Aubie Sp96,

There are ways to impact the QB without sacking him. Your only metric you're offering is sacks. That's no good for you.

Look at that gif above. Milroe threw unprovoked and whenever he wanted to. Two extra rushers might've had him running left to right or right to left or forced his eyes to focus heavily on rushers and that would've helped distract Jalen from finding the 1v1 at the perfect time. Fact of the matter is even when we didnt sack him there were other times we chased him all over the place.

Another thing, we dont even have to appeal to logic. I havent seen anybody offer a defense for Roberts other than Freeze.

Most of these Hail Mary plays QBs have plenty of time, in particular when they have a good OL like Bama and would have been allowed to hold as much as possible. After sleeping on it, I’ve come to the realization we weren’t supposed to win. 8 players to cover 5, cmon, he threw it after like 3sec which was enough time for the WR to get down there and zig/zag to the corner and the throw was an absolute bullet in the only spot it could be put. Just think, if they didn’t get it, the center and Milro would be getting destroyed right now. It was luck, pure luck and it went their way.
