Roman - Bama Film Review


Coach Macho said:
This play is embarrassing for two reasons.

1. Why are you playing Cover-1 and not sending pressure? That makes no sense. A double A-gap pressure would've been nice here. Make him get the ball out. This route would've never had time to bust open.

2. Why is Gurvan Hall on the boundary hash instead of MOF?
If Hall is aligned at MOF then he can prevent this touchdown.

The second part is what I've harped on. Relatively common approach to overprotect the boundary side. Kinda strange, honestly. Like other things we do, it seems we have a half measure approach. Aggressive, if not wild front, then a super soft back. Aggressive, if not wild coverage call, then a conservative front. In this example, we "sorta" wanted to double Metchie, but also sorta wanted to split Gurvan in the middle of the field. Gurvan doesn't anticipate the play well, but it's one of those where we're in trouble prior to the snap.

I thought our OL was good for them playing against superior pro bowl type talent. I expected Florida vs us but we were better. They were just overwhelmed by speed length and physicality. That had to affect play calling

Maybe if we slowed down just a bit they could see where the defenders are coming from and set the protection. Kind of how Alabama does. Maybe get to the line fast but vary the speed in which we snap the ball.

He was playing single high safety in the middle because it was man coverage and he had Menchie on one side (not seeing on TV screen) and then help on Ivey with Williams. I think he had his eyes on Menchie and bit on a fake move Menchie made I believe, so he took a false step towards Menchie and then he tried to get back. It’s on the Roman video. I could be interpreting incorrectly so what you’re saying is that there should’ve been two safeties in that coverage or just let the man below (Couch) handle the boundary and he should’ve been shaded on Ivey’s guy the whole time?

He’s saying we were beat on alignment because Hall was favoring boundary hash instead of middle of the field. Without pressure all the WR needed to do was beat Ivey and there was no help

Becasue that stuff works against poor teams. You don't beat the better teams anymore doing this kind of stuff.

But our coaches don't seem to know the difference between the better teams and GT. It just shows the difference between the coaching level and how we think a Bama would fall for this kind of stuff. They prepared for Bama like we would for Duke.

Yeah, Lets catch them off guard and go hurry.....those NFL Bama coaches were probably disapointed in the low effort and slightly amused.

Not to be a complete *** hole, but Manny is 1-2 against both those teams that you are presenting as easy opponents 🤢

I haven’t rewatched it yet but just from being there and the limited clips I have seen, I may have actually been too low on Bryce Young all summer when I said he’s going to be the best QB Bama has ever had. That kid was absolutely sensational.

We have a history of making backup QB’s look like the next great coming. Imagine a 5 star like him. Let’s pump the breaks on the best they ever had after playing us.

Dude on Twitter is breaking down film and it's giving me a new perspective. While our performance wasn't the best, there were plays to be made.


If Scaife can hold his block for one more second.

It’s the little things. So in this thread, Scaife getting blown up and a holding no call in the end zone changed points from “we competed and show heart” to “fire everyone, canes tears”…..

Kid is brilliant, but we never did anything to make him doubt yesterday.

Would he have been so poised if every play wasn’t completely telegraphed?

There were plays to be made, I know everyone is jumping on him but if you listen to the Lashlee interview a couple of things make sense.

This is my point. Nobody on this board has looked it up, but go look at the box score in the championship game last year. Our numbers compares to OSU are very similar and they didn’t give up the ball 3 times. I don’t think we are all world but I don’t really see games that we should be losing.

I would also look at the box score for our game against Clemson last year.

#2 is mind boggling. We are talking about pop warner type **** here with simple alignment principles. Im honestly curious if that is how the scheme is supposed to line up against that formation or if Hall just f’d up.
