I think it really boils down to his actual nature *edit* mixed with the unpredictable nature of those kinds of plays.
I would wager this man has a 5 point game plan going in to drop a deuce. So, his default understanding of how to put some X's and O's mechanics to what basically amounts to random/chaos being turned into positive yardage by an X factor like a QB being chased is not very good.
Then again... there's not a lot that many coaches have done that have totally put that sort of wild card INTO control, because it really boils down to the QB not making a major mistake. It's virtually impossible to predict and therefore to plan for.
You can tell your guys "hey, play heads up football. be prepared for anything... watch him" all you want.

Mobile QBs neutralize Bama's Dline which is the strength of their D

Its the Mike Vick effect
Watch how teams played MV back in the day. They slow played their DLs to try to keep him in the pocket so they can still run their coverages without losing a man.
You honestly believe Bamas Dline just didnt show last night? No they slow played and tried to stay in their gaps, players said after the game we just tried to keep him in the pocket.
Players like that make defenses play scared but usually end up hurting themselves more by not just going after them.
