I was watching the KC vs Saints game this past Sunday and Romo made a comment about a slow death when it came to defending the Chiefs. Like KC, I feel Bama relies on explosive plays through the pass game and I'm curious to see what you guys think of dropping 8 in coverage and relying on the DL to provide pressure and let Harris run a bit loose while chewing up the clock.
Jones isn't Mahomes and I feel that dropping in coverage when he's used to getting things out on rhythm will make it difficult for him to hit those long explosive plays they really want to do.
With Dickerson out, I believe this would be a good option. ND strength is their run D and DL, the weakness is the secondary. This seems to help cover the inefficiencies ND may have in the secondary.
Thoughts?
