Just a hunch but I believe we see a new wrinkle/package this week. I could see us in the jets. Stretch the field. We will have to take chances to beat them. A mundane scheme will get swallowed up They will score points. We will have to score at least 24 points IMO.

I’d try to hit them over the top in short yardage with heavy pkg and play action. take your shots with uppercuts-be unorthodox. We have nothing to lose.

Hadad was saying he felt we needed to keep the ball, and grind clock. agree with that, limit them having the ball as much as possible.

I was thinking I’d rope-a-dope them. play dead, bang away, boom.....hit them over the top (Von Clausewitz). play whop some since he can create a match up problem. Fake jet sweep a lot to make them have to defend sideline to sideline every play.

I always think about saban trying to take away whatever you do best. Normally, that would be nick running it, but this year we have been so helter skelter who knows what we do best. I assume he will try to shut kylin down.

Be super awesome to use kylin/Aries at the same time, but I doubt jomo will do that.

1. Shorten the game

2. Don't turn the ball over

3. Nick has to get rid of the ball quicker, can't take negative plays, help our Tackles with chips

4. Can't have the pre-snap penalties that have plagued us on the road at UK and LSU

5. FG's won't cut it. Punts won't cut it. Have to be aggressive on 4th down if your goal is to win the game.

6. Defensively keep doing what you've been doing but I would get an extra corner in the game-Rayford. I don't want our safeties covering the slot. And I would not do our 6 man blitz-that will get lit up. Got to challenge our front 4 to be disruptive b/c we need as many in coverage as possible.

Go 5 wide and run a draw with Fitz 90% of the time. Did we have a coach ever try that?***

Gonna have to have Fitz trust his receivers to come down with it. Recognize man coverage and quick throws to those receivers on vertical routes. If Fitz waits more than three seconds in the pocket to throw any ball he's gonna get sacked.

Also, get Fitz out on bootlegs and Hill on sweeps/flat passes. If they can rush 4 or 5 every play and sack us then we're 17ed.

On defense, don't bring the house. Tua will eat us alive on screen passes.

I’d like for him to watch the game from last year at least 5 times and mix in some new stuff.

Somebody better figure out damn quick how to cover #4.

Yep, #4 is fast and runs precise routes. He uses the ref in the middle of the field for picks as well. Hopefully Guidry and Austin start to watch how he does that.
Surely we put #38 on his side of the field every time.
I would also like to see #41 get his hands on some balls this week. I am not sure, but I do not believe he has a pick yet.

Has that ever been tried!

AGGRESSIVE..

Throw the 17er down the field first play from scrimmage. Open up a 2 QB system, have to do stuff we have never done before and they have never seen from watching film. If we come out playing this conservative BS against Bama then we are 17ed.. if we gonna go down, lets go down swingin........

Id bring the house every down. Try to get to him as often as possible. Maybe tweak that knee and make him have to make fast decisions. Either way we do it we have to get pressure on him every down if not he will eat us alive. Personally im challenging my corners to bump the recievers at the line and never let them get off of it and rush everyone else.

1. move the pocket. If Fitz tries to stay in the pocket he'll get killed.

2. 60 - 40 run/pass, with the passes short out routes.

3. OL better be on their A+ game or it will get ugly quick.

4. Try something new, I think we run the same 10 plays over and over. Do we even have a screen play or shovel pass in our play book?

5. Speed the game up!!

6. Defense need to play lights out.

7. Plenty of fire water for our Indian spirits. Make spirit happy.
