Just did a film breakdown of Bama vs Vandy and Bama vs Georgia. Here is what I noticed. They is no full game on Missouri yet, so I didn't watch.
- Poster said Sunday that Bama doesn't run the ball well. That's true in terms of big plays. They are more of a ball control run offense that lacks explosiveness. They primarily use the run to set up play action and keep defenses honest.
- Simpson is a zone defense buster. He feasts off of zone defense. More on this next.
- Simpson only threw 3 total deep balls in both games. One was under throw but caught by Williams against Vandy (right). One was a perfect deep throw against Georgia and Williams dropped (middle). Last was a deep throw right and overthrown to Bernard. Most of Simpsons deep throws tend to be high.
- Against Vandy, the only contested throw over 10 yards was the deep ball to Williams. All other pass plays over 10 yards were wide open due to holes in the zone. Only seven throws were more than 10 yards in the air.
- Against Vandy 5 passing plays that went over 10 yards were simple dump offs or screens and all yardage after catch.
Against Georgia he only completed 6 passes that traveled in air over 10 yards. 5 of them were over the middle and many set up by scrambles.
- Against Georgia, 7 pass plays that went over 10 yards were dump off or shorts screens that led to yardage after catch.
Ty Simpson is a typical take what the defense gives you. He almost never throws where he is first looking except for screens. He typically moves LB's and Safeties out of the middle with his eyes and then attacks the middle. He leads drives late in the first half with ease against prevent defenses. He kills zones. He scrambles enough and typically on 3rd and long. He is best on balls in air over 10 yards when he is outside of the pocket. My advice to CTB:
-Don't bite on play action. Just hit the QB.
-Don't be tricked by his eyes. That is how the middle opens up.
-Do not blitz LB's. He lives in the middle. Bring corner blitzes like Miami does.
-He typically only throws outside if defense is in zone.
-We need to wrap up and not go for the big hit. That's how they killed Georgia.
-Jam the WR's all day
-DT's better get their hands up and stay in the middle. Vacating middle is a trap.
-He throws 1-2 picks a game, better catch them. Georgia let him off the hook twice.
-Their kicker sucks, so look for them to go on 4th down often. That means do NOT play soft zone on 3rd and long when they are on our side of the field. They will be looking to get 7-9 yards and go for it on 4th. Do NOT play soft zone on 2nd and long on their side of the field. He looks to get 5-7 yards to set up short 3rd downs. That is what they want.
Also, Vandy has a better defense than Georgia. Georgia had zero pressure on Simpson the entire game. Vandy had 4 sacks, and most were huge losses. If Vandy and Georgia didn't turn the ball over and just took the points (FG's) they both probably win.
