We appreciate you watching the show and hope that you continue to do so. I'm not an expert by any means regarding defensive schemes so take these comments with a "grain of salt". Knowing Alabama and their tendency to be a more run-oriented offense, I would suspect that Coach Martinez will probably try and play a little more man/bump and run coverage this week in an effort to align our secondary players a little closer to the line of scrimmage to stop the run. He might even roll a free safety up to play almost like a fourth linebacker in some cases. As far as preparing for the passing component of the Tide's offense, I would be very physical with their receivers (think what UGA did to Calvin Johnson a couple of years ago). Julio Jones is a speciman but I'm not sure if he has faced DB's like UGA has yet. The key is to get him, as well as the other receivers off their game, maybe jaw at them a little bit and let them know we'll be there all day. Lastly, I think the secondary obviously needs to tackle well the WHOLE game.
