When you depend on the deep ball as much as Bama does, it will sooner or later catch up with you. Be it personel, injuries, or the other defenses catching up.

Running the ball to open the deep passing game is always going to be the way.

Y’all, it’s not about money or targets. He is a team player and just wants to do what he can to help his team. He said so clearly.

Ultimately, it is about avoiding being 1 dimensional.

If cincy or miss St force us to fling it in order to win, we have to be able to do that. If Florida or Clemson force us to be able to stay disciplined and pound the ball in the run game, we have to be able to do that.

If bama's defense struggles against a balanced approach (good enough to eliminate one or the other but not both), we have to be able to do that.

The beauty of 2021 is that we could do the quick passing game to neutralize a dominant front 4, a run game to slow down a front 4, and take advantage of defensive bubbles in the passing game (often downfield) when one of our athletes is left 1 on one.

I don't think we had the vertical threats all season to "have our way" against zone coverages. Maybe with the Smiths, we can free up some room behind the linebackers.
