Gripe all you want (about the defense)…

[colbysullivan]

Eh, not necessarily. The gameplan would change but I’m pretty confident Ty and our backs could play pretty well.

Defense is totally the problem though, not Milroe.

We would be more than fine with Ty. As you say though, Milroe isn’t the problem. He made some bad decisions today, but our defense is the root cause of all of our issues.

 

[countrytider]

Our defense is a “prevent” defense….we use it the whole game.

the last stop after the successful onside kick was the farthest thing from a prevent defense. We literally brought the house 3 times in a row.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

 

[colbysullivan]

I can’t fathom how/why our defense can’t seem to generate negative, or even zero-gain, plays. Multiple times today, our guys tackled the guy FORWARDS. One of them was a TD that was stopped, and then we tackled them forward into the endzone. I can’t remember seeing a Bama defense do that so many times as this year’s version.

Never saw a sunshine pumper thread I didn't like but staying the heck away from this one.

Wow! You cherry pick. How about pretty much any other drive in the last 9 quarters?

We are not routinely putting pressure on the QB…we are laying back most of the time with a few exceptions here and there. That’s what I’m talking about!

 

[Cruiser]

Sorry, what? If by “10th”, you mean “3rd”, then I agree.

Yes, that was an erroneous statement, thanks

“Let’s play prevent when we should be aggressive, and be aggressive when we should play prevent? They’ll never expect it!”

- Wommack, probably

No. I literally picked the last drives where we either GET A STOP and WIN, or FAIL to get a stop and LOSE.

 

[Cruloc]

….but they got stops when they HAD to.

All I hear is people complaining about defense, and I’m over here watching us try to build an offense around a RB playing QB.

Milroe is the college version of Lamar Jackson. It’s that simple. Can’t read a defense to save his life.

That is all. Roll Tide.

Oh, I'm gonna gripe about the defense....you can bet your bottom dollar on that. The defense is absolutely atrocious and Wommack is awful.

 

[B1GTide]

No. I literally picked the last drives where we either GET A STOP and WIN, or FAIL to get a stop and LOSE.

That does not make up for 60 minutes of failures.

Not really that extreme but ok.

 

[Cruloc]

It's a predicable scheme and Wommack isn't adjusting when he should. We aren't generating pressure without a blitz....but we blitz less than any other team. No pressure leads to huge chunks of yards.

The run D isn't good at all, we give up huge chunks.

If Wommacks D is dependent on turnovers and the other team doesn't turn it over, what then.

So in 6 games you guys have seen all you need to see and it’s time for CKW to go?

I’m glad we have more level headed people in charge.

The irony is we have 3 years of evidence of what Milroe CAN’T do.

Before the season all it was “the defense is going to struggle especially with all the losses…the offense will have to carry us.”

*6 games in* - FIRE WOMMACK.

Ridiculous.

 

[colbysullivan]

It was actually 8 quarters’ worth of football.

 

[colbysullivan]

Not really that extreme but ok.

What do you mean? We were awful against UGA in the 2nd half, then the entire game against Vandy. The 1st half against USCe was equally pathetic.

Undoubtedly, yes. If the answer is anything but “yes”, then you’re lying to yourself. The only reason he’s not been fired yet is because you generally don’t do that type of thing during the season.

Even Gol*ing knew what he was doing schematically, he just didn’t know how to communicate it to the players because his scheme was more complicated than any defense has any right to be in college. Wommack has absolutely no idea what he’s doing, and simply refuses to adjust.

 

[toliver2]

I think Milroe would fit better on the defense! Neither one can see an open receiver.

Both things can be true in that the defense isn’t very good at the moment and Milroe is still the leader of a very boom/bust/inconsistent offense.

That’s an understatement about the offense.

Some of these guys act like this is the 2nd coming of the 2020 offense.
