Interesting tidbit into how Bama is preparing for Denard Robinson...

[rolltide14_0]

Here's a quote from our guy on tidesports...

"Front seven defenders say they're being taught not to jump to bat down Robinson's throws because he ball fakes too much for that. Hands up, but feet stay on the ground, that's how they're being taught. Apparently Blake Sims ball faked pass rushers off their feet four or five times at practice Saturday and it was, shal we say, emphasized."

Not much info right now, hopefully later we will get some insight into how we're preparing for his mobility. It's clear Blake Sims is playing the Denard role.

During Saban's press conference today he stated they are practicing to not jump because Denard can ball fake like Michael Jordan.

Denard and Michael Jordan in the same sentence ... LOVE IT. Not true, but I love it.

Look, I'd hate to sound like the cocky arrogant BAMA fan. Butttttt, where are all of you guise going to drink after the win this Saturday?

That's not cocky at all ... Dooley's in Ann Arbor. Come up and buy me a drink to celebrate a MICHIGAN Victory.

I thought it was a great compliment from Saban to Denard.

It sure is. The rationale me says Denard is not worthy.

Here's a Denard highlight video I found, and I know our defense is much better than any of these teams, but I think his passing is underrated a bit.

all Bama really needs to do is copy VT, i know the score doesnt show it (couple bad break downs and some horrid officiating)

Denard Robinson in the Sugar Bowl:
9/21 - 117 yards - 2 TDs - 1 INT (really 2 INTs, but that was some of that horrid officiating i mentioned)

13 carries for 13 yards

Robinson is a schmuck

I'll have a couple of Jack's & water right before kickoff, then beer during the game. Going to my brothers house, it's only a couple of minutes from my home. Taking my 8 & 5 year old because my wife is a Barner & the kids are Bama fans & she can't handle them running around acting crazy because Bama wins!!!! LOL

Robinson is a crafty little dude, I'm sure J. Harris & CJ Moseley are ready to introduce themselves...

Finally someone gets it. I've seen so many people eat turf while Robinson uses them as a damn foot bridge because of that.

Here's a quote from 2014 recruit Demetrius Knox regarding his talk with our coaches...

"I talked to the coaches a few days ago. They were basically saying they are going to dominate this weekend. It's simple as that."

All Robinson has to do is be himself and the Heisman is his.

According to this guy, Bama has no idea what's coming for them...

Michigan radio host: 'Alabama has no idea what is coming' | al.com

This is my favorite part...

"Alabama thinks that just by showing up, they'll win. My gut feeling is the Crimson Tide already are counting the win without playing the game."

Apparently he hasn't heard from any of our players...

Nico Johnson: "He's super fast," Alabama linebacker Nico Johnson said. "He doesn't get credit for how good he really is."

Nick Saban: "A lot of times, different than some guys who are athletic, he extends the plays and makes big plays throwing it," Saban said.

"He doesn't just take off and run like some guys do. He extends the play and keeps his eyes down the field. He has gotten pretty good at doing that and has gotten a lot of big plays doing that."

Robert Lester: "Just know that he can scramble out of the pocket and extend plays and make plays," safety Robert Lester said. "Just be fundamentally sound. We're going to do our job, that's what we're supposed to do. We've got to trust that the (defensive) line and the linebackers are going to do their job and contain him and rush him."

Damion Square: "No doubt about it," defensive lineman Damion Square said. "You don't want that guy to make plays happen, try to stop his feet and stop keep him in the pocket and do a good job up front, so that the guys in the secondary don't have to worry about coming up and breaking coverage."

Sounds like nothing but positive things toward Robinson.

This game is big to our guys, just like it is to Michigan, that guy is a cock nozzle.

I'm sure Bama's already getting ready for the Hilltoppers.
