Not talked about yet…

How about that game from Peyton Lewis. Stats won’t wow you, but he had a great game and I hope it means the game is slowing down for him.

2tds

Third and seven run to seal it.

Sprang a big block for Joey on his 20+ run.

And just played solid overall.

If he figures it out, my goodness he is a specimen.

Ever since I hyped him up, Thomas hasn't played as well the last couple of games; and Lewis (whom, while not giving up on him, I most definitely have wanted to see Morris a bit more over him) has looked solid over the last 3 games. Still dont like him missing blocks or dropping passes, but he's running hard, and has been great around the goal line.

Still would like to see more of Morris, when healthy. Not giving up on Star neither; but, id like to see, going forward, primary 2 backs, going with hot hand, and that hot hand getting spelled a few times over the course. If multiple backs are eating, keep multiple backs eating; but, if Bishop is running like he did the other night, give it to him 25/maybe 30 times. I dont want any of them worn into the ground; but, we may have to ride an individual RB performance to a win at some point this year, maybe this week. I like rotation, staying fresh; but, sometimes I dont. If Bama cannot stop Bishop or Lewis or whoever, run him to a win. Hope all 3 eat this week, though. I think they can.

We’re actually good at forcing third and longs, but the worst in the SEC at stopping them.

We are AWFUL at covering the middle of the field, and it goes back to linebacker and safety talent.

That stat is criminal. Somebody or somebodies should be put in the stockades one Saturday night on Gay Street.

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.
