auburn4ever 1,266 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Have his defense line up in the 3-4 on some plays? I thought we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGLEATON 1,244 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I thought it was basically a 4-3 we lined up in a few times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburntiger1987 759 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 sometimes i thought he put us in a 3-3-5, 4-2-5 and 4-3 base. I like the multiple fronts with Cass being a small DE and thereze up the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGLEATON 1,244 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The ONLY bad thing about watching the replay is we did so good on Offense... and they were so bad on Offense, we don't hardly get to see any of our great defensive play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leglessdan 1,934 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We've been doing that on occasion all year. Correct. ....it's also one of the first things he said in his presser after his hire. He wants multiple looks and to play fast and aggressive. He's developing the players to adapt to it. Just imagine in a couple of years when he truly gets to mold the incoming recruits to fit his theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well their shoddy is directly attributed to our fantastic Defensive play...so...to put a positive spin on your point of view, it's a good thing you didn't get to see much. LSU was 0-fer 3rd down. Gimme more games played like that by our D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme more games played like that by our D. I really didn't mean anything negative re: my point of view, as I said we had great defensive play..., I guess I assumed that the fact that that lead to their shoddy / poor offensive play would be understood... It was kinda meant as a light comment regarding not getting to see any of our great defense play on the game Replay as they CUT out half the game (this one cut's out almost ALL of our Defensive plays) I'd kinda like to see... guess I should have used a smiley face after it? and YES give me a many more games by our D... agreed.

NoALtiger 3,849 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Not many Ellis doubters on here today it appears. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17-16 21 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Several years of poor tackling has been gut-wrenching for me. Above all else in this game, I was MOST excited about the tackling. This was by far the best the AU defense has tackled in years. It has taken a long time to correct, and I hope to goodness no coaching staff will ever neglect teaching proper tackling fundamentals again. I know there may be some who were not happy with CEJ, but no schemes or 3-4's or 4-3's or anything else can compensate for the poor tackling to the extent we have seen the past few years. The real genius behind this defense is CEJ and staff took the time to TEACH these great athletes how to carry out their assignments in a fundamentally sound way. JMHO of course.

aucanucktiger 1,789 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm an Ellis coaching & gameplan over the long haul doubter. The man can recruit. We'll see come December what his gameplans have done this season with the terrific recruits he's brought in. Keep it up Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareagleguy 1,393 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have to agree. The fundamentals have been much better. I think CEJ and his staff have done a great job. As others have said, schemes don't mean much when you can't win the LOS, get leverage, square up, make solid, consistent open field tackles and DBs do not turn and play the ball. Yes, there is still room for growth in these areas. I would like to see the DBs play the ball more consistently and have softer hands. But, the one thing I kept thinking to myself last night was how much our tackling, especially in the open field, has improved drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 AU is light years ahead of where they were last year. Fundamentals have been lacking at all levels of football. Kids weren't taught proper technique. It is starting to be done now but it will be some time yet before these kids get to college ball with that already instilled in them. The spotscenter highlight blow someone up play was what got you noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
