LOCKED - OM's D is good, but

[icouldjustpuke]

Bama may have pissed it away, don't care. I am looking at MSU @ # 1 for the first time in my life. Thanks Bears.

Henry is not BAMA's power back. Neither are a power back. They both need quality blocking to get up to speed.They ran off LT the entire drive behind Robinson. What you were able to do was stack the box and dare Blake Sims to throw down field, which he has shown he can't do very well. You're pass D won that game. That and Blake Sims missed pass to OJ Howard in the end zone. Had he thrown the ball over his left shoulder we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Fair enough, but if we are gonna play the "what if" game, what if the bogus Bama facemask/strip/td had been called correctly? That's 7 points not on the board and said throw is no longer being talked about either.

that's worth noting - Bama wins, we don't get the #1 spot

Until a few weeks from now when we give them a country boy *** woopin at their place.

You should have stopped at the word "good"

They are damn good and are the MAIN reason that they are undefeated. If not for the defense playing lights out, Memphis would have beaten them.

See? It's so simple.

Bama's coach must be an idiot. I mean, who the hell is that moron? He should definitely take play calling advice from y'all and your infinite winning experience and national championships.

Jesus Christ, some of y'all have absolutely lost it.

I already addressed that. The refs called every borderline call that they could in order to make up for that. What if Jones didn't fumble? Take 7 away from you.

Please tell me how Ole Miss got the benefit of the doubt throughout that game.

And yes, Henry is the power back (as in the guy they try to pound with). Telson gets a share of those, but most of his runs will be to the outside with a pulling guard. The stats show this.

Take off your maroon glasses for the slightest of seconds.

Every borderline holding call went against bama, and never against om. Add to that the pass interference that wasn't called against om. BAMA's offense isn't designed around a power or finesse back. It's designed around fresh legs. They used Yeldon just as much in short yardage as the do Henry. When they do line up in power, they bring in Jalston Fowler at FB. Fowler was a power RB at TB last year, but has been moved over. You don't have a clue what color my glasses are. Your premise that you shut down their power back is insane.

Wow, you're really writing your own history book.

Check out Henry's bio from the Alabama website . He's 240 pounds and is most definitely the power back. They were ineffective at pounding him up the middle (what most State fans state would be OM's downfall). Earlier in the game they were effective at running Yeldon to the left side but Wommack made some defensive adjustments and that was shut down which forced Sims to throw.

It's difficult to even address your "didn't cause Jones to fumble" claim. Channing Ward definitely punched the ball out and recorded a "forced fumble." I have a feeling you're just an Ole Miss fan trying to make State fans look crazy because this is pure hogville level of batshit.

I know his bio, I followed his recruitment. His stature doesn't make him a power back. Certainly not one that you can claim "we shut down their power run game." My point on Jones was that he's been quite fumble prone this year. So much so that when he hauled in his first punt last weekend he was given a standing ovation at Bryant Denny. Your doing just as much writing of your own history to say that your defensive adjustments and not play calling is what changed on that drive. Carry on.

It was all over message boards after Balis left, people suggesting he was forced to leave for that reason. Just good intertube rumors. Nothing more.

And it was born on your message board. By you. I guess if I were to start a rumor about one of your coaches and someone takes it to another board, there must be something to it because it's "all over message boards" and it's just "good intertube rumors".

 

[Poundtowndog]

I agree run defense will be called into question against lsu. At this point they havnt stacked the box either. Interested to see if they drop a couple players into the box and let corners play man to man.

 

[hatfieldms]

By all over message boards do you mean OM boards?

Because I had never heard that before until I saw where you were saying it
