Saban is gunna have to truely "scheme" for Vick. He is gunna have to put together great gameplan to stop him. He cant go vanilla this weekend. I think this is the first real test for Saban's defense and I am excited to see what Saban is going to do and what looks our D will be giving Sunday...

What do you guys think our D is gunna look like this weekend? (in terms of looks, fronts, and blitz schemes)
 
I actually dont think the "look" of it will change much until the ball is snapped....Then we should see the actual scheme I have no clue what it will look like but im sure it will be "disciplined" :D

Well I dont think its our D's first real test. Remember Denver? How are they doing now? And remember carolina with the likes of friggin steve smith and his rendition of the "greatest show on turf"? Our D has been heavily tested. This is just a different kinda test.

I expect to get really fustrated during the game. I think our defense will hold em for the most part but Vick is gonna wanna make you scream everytime he runs for a first down. Your gonna be like "Qb's aren't supposed to do that!!!" lol but I think we can pull this out if we can get gritty and play hard. I expect som blitzes but not many seeing as though blitzing leaves our secondary to do the job and our secondary isnt that great. Our dline is gonna have to step up big time.

That is kinda where I was going with it. To make a gameplan against a single crazy playmaker... not against an offense. Like against a Moss or LT...

If Sf did a good job on CAddie and Clayton galloway we can do the same to Birds and TB is much better

well A bad team like Sf contained good players on TB, meaning if we contain Vick Dunn Crumpler we can win the game, everyone thinks we will lose but i just brought up the SF game cuz TB were 12 points favs and got it in the teeth:) :D
 
This game could easily go either way. I personally think we wont start showing domination over the Falcons until the first sack. If, of course, there are any sacks. Mentally, the dolphins know that the falcons are a better team. Its going to take a lot to get that notion out of their heads, and if they can take down Vick just once early, that will do amazing things for them.

Personally, I think Saban will exploit Vick's inability to throw. Look for a few key interceptions. Theyre gonna try to keep Vick in the pocket, force him to make a mistake when it matters most. He's the most dangerous when he runs, obviously, and by utilizing Clemon as the Vick impersonater, theyre going to be prepared for that.

We can win this game. I dont think we will, but its definitely possible.
 
You think that we will use more 4-3 or 3-4? I am thinkin more of a 3-4 to help contain...
 
I think a 3-4 Defense would be more effective to get a couple linebackers on each side to contain Vick, but then that will leave you in alot of man-to-man defenses but Atlants doesnn't have any big time receivers to worry about. I think we can take them and hopefully our rushing attack will be successful and keep the defense on the field as least as possible and keep Vick sitting on the bench.
 
I dont care how we win, I just want to be 4-4 playing New England at home.

We are going to focus so much on Vick that Dunn is going to eat our azz up.

That's why I hope Saban has a scheme to stop Dunn first & Vick second. Dare him to throw to the intermediate routes. Only keep one safety deep, and the

other key on Dunn while the front seven run games and confuse. Do not let Vick roll to his left. As far as the corners go, let them play off so they can look at

Vick. That way they can react to quick routes (yes, he has a strong arm but slow throwing motion), and his scrambling.
