    When are they going to take these out of the game. Their 1st TD was a classic pick play and it's darn near impossible to stop. Clemson won their 1st NC on the same play. Really need to make things fair to the D and that play just isn't.

    As long as it’s legal, shame on us and anybody else for not taking advantage of it.

    Yeah thats impossible for a defender to stop. Like in basketball, I guess defenders should try to recognize it and switch off.

    Not that easy to switch if you watch them develop. The other defender gets a step behind in the wash. The space in football and bball are not the same. Supposed to be if you're blocking it's a pick. They did call it once today. But if a receiver goes directly into a defender he's not running a route, he's blocking whether he has his arms up or not. Should be offensive PI, but it's rarely called and when it is, it's random. And yes, we should run the same play.

    How should we defend it?

    Not sure. I don't see it defended very well period. Remember the Clemson NC. Receiver was wide open. How should Bama of defended it? For starters if we can't beat them, at least join them and use it ourselves.
