I watched most of the game against UT and I think I finally understand why Kiffen calls such weird plays....

I'm convinced he is trying to hide a weak OL. I don't say that lightly, considering Bama has had the best OL in the nation for several years running.

Cam Rob has been playing hurt, the week off should help. I think they run block pretty well but are not very good on pass blocking. People are sending more than we have trying to block them even on running plays and dropping safeties super deep to stop Kiffin from hitting them long like they did with Cooper all last year.

Coker with time has been pretty effective.

Mario Cristobal. He is not a good coach, just a great recruiter. Hope he gets the Miami Job.

Saw Cam Robinson (regarded as their best O-lineman) give up 2 sacks in back to back plays.

Might've been the worst game they played so far as a unit. Give props to UT. Vereen and #21 wrecked all day. They didn't even have the Tuttle kid, either.

Cam Robinson looked like Chris Capps at times. Bye week couldn't have came at a better time.

Kiff is just a left coast guy who likes to pass the ball. Saban has to keep him in check

They aren't awful, just inconsistent.


Like, one play we will block a run play perfectly and Henry will go for 30 yards, and the next play, false start penalty, or a missed assignment.

It seems like we've had trouble picking up schemes in pass blocking. Coker has been having to throw with guys in his face for a few games now.

Cam Rob has had a sophomore slump.

I don't expect things to magically be that much better vs LSU. It will be a struggle and Coker is going to have to be smart and know where his trap doors are.

Robinson has been nagged with an injury all year.

I mean, okay, but Henry had 143 yards himself. I guess that number is with yards lost on sacks. Which isn't good. But let's not act like we weren't able to run the ball.

The 2013 and 2014 OLs weren't all that good either

Alabama is 3rd in the SEC in Total Offense, LSU 4th. That's all you need to know.

If that's the strategy we have to hit the mid level crosses, slants and Howard early down the seam to take advantage of the open space
