alabama arguably has the best offensive line in the country - we don't (to put it lightly). on their last drive against lsu, they left a back in to block, and had 1 and one time, 2 tight ends pass blocking in addition to their all american offensive line. aTm blitzes us on 3rd and 9/3rd and 11, etc., and we are no backs/no tight ends with tyler getting his teeth knocked in. I don't get it - tyler has the talent to hit a receiver even if it is 3 receivers against 4 db's as long as you give him time---if it is a passing down, WE HAVE TO MAX PROTECT in these last 3 games --- we got away with it the first 7, because those teams didn't have the horses---alabama had them, aTm had them, LSU has them, ark has them, and tsun has them.
why no max protect????

I thought it was interesting, after the game Saban was talking to the Gameday crew, and he said (paraphrasing) 'Every Thursday we review what the opponent runs on D in the 2 minute drill, and tonight they did exactly what we expected them to do."
It was obvious they knew there was soft spots in that coverage about 15-25 yards out because Norwood sat down right there on the first three plays. I dont know if they picked up the weakside blitz on film inside the 20 or if it was just a bit of luck, but apparently Saban drilled Chavis on that one. Cost them the season, and probably put Bama in the NC.

Becasuse spread teams
want to take people out of the box by spreading people out. I get what your point though.
