    Alabama's O-Line Gave Keelon Russell All Day | South Carolina

    Send us Fan Mail George spent Saturday at Baylor-Colorado instead of Bryant-Denny, on tickets that fell in his lap from a friend on the John Paul II board. He called the game boring. Then he watched the South Carolina tape and found plenty worth talking about. Alabama won 49-18, and the number that explains it is time. Keelon Russell went 21-of-27 for 365 yards and four touchdowns at 13.5 yards an attempt, and on play after play he stood in a pocket nobody touched — two sacks and three hurries across 27 dropbacks. Alabama's passing PPA was 0.920 against a rushing PPA of 0.090. This was not a balanced win. It was a protected quarterback throwing at will. Eight plays, five on offense and three on defense. The offensive tape keeps arriving at the same place: protection bought time, and time let Alabama call things that simply do not work when the quarterback has to hurry. A long-developing concept out of a dirty bunch that JT calls fancy smash — smash with extra steps, coming from a long way away. A big-boy throw from the left hash to the far numbers, an NFL throw from a college alignment. A four-second pocket where the line passes off a twist clean. A pulled center that moves both inside linebackers the wrong way before the ball goes back the other direction. And a designed quarterback run where one motion erases a defender from the box entirely. Also on offense: why you throw to the grass and not to the receiver, how the players had to be watching film too in order to rip it that fast, and motion as a coverage tell rather than decoration. On defense: the first play of the game goes for a long run, and they spend real time working out who was actually wrong — a defensive end running at the quarterback, a three technique swimming the wrong way, two gaps left open, and whether Metz needed to loop. A disguised coverage that ends with a corner in the deep half. And the pick six, where Lanorris Sellers was throwing to Nyck Harbor and Red Morgan took it instead. Plus: why Alabama finally started fast, linebacker play that looks nothing like the last two years, coaching up Dijon Lee's press technique and why you open before you jam, teaching tackling without the hip drop, and the South Carolina ranking paradox — either Mississippi State is not as good as everybody says, or South Carolina is not as bad as everybody says. George opens the show with a message about ridiculing coaches, and it is worth the six minutes. The film clips and drawings are in the video version: https://youtu.be/qR3GaZI2w7s Just want the film?

    The Offensive Line Made Florida State Quit | Alabama 50-36

    Send us Fan Mail JT goes solo again. The Monday show got bumped by a softball game, and by the time Tuesday came around his dad wasn't available — so it's one host and the film. Alabama beat Florida State 50-36. JT was in New York, checking the score at dinner, watching it sit at 21-6 and wondering whether this was Kentucky all over again or whether Florida State just had Kalen DeBoer's number. Then he watched the tape. Thirteen plays, and the argument is simple: Alabama has a run game. It doesn't look like it in the first half. It looks like it by the end of the second quarter, when the offensive line made Florida State quit. Most of this episode is about how small the difference is. A down block where the lineman gets a half-step too far in front. A center losing three feet of ground and muddying the running back's read. The same play that goes for negative one goes for twenty when the hand placement is right. Plus the best blocking tight end room in the country, single-double-triple O-line communication, outside zone convoys, pin and pull, and what it must feel like to escort a freshman running back untouched into the end zone. On defense: 36 points and too many big plays. A screen Alabama should have read and tackled better, a 56-yard cover two bust where the safety sits down instead of climbing the hash and picking up trash, a 40-yard gain that turns into a race to space because nobody got hands on at the line. Spill versus box, and why the sideline is the best tackler on any team. Then two interceptions — one serendipitous, one earned, because the ball finds effort.

    FILM: What Changed At Halftime | Alabama vs Kentucky, Keelon Russell

    Send us Fan Mail George's internet got cut by a crew digging at his neighbor's house, so JT goes solo. The show goes on. Alabama beat Kentucky 45-17, but the first half was an abject disaster: pick six, fumble, field goal, field goal, interception. Then the second half was 32-0. Four sacks allowed before halftime, zero after, and Kentucky finished 1-for-14 on third down. Thirteen plays — ten on offense, three on defense — aimed at the question everybody is asking: is it Keelon Russell, is it the play calling, or is it the offensive line? The answer keeps showing up the same way, on run plays and pass plays alike: linemen running past the man they are supposed to block. Plus the flood concept and why you don't eat the green bean, fourth-and-one big boy football, and what good pass protection actually looks like when the quarterback finally gets time. On defense: the pick six, a simulated pressure with a hug rush, and a fourth down stop.

    FILM: Alabama's Offensive Line Looks Different | Keelon Russell

    Send us Fan Mail Alabama beat East Carolina 48-10, and the box score says the run game is fixed. The tape says something more interesting. Labor Day practice and a late film delivery pushed this one off Monday night, so JT goes solo and goes straight to the tape. The first five snaps of the Alabama offense: a DeBoer and Grubb formation from snap one, a CT counter with the center pulling, a muddy four-eye read, and an empty protection with six coming and only five to block it. Then the part that actually matters — five linemen pointing, talking, IDing the mic, and moving people off the ball. Plus one defensive play by request: the big pass Alabama gave up, and why it's eye discipline rather than a blown assignment. If he's even, he's leaving.

    Alabama 2026 Season Preview | Keelon Russell Takes Over

    Send us Fan Mail Keelon Russell has the job. The offensive line in front of him is the question — and East Carolina's front is the first real test of it. George Teague and JT open season seven with the numbers, then the tape: ECU's 28.5% stuff rate, 31 rushing touchdowns, a plus-10 turnover margin, and a defensive front that changed its look on nearly every snap of its bowl game. Plus what an Alabama line replacing a third of its room has to identify before it can block anybody. George also has news — he's been named a 2026 Bryant Alumni Athlete Award winner, one of two honorees this year, and will be recognized at Bryant-Denny on Saturday.
