re: Bama Football Tidings

I heard a little of Kevin Steele on wjox today discussing the Ala and Ga defenses. He said both have some basic parts the are exactly the same, but over time as they self scout and offenses have changed there are arms that have grown and are different. He said that unless you have two future NFL cornerbacks it puts the DC in an uncomfortable position to play man on the receivers and bring another pass rusher. He said Ga did not do that all year and did not need to, but against Ala it didnt work. The question is will Kirby change this time. Steele said the biggest problem he thought for Ga was breakdowns on 3rd down. Greg Mc said well thats because Ala ran bunches. "I would run a bunch play every time on Ga". Steele kind of agreed with him that it was a problem for Ga. Cole asked about doubling Williams since he torched Ga last time. Steele said that is easy to do, but then you have the other side of the field to cover. He said Nick Saban and Kirby both have 5 star receivers over there that you might not know much about, but they know exactly what they can do. So you have your other corner in man on someone that you dont know much about, and he might be the next star of the game.
Then he went through all the match up problems the Ga tight end causes. Steele went through all the different positions they line up that tight end. He said when Ga has 2 tights end in the game at the same time, its not as much of a match up problem.
