Better vandrbilt than LSU!

 

[D-Vols]

This is gonna be a long 2 hour wait

Better vandrbilt than LSU!

I’m lukewarm on it. I don’t care for bayou Brian but I hate Vanderbilt and that sniveling snot having more momentum.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Do we blitz enough today to make Simpson feel pressure or do we rush 4 and play zone all day.
I’m an optimist, but a realist.

Who knows what Banks does?

Who knows. Since we’re gonna be giving up yardage and points; may as well blitz the crap out of him and get some hits on him. Maybe get a turnover or two.

 

[Volbrando]

We win we might be sniffing the top 5

We don’t have to “blitz enough” to get pressure. Our front four alone is capable of generating pressure….

On your other point, I wish we’d abandon the zone. At this point, Hood has established himself to play man. Redmond while young has had more than enough quality playing time to roll the dice and allow him to play man for long portions of the game.

We don’t have to blitz to get to the QB.

I'm with you about getting out of zone.
I think because Redmon got picked on and then beat up pretty good in the UGA and Ms St games, Banks is afraid to get out of zone.

I'm with you though. Get out of zone, put a.spy on Simpson and drop a man back to help Redmon if needed.

I don’t believe we need to spy Simpson. He’s mobile but not quick. As long as our front 4 keep their lanes, we should be able to hit him multiple times.

Sounds good. We shouldn’t have any issues pressuring him then.

We lead the league in sacks. I’m fairly confident we can get generate pressure without blitzing.

I hope you’re right

You can just be “ the idiot”

 

[posivol]

our boys have been disrespected by the national media and even several of our podcasters.

hope this lights a fire in their bellies to take what is ours....THE WIN.

I think we have to mix it up. The last few times we did that was against Ohio State and UGA last year.

 

[Volnanza]

I don’t believe we need to spy Simpson. He’s mobile but not quick. As long as our front 4 keep their lanes, we should be able to hit him multiple times.

I believe that Fla. St. did that during the game.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Just left the cigar shop, I'm ready to fire this bad boy up.

Can't blame media, they have seen our defense

 

[JMSqb11]

I believe that Fla. St. did that during the game.

That game is pretty meaningless. Both teams from that game are completely different now that we are in mid season.

Bama wasn’t ready to start the season and that is evident.

 

[connor]

Can it be game time already

 

[Other_Guy]

Can't blame media, they have seen our defense

State and Arky struggling to score.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Good thing we have an offense too .

 

[Powder and shot]

If we win it will be be because everyone will figure out Alabama isn’t as good as they thought. The needle will barely move.
