Listening to the BB show, they are talking about Jeffrey Simmons seeing double team. Have we moved him around on the line any to combat this?
Couldn't they move him outside to rush the tackles as a way to switch it up and avoid double teams?

Holding is holding whether you're being double teamed or not.
You wouldn't want to move him to end... but you could run some twist stunts. Haven't watched close enough to know if we have done that or not.
But if they get holding on you inside on a double team.. and the ref doesn't call it.. not much you can do except fight like hell and learn from it.
Getting Cory Thomas back will help a lot.
the sack fumble by Jeff was on a twist.
And then they started the double team holding. If those sorry ass refs had thrown a couple of flags for that shit we would have seen Simmons actually putting more pressure on Stidham. He was doing a good job in the first quarter.Quote:

he should, but really why should a Ref need to be worked ? I was a Ref for years. If there was a hold I called it early and a funny thing--they quit holding. If you double team a player then you for sure need to be vigilant on the holds. A double team with holding is surly an unfair advantage.Quote:

We played two SEC top ten teams on the road in their SEC home openers. The person we should be pissed at is whoever was in the SEC office that made that shitty schedule. I will make a prediction. We will be 7-2 when we play Bama and our DL will get penetration like we did in the first three games. It’s really not going out on a limb there either.Quote:

Auburn is the worst place to play in the SEC. worse than bama worse than any other place. We have been bent over by the refs more there than any where else. Dan needs to call them out loudly make the SEC fine him. Bring national attention to it.
Simmons has been held since Athens. Non-stop.
