how can we beat bama?

[Charlie_Sheen420]

A blessing from the grindmaster Evan Stone wouldn't hurt...

[Homedawg]

Then we won't win. We will need SOME sucess, or we won't win. They will switch to a 3 man front, add a db and will pin their ears back on Dak. Count on a spy being on Dak

Let me save you some trouble;if you are sitting around this week hoping we can win based on running the football, save tour energy because we can't. Go play golf, go hunting, go knit a sweater, watch curling, something. We can win, if dak plays like he has, we cause Coker to turn it over and if we don't give up the big play.

Who said anything about winning based on a run game?

remind TUSK to give you a drink...

Oh so we have to be able to run meant nothing?

[Liverpooldawg]

Then we will not win! Period.

So trying to do something we have had trouble doing against ANYONE against a team that just stonewalled Leanord Fournet is a winning gameplan? That's insane.

[Reason2succeed]

All running backs should basically play H-back this week. No pure runs just pick up the blitz and roll out into the flat all day long. By doing this they will occupy a LB or safety. Slot receivers should have a field day or sing coverage on the outside and Bear will eat.

[Boya]

The key is going to be us capitalizing on early momentum....they will come out flat and we have to get them in an early hole and then hope all hell breaks loose with big plays and turnovers that go out way
Re: bama v. Ole miss 2015
Or
We use inside RB draws, middle screens, QB draws ....everything we can to Exploit the inside ( it won't be handing to shump up the middle on 1 st down)

[smootness]

Goodness folks it's not gonna take a miracle. Bama beat Tennessee by 5 points at home. Oh and lost to Ole Miss. This isn't 2011 Alabama. If our O-line holds up, Dak plays well, and we play disciplined on defense then we have a decent shot at winning. We're at home, and if you look at Bama's schedule, they've struggled coming off big wins all season.

This all day.

[drunkernhelldawg]

How will we tackle Derrick Henry?

And he key quesion finally appears on page 2

[drunkernhelldawg]

Why do you have to run? Why do you basically want to give downs away? If Fournette can't run it on them we sure as heck aren't going to. Pass the ball and give Dak the green light to run if it's there.

It's not giving downs away. It's playing football. This idea that we can just come out in the spread and speed up our normal game on a dime, and then score like Oregon last season is what is insane

You can cringe every time we send a back up the middle if you want, but if we don' do that, Dak will spend the evening flat on his back. We're going to beat Bama, but we're going to do with our team, and that means we'll do it with our game. We might show one or two new plays, but the main thing is we're going to play our normal game.

Love the optimism from another late night dawg. Talked to Fred Ross and Dak tonight, they seemed pumped about ole miss losing tonight. Saturday can't get here soon enough.

[JohnnyQuid]

I'm good with no runs other than designs qb keeps or some read option/option. if we give it to holloway up the gut 1 ****ing time it's 10x too many.
toss it 50+ times. see what happens. don't play tight as dicks hat band play nothing to lose, which is what this is. nobody (mostly) will pick us to beat bama after they raped lsu. air raid freshman! !

[Dawgface]

1- it helps take pressure off the passing game. Don't run, more pass blitzing.

2- to compare LSU's run game to ours is flawed. We don't use the same style at all.

We can run.

We can't run. Haven't all year other than Dak.

[SallyStansbury]

-We should feel them out on the first possession and let them march down the field with us playing soft on D, just the first series***

- we need a steady dose of Shump and Holloway up the middle on early downs to keep BAma honest*** If our guards finally get their footwork and blocking technique right, this should be easy money****

[blacklistedbully]

We must not waste carries on Shump. Every down will be more crucial. Sacrificing any of them, much less 8 or more to Shump could be the nail-in-our-proverbial-coffin. Use Williams and Lee, if Lee is healthy. Hit Malik Dear with some quick screens. Also run enough bubble screens to keep Bama from, "storming-the-castle" with their D-line.

When we use Holloway, it must be the right way, like we did with Perkins his Freshman through Junior years.

Please Dan, open up the playbook. Coach to win!

[Coach007]

Oh so we have to be able to run meant nothing?

you think that having to be able to run and win from a running game is the same thing?

[Coach007]

LSU running isn't the same as us running

[defiantdog]

Bama is soft in coverage and depend on the pass rush to disrupt a play. Quick passes will keep their defense honest.

As far as their offense, Coker can't look off receivers. We need our dbs to be on their game and not get caught looking in the backfield. Ri Brown and his beard might be the key to our defense next week..... We need to disrupt the running lanes .

[MabenMaroon]

You know what! Shump might be the answer. Game plan using Shump up the middle a bunch, the Bammer D-line will be tackling themselves before Shump hits the line, effectively blocking for us, then Shump into the secondary***
