Here's the situation: it's January 7th and we've got Bama 3rd and 8. They have Jeudy, Ruggs, Waddle, Smith, and Harris on the field.... How do we line up?

Terrell and Mullen will be outside on Jeudy and Ruggs - fair matchup, they're going to win their share here, but I think we will too.

I would think we task Simmons to line up on Smith. Again, a fair matchup - Simmons is going to have to have a great game in coverage though.

Now, who is on Waddle in the slot? If you've watched any Bama games this year, Waddle's burst is Sammy-esque. Will we have Wallace/Muse line up on him? Will we push a LB out on him? Or do we bring in Fields/Goodrich/McMichael and play nickle?

Corner back depth hasn't hurt us all year - Mullen and Terrell have been healthy and played great. But will this lack of depth hurt us in the playoffs when we need 3 CBs that BV trusts on the field?

If we play nickel, who comes off the field? Lamar or Joseph? If Bama goes 3 wide the whole game do we go small and try and matchup with their speed, trusting our 1st rounders on the Dline to dominate the LOS and contain their run game?

BV has to already have a plan in his head for this situation - no clue what it will be though. We've played essentially zero nickle this year, unlike past years, but with this extra practice time do we implement it? Cat and mouse game here with 2 great coaching staffs.
