistake on this play as well.

If they handed the ball off to the RB on the read option, LL would have contain to that side and Mills was there to help him in run support. If it was a pass, they have a zone to man responsibiity.... meaning since there is only 2 eligible pass catchers that could go out on that side (TE or RB), they would start out in a zone with Mills having deep zone and LL the flats, and if 1 of the TE or RB went into their zone, they would play it like man to man and stick with that guy, and the other would stick with the other guy.

So lets see... the only person whose responsibility I havent talked about would be Welters, and the only open area is the middle. And Welter is lined up in the middle. His responsibilty was the middle of the field. He failed in that. He bit on the little ball fake because he was looking in the backfield instead of looking at his reads. And he didnt just take a false step or whatever, he bit on the fake really bad and ran 2 gaps over. All the OL had to do was get in his way and the QB was gone, which is what happened.

to the OP:

Q. You only gave up one touchdown against New Mexico State, but it was an 80-yarder, right up the middle, the kind of plays that can worry people about Auburn and what they can do. What did you see on that play that happened?

COACH MILES: The linebacker should have fallen back in that seam and made that tackle. It was a pretty effective play call. Just, again, a mistake, based on not getting the call or based on the player not understanding the call, but we felt like we made improvement in that on the week. They were an up-tempo team and a team that would put pressure on you in terms of not huddling, and we felt like we improved but not necessarily on that play.
