Hmmmm, defenses will load box forcing us to prove we can throw. Glad we never experienced that before.
Yes and we beat Cuse long. One on one coverage throw it up long against anyone and I will take Chark, Davis and Sullivan everytime.
Nice passes but with our o line sustained blocking for long routes vs a UF or Bama will be dicey at best.
Not so fast . I believe in a one on one contest against Chark, Davis and Sullivan whether its Cuse or Alabama my money is still on those 3 to win the battle most of the time. What have we got to lose we can't run on Bama anyway. I say force them into one man coverage and take our chances.
Well Kiki from watching a lot of Saban db's over the years, they can hang with most. I'm not saying your completely wrong, I just don't think that is a secondary we can abandon the run and just throw on. But I do share your enthusiasm for those three and I hope we get some use out of them!
Not saying abandon the run at all. We must run against whomever we play but we are not going to beat Bama by running. Yes they have DB's as good as ours but because of the size, height and athletic ability of the 3 WR's I mentioned we still win the battle most of the time. Besides for any hope of a running game we have to pull them out of the box.
Some of those rushers are tall and have long arms. The QB needs to spot the gaps in between the upraised arms so as not to have his passes blocked. At least that's the way 5'11" Drew Brees does it.
