So Evans had 279 yards because he's 6ft 7? No, because our defense let him run by us. Being 6ft 7 doesn't mean anything when you're wide open.
He's 6'5

I may have missed it, but I never saw him "wide open" the whole game.
And, yes. He is only 6-5, which is probably about 7 inches taller than every CB on Bama's roster.

Which is easily fixed. DB's were looking in the backfield, had their hands down on the line playing man, safeties were playing out of position. Expecting that will happen every game is a little "the sky is falling" mentality. Yes, they played horrible against the Aggies. Some of it was the talent and size of the Aggie WR's and some of it was the size of their Oline giving JFF time to make throws. Oregon is a smaller team on the line than the Aggies, and wouldn't have the success the Ags did. Bama will play better against more traditional offenses. Could the lose to Lsu? Sure. Lsu has tons of talent and good coaching. Would it be because Bama sucks? No.

I don't know what game you watched, but the only catch Evans had when he was wide open was the 95 yard TD, and that was because JFF had all day to throw and Evans came back to him on a improvised route. Fulton was all over Evans and so was belue, Evans just caught passes against Fulton cause they were 4 feet over Fultons head.

I don't understand what you expect out of this thread? Do you want Bama fans to say this defense sucks? That our coaches suck at preparing our team to compete?
We've played a total of two games, the offense didn't play well in the first game - and the coaches fixed that problem and we saw much improved offense in game two. The defense didn't play well in the 2nd game against the reigning heisman winning QB and a WR that looked like Wilt Chamberlaine vs our DBs.
Trust this coaching staff to fix the problem area's, it's not like they haven't done it dozens of times before in the past 6 yrs.
