Our OL vs Bama DL


Dec 9, 2017, 1:07 PM

Am I wrong for thinking we should dominate them? Besides Payne who do they have that is an elite DL. We return 4 starters from last year and Facellini is all ACC.

Possibly, but Alabama's 3-4 is all

about LB play. DL just wants to occupy OL and keep them off LB, which is easier than just having to "win" your matchup.

Obvious passing downs are different. I think we should do ok there.

What decent DL has our OL dominated in the last 3 years?


Dec 9, 2017, 1:14 PM

They do their job, but they rarely dominate the DL.

IMHO, our OL are dominant when ...

... ETN is handed the ball and accelerates instantaneously through the hole.

Our guys are not the type of OL who can consistently bully the opposition and sustain blocks long enough for a pedestrian back to slog through.

You don't put up the numbers that we have in your run game and pass for the numbers that we have without a great offensive line.

True, but that doesn't mean we will dominate them.

I wouldn't underestimate them.

Their 2 DE's are still pretty good. Granted they're not as good as past Bammers. Da'Shawn Hand shows flashes of his 5* talent from time to time. Davis is a little underrated as well. Frazier is servicable for them at DT for Bammer standards. And Payne, well he's gonna be a pain.

I don't think we will dominate them but we will have our chances to push them around if we run away from Payne who is their best lineman and one of the best DT in the country. If we come to play, I don't see why we can't get our chances to push'em around.

I would say that's a bold statement... Don't recall many times I've ever seen bama's DL get "dominated"

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't think "dominate" is the best word


Dec 9, 2017, 1:42 PM

Have we really dominated any good DL yet? I think we hold our own for sure.

Re: I don't think "dominate" is the best word


Dec 9, 2017, 2:07 PM

Jay Guillermo and Taylor Hearn turned Payne into a push mower last year.

We are fine

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I know we are fine


Dec 9, 2017, 2:18 PM

But we didn't "dominate" last year.... and won't this year. We will hold our own though..... like last year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That was one play. We rushed for about 2 ypc in that


Dec 9, 2017, 2:37 PM [ in reply to Re: I don't think "dominate" is the best word ]

game. We won because of Watson and our excellent WR corp.

Now I don't think their DL is as good as last year, but their front 7 is still elite and they are still 2nd in rushing S&P+ defense.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes, you are wrong.***


Dec 9, 2017, 2:33 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'd be very surprised if it did.***
