Title: Alabama-Arkansas 3 things worth talking about, mini grades Post by: bama57 on October 12, 2014, 11:01:16 AM Quote 1. Amari Cooper http://sports.usatoday.com/2014/10/11/alabamaarkansas-3-things-worth-talking-about-mini-grades/Arkansas had two weeks to get ready for him and it showed. The Razorbacks played him tough and knocked down balls in his area. He hasn’t scored since catching three TDs vs. Florida. Has teams figured him out? 2. Defending tight end A week after Ole Miss tight end Evan Engram had a big day against Alabama, Arkansas tight end A.J. Derby catches a 54-yard touchdown pass. Teams are taking advantage of Tide linebackers in coverage.

We have to be able to hit other receivers & tight ends to make teams back off of him. A strong running game would help, too. We can't expect one guy to carry the passing attack, much less the entire offense. Plus, whats happened to Derrick Henry, he's running like he's a 175 pound scat back trying to go lateral all the time.
Quote Special teams — F: Two turnovers on punts and a 30-yard missed field goal overshadowed blocked PAT in favor of Tide. Had four total fumbles on special teams but only lost two. Quote Rushing offense — D: There was little room for T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry to run, but Henry didn’t attack line of scrimmage as he should. ??? |
