I'm sure our ends will try and get upfield no deeper than him to try and contain him. If we can slow him down a bit we can force him to beat us with his arm.

I think we run the ball well on their defense. If we can I think we can score ample points on their defense.

You better instal some fricking afterburners in your DE's. That kid is slicker than greased pigs. He can bust out for 20-30 from damn near anywhere.

He hates staying in the pocket. He gets jumpy and looks to scramble even when it isn't needed. Play your combo coverage, keep him in the pocket, and Alabama will be fine.

This is the first thread I've jumped in tonight, so congrats on the win Bama fans.

the same way you stop any mobile qb. you keep him in the pocket with a controlled rush. sacking him wont be a priority. he makes almost all of his big plays (both run and pass) once the play disintegrates and hes out there in space. same plan as for denard robinson, although manziel is a better passer. also, you limit his opportunities by playing ball control offense. I know one thing, aTm will not be able to stop our ground game, so i figure we will ride that and eat the clock.

Who cares about how many points Johnny Football puts up? Does anybody see the aTm defense stopping the Alabama offense?

It won't matter. Nothing matters. Alabama sold their souls and are getting the reward. The MNC will be theirs once again this year. frick the bastards, but it doesn't really matter at this point. frick that god damned POS town, school, and everything and everyone involved with it.

The D front just needs to keep him in front of them. The "mush rush" will be key for us. Don't run past him and let him take off right behind you.

Bama played its toughest game of the season last night. The rest will be a breeze.

Rush 3-4 only, drop the LBs. Don't get to far upfield or he will step up and scramble up the middle. It's all about contain.

Make him throw against 7 or 8 lbs and dbs combined and he will likely struggle.

Johnny's legs aren't what you should be worried about. Mike Evans and Swope are going to have a field day against your secondary. Your linebackers doing their thing against our running game is going to be where your execution needs to be on point all afternoon.
