Alabama Defense

[AWK]

Bama's saving grace on defense this season has been turnovers. Pass rushing has been non existent for the most part. They have also had a hard time containing ANYTHING coming around the edge.  McCaleb on a speed sweep worries me more than Cam gashing us. Our ends and linebackers are big enough to take on Cam. Not to say Cam won't get his yards, but I am confident that Saban will have a better plan to defend Cam than anyone else Auburn has played. Plus, regardless of what yall say, Auburn hasn't  had a test on the road like they will face Friday. Kentucky has never been a tough place to play and they had Auburn on the ropes.

If you have someone "on the ropes", you generally don't lose...by an 80 yard game winning drive.

Auburn = Mohamed Ali?

We are the dirty school evaaaaaa.  Cam Newton dodged the draft.

.  I thought after last years Iron Bowl,  that was the exact definition for "having a team on the ropes".  A few of you are full of shit. I'll let ya'll figure it out.

I thought the ropes cared who was actually ahead when someone is on them.

Being on the ropes chafes.

Being tied with ropes is fun.

Smoking rope ain't too bad either.

Where does Auburn's Rush Defense rank Nationally?

[JR4AU]

The bottom line for me is this...

Can your offense score enough points to keep up with ours?

Statistically Arkansas and Kentucky have better offenses than bama.
Scoring wise Arkansas is better than bama's with Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina all within 2 points of bama.

I'm just not seeing it, no matter what stadium we play in.

Bammers defensive numbers are a bit inflated, having just come off a run of less than juggernautish offensive teams in Tenn., LSU, MSU and GA State.  That said, they're good, but LSU hung nearly twice the number of rushing yards on them that bammer normally gives up.  I think we can run the ball better than LSU.  And, of course, we're not one dimensional, and this aint the smothering bammer D of 2009, that we still had marginal success against.

Found it....Auburn's ranked 11th Nationally in Rush Defense, SPuat is 22nd.

If someone offers toot at a party it's disrespectful to turn it down!

We still have the QB taker outer MD. Fairly wishes he was Marcel.

bammers wish MD was Nick Fairley.

This is the best Alabama defense since '92.

Unless it isn't.

Yup....it's still HILARIOUS.  Especially watching Fairley have his way with the SPuat OLine whenever he wanted to and watching Byron Isom manhandle Marcel whenever he wanted to.....hey bammers, which QB got Closelined, Chokeslammed, Torture Racked & got the Piledriver put on him?  I'll give y'all a hint, one is Superman & the other thinks he's Batman.

What is the status on the Murray kid? Seriously, can he play?

He is fine. That play with Fairley getting "pushed" into his knee was way overblown.

Still not sure why Ga is not without half their team after leaving the bench.
