Game notes: OM vs Bama

[cbbama99]

Great analysis as always, HSC. Agreed, the guys did not play like the no. 1 team. Completely uninspired performance. Thankfully it did not turn into the "I-told-you-so" game CNS warned about this past week. Hopefully the staff will be getting some minds right over the next two weeks before heading up to Mizzou.

Thanks, coach.  You know how to say what we all saw.  Hope we get some injured guys back for Mizzou!  ROLL TIDE!!!

Another great analysis, Coach. One other thing I noticed while being there at the game was that AJ almost always opted for the short pass, when he had receivers wide open down field on several plays. I know CNS wants to play as vanilla as he can  against lesser opponents, but it made them look bad much of the time last night.

Thanks for sharing that.  I always wonder if other rec's are open.  The view on tv just doesn't let me see the big picture.

AJ almost always opted for the short pass, when he had receivers wide open down field on several plays.

I thought a couple of times that one of our receivers was going
to get decapitated on those plays too ...
they would make the catch and the OM player would swat them down
like a bug , then to the turf they went .

I saw a couple of plays where one of our guys were open a
little deeper down the field  that he could have hit instead .

but like ya'll said , they have a plan , so short it is .
they also make the big bucks for making it ...

AJ has already got one spanking in BDS from CNS , and it was
against a Ms. team ... I'm sure that was enough for him ...

:eye roll: Maybe he hasn't the time to go far into his progression. HTH

Hey hscoach,

What do you think of the play calling?  It seems Bama is sticking with only a hand full of plays.

I also saw very little play action until late in the game. just cant see why bama dont do that more.

I HATE the WR screens, I know they can break sometimes for long gains, but I would say 80% of the time they are a 1 yrd gain or a close int chance for the D.

I also think they are holding back.  I am a huge fan of play action with Bama being such a running team.  I can't remember the stats, but AJ had a big day a while back and his completions were very high when using play action.  I saw very little boot the other day, something Bama had used more in the games before.  I will say, I think the rec's will agree, they were ready for the crossing routes.  It looked like OM played a lot of zone which allowed them to sit on these.  I don't mind WR screens if you have a better athlete on theirs.  Also, I hate them when the throw is about 20+ yards.

[hscoach]

I should have added, there are a couple of philosophies.  One you don't show things so the next team can't work on them.  Two, you show a lot so the team have to decide what they are going to work on.

Hey hscoach, I thank you for your assessment. I do however think those short passes over the middle are going to get our WR's killed. OM  showed others how to tear that middle up with hard hits. You know being out here and a fan is like guessing the wind I have no way of knowing where we are going just they I am afraid I see some weaknesses so others can too. JMHO. RTR!

[hscoach]

I don't mind the crossing routes, especially in man coverage.  I can't see on tv, but I think there needs to be a high low for zone when the crossing routes are run.

[bama87]

I would like some more stick routes. Sometimes the crossing routes take forever to clear. The SS or LB get in the way and the receiver has to clear them.

I really enjoy the weekly game notes and the discussion that it creates.  I'm in the process of working on something that will be very helpful for these discussions.  I have all of the games from the last 2 years on my DVR and I have been copying them onto my computer.  I have taken the Ole Miss game and have been cutting it up into small clips of each play.  I plan to load every play of the game up onto youtube and then create a new board with a topic for each play.  Then we can have our own little film study room.  I am about half way through the first quarter and will probably go ahead and post the 1st quarter when I am done in a little while.  If this gets as much interest as I think it will, I plan to build a specialized section of the site that will be organized so that we can easily pull up any play from any game whenever we want and comment on it.  For now though I will just use a plain old message board format just to get things going to see if it is going to be worth the effort.

Sounds great, SC. I am continuously amazed and appreciative of all the efforts you go through on here to add to the game experience.

Sounds good and also sounds like a lot of work.  It would be fun to look at a clip with others and see what they see. 

Thanks again to all that enjoy the notes and keep the discussions going.
