Those camera cuts in 07 are way better lol.

I'm really enjoying the lack of psychic DBs

I think things look great so far...except the dreads!!! Man those things are soooooooo bad

The pass rush on the Nebraska vid was 100x better. Which must mean that AU's D line stinks or Bama's O line is god like.

Overall, game looks great IMO. But yes...the dreadlocks are god awful.

madden 12 looks way better!!!!

Didn't get a chance to read the entire thread, but I thought the offensive and defensive line interaction wasn't that bad. Alabama's line did a great job early, but Auburn was only rushing three guys on a couple of those plays. The third play Alabama runs, was a stretch play to the left, and the offensive tackle ended up on the ground--leaving the front side inside to make the play. If you watch this play though; the tight end climbs to the third level and cuts a safety, which was a great block. On the roll out to the right the quarterback was flushed from the pocket. Even on the touchdown pass there was some leakage inside I believe a DT beat the right guard late. Auburn's line did a great job run blocking, but Alabama wasn't blitzing, and I remember at least once only sent three early on in the drive.

For those that don't know since its not linked on the first post, there is a SECOND video on PAGE 10 of this thread that shows some great defense.

Just wanted to post this for anyone who is still concerned about zone defenses this year. Of the 2 videos zone was only ran 7 times against the pass. Of those 7, 4 resulted in a completion which included (1:24 AUB/AL) a pretty nice gain which was because the QB saw the CB blitzing which opened a hole in the zone, (2:53 AUB/AL) Cover 2 vs 4 streaks, also was an odd situation because the WR1 was jammed so hard it created a huge gap between him and WR2 making it harder for the safety to cover both, (4:24 AUB/AL) was a Cover 2 with the OLB blitzing vs HB screen, and finally (4:47 NEB/OSU) Cover 2 with the Nickelback and LB blitzing, obviously if you don't get to the QB there will be holes, QB read it easily because the user blitzed with the Nickel.

Now of the other 3, they looked very good all during NEB/OSU.. (2:33) Cover 2 almost intercepted by CB vs PA pass, (2:53) Cover 2 sink which has the MLB dropping deeper almost like Tampa 2 and he makes a great play by batting the pass to the post down, also should note the safety was right on the WR although may have been beat by a step, (5:07) Cover 2 spy which was knocked down at the line of scrimmage by DL.

So in conclusion there is not enough evidence from these 2 videos to say that zone defense has not been improved. Of the straight up zones with no blitzes the defense was 3 for 4.
