What happened in 2019 to the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE DEFENSE we’re accustomed to seeing play, especially in RIVALRY games against LSU & AUBURN? Here’s a list of things that went WRONG & must get fixed in 2020 for the DEFENSE followed by FILM:
•Defending Tempo
•Defending Dual threat QB’s
•Bad Communication
•Critical Penalties
•Busted Coverages
•3rd Downs
•Technique Issues
•Tackling
•Getting off blocks upfront
•Conditioning
•Lack of Physicality
•RED-ZONE Defense
Playing the proper TECHNIQUE(inside leverage) in Cover “0” would allow the two outside CORNERS to jump these slant routes & possibly get an INTERCEPTION
When is last time you seen a Nick Saban DEFENSE be this confused?
Pre-Snap penalties will drive a COACH crazy! #SelfInflictedWounds
TEMPO TEMPO TEMPO! The TEMPO of LSU put Alabama’s DEFENSE in some bad spots ALL GAME. Look at the reaction of the CORNER after the play.
It’s 3rd & 3(Money Down) and Alabama needs a STOP🛑. Instead the DEFENSE is not on one accord & allows LSU a gimme TOUCHDOWN.
We’re use to seeing the DLINE of Alabama owning their opponents causing havoc week-in & week-out.
This is a DEFENSE that’s TIRED & EXHAUSTED #Conditioning
This play is right after a missed SACK opportunity, now it’s two(2) missed SACKS with this one coming on 3rd & 8...And to throw salt in the womb, the DEFENSE had a chance to tackle the ball carrier 2-yards BEFORE the 1st Down marker with two(2) guys there to wrap him up!
