How is Alabama preparing for the 12th Man

Transcript

00:00 >> Players on offense this week emphasize how important it's gonna be to communicate

00:03 on the road.

00:04 How have you seen that side of the ball handle that through practice?

00:07 >> Well, I think the big day for that is, it's really important.

00:11 We've been emphasizing it all week, but

00:13 tomorrow's always the day that we practice with noise.

00:17 I know the center's in the quarterback support a little bit extra on that,

00:23 with noise this week.

00:25 But tomorrow will be the day that we need to really go through the whole practice and

00:31 be able to deal with noise in the net.

00:34 That's really when you can see how much it's gonna impact players.

00:38 So, and we've had some issues with the snap counts,

00:42 hopefully that's not gonna be a problem for us and we'll get that resolved.

00:47 >> When you face a team with a pass rush like this,

00:49 how much of it is adapting what you guys do on offense?

00:51 And then how much of it is just kinda speeding up the clock and kinda-

00:55 >> Well, I think it's a combination of both.

00:57 I think we gotta do a much better job of having a firm pocket and

01:02 protecting the quarterback.

01:04 I think it's really good pass rushers.

01:06 And I also think it's important that we get the ball out of our hands on time so

01:10 that we don't give them an opportunity to affect us.

01:15 So it's really a combination of both.

01:19 And it's a combination of receivers getting open, playing fast, so

01:24 that we can make good decisions about what we do and how we get rid of the ball.

01:29 Okay, that's all I have for now.

01:30 Thank you.

01:31 >> Thank you.
