Well this is a rebuilding year and it’s important to establish your processes while trying to win every game. You have to build upon a base and foundation. It’s how it has always been. This isn’t video game football where you get immediate satisfaction by learning cheats to win.
It is through hard work and repetition. Harsin isn’t concerned about making you happy. He’s busy building a program for long term success. It may be bumpy and frustrating, but it’s being done so we can celebrate a lot of wins every year.
For fricks sake, we can't blitz during this rebuilding year? Are we doomed to see a constant 3 man rush and letting the QB have an eternity to find an open receiver?
We are in for a long arse season if we continue down the path we took Saturday night, in regards to defense. When's the last time Ole Miss put a beat down on Auburn? I'm 51, and that was always and expected win. We run that same defense scheme against them, and Kiffin will name the score.

The 3-man rush verbiage isn’t correct. Playing 3 d-lineman means they’re supposed to create a “wall” of sorts which free’s up the LB’s and DB’s to fly to the ball.
Saban has done this this for years. Problem was we never ran any LB or DB blitzes to rattle their QB. That’s all on Mason.

Their QB was 28-32. That is a ridiculous stat and that should occupy Mason's mind going forward, especially considering who is left on the schedule. Otherwise, he might not be around next year to see his scheme and plan, play out.
We all were calling for Gus' head over our losing record to our rivals. What do we say when we aren't even competitive against them and get beat by the Mississippi schools and their air-raid offenses? I hate what I saw Saturday, and I more disturbed by the lack of adjustments to correct the problem during the game. Apologists will do what they are good at, and tell me to "just wait", just like I heard the last few years seeing "whirlybirds" "backward passes" and "spiking the football backwards".
Piss poor coaching isn't that hard to identify, and I saw a seasons worth on Saturday.

We talking defense pass coverage, not switching from a Pro-style offense to the wishbone.

Exactly. Blitz, blitz, blitz
If the option is a slow death touchdown drive, or risking giving up a big play but also a good chance of getting a stop, give me option 2.

Did we go man and blitz?
Did their QB go 28-32?
Did we win?
Nick Fairly and Derrick Brown ain't stepping thru the door, so Mason had better start dialing up some stunts for our VERY athletic LBs!

I get it, but you just keep going on and on and on as if your bitching here will make it all better. The same bitching at that.
We already know bro and yes I want some of the same things but it just isn't going to always work out.
I already expected a long season, but hoping for some magic.
14-1 Ship!
Never mind me. Carry on with your heartache and anger. It is not for me stop that. I have decided to try and be nicer and kinder. Melt away fellow Aubie.

Serious question: how did Derek Mason's defense at Stanford perform against pass-happy teams?
Posted on 9/22/21 at 5:52 am to Rhino5
According to Tate or BMatt we ran 10 blitz plays. I only remember 3 - one on the first drive, another on the INT (delayed), and another where our LB fell down got back up and the QB still had another 3 seconds to throw the ball while standing still.

2010 he was the DB coach so I didn't use that because I don't know if it was the scheme he uses as a DC.
He was CO DC in 2011 and they allowed 253 yds passing per game and team D they allowed 21.9 pts per game. 7 interceptions, 1 returned for td.
He was DC in 2012 and they allowed 239.6 in passing yds and 17 pts per game as a defensive unit. 15 Interceptions w 4 returned for TD's.

This one hurt more than a blowout, so yep, I'm melting.
I'm hoping for some magic too. Hopefully, our coaching staff saw exactly what we have in regards to personell, and positive changes are coming. I don't know if it's a good thing, or a bad thing that we have another cupcake coming up, but I imagine, if Mason is as smart as I think he is, we will see more stunts in prep for upcoming opponents.
BTW, our OL coach should get a raise.

How about a gold star after the first few games.
Now if the OL gives an A/B performance against GA, I'm which ya on the raise...

Ironically I believe our offensive personnel are better suited for a wishbone than pro-style offense this year; a pair of great running backs who should be on field together, good running QB, and adequate line, but a less than average if not poor receiver group. Not saying we should switch to wishbone, but our offensive personnel might be a better fit for it this year.

This is the right attitude to have. We will move on and improve.

We lost.
We did enough poorly to lose.
We need to get it corrected ASAP.
The refs were pitiful.
Losing track of a down is an egregious error.
The targeting review was a makeup call and should be reversed by league review.
The PI calls are judgment calls. It’s whatever they say.

The reality is their qb played pitch and catch with his receivers. I think bobo panicked a little early and got away from what's been working for us. It was very winnable but we got beat fair and square.
Posted on 9/25/21 at 11:45 am to Aubie Spr96
Exactly this! We had 18 targets on Jackson and Robinson and only got 7 catches from them, they gotta do better there! 2-8 for Jackson and 5-10 for Robinson. Not saying we win if they do better, but our chances increase dramatically. I just hope they realize this as a team and continue on confidently knowing they played a good game in a hostile environment and can beat good opponents.
Posted on 9/25/21 at 12:10 pm to AUBUC
Jackson should only be out there when we're 4 or 5 wide. Robinson is a solid #2 receiver. Need to magically have a #1 step forward. Hudson's a good #3...can make plays after the catch.
Right now I think our most consistent passing play is the check down to the RB or TE.
