Matt Roth

he had his 1st sack and was in on a few plays, didn't hear much from him other than that
 
cool, it was funny cause I was listening on the radio and when it happend the announcer said "That Matt Roth he sure has a --------- Then I said "non stop motor" or something like that right before the announcer could say it. My wife looked at me like I was some kind of psychic or football god. She said "how did you know he would say that?'

I love it when that happens. :)

I was watching the Steeler's broadcast of it, so they didn't ever really say anything about Miami. They never announced who made what play. Of course I knew who they were. :wink:
 
I decided to watch Carey every play on offense and Roth on defense. What shocks me about Roth is how tiny he looks. I don't care about the height/weight technicalities. His frame is very small compared to the guys he is being asked to defeat. I remember he wore #31 in college so obviously he must have started out at LB or DB at Iowa. He just looks much smaller than I projected.

Roth takes a straight ahead charge almost every time. The clever wiggles or variety of rush moves just aren't there. He ends up in a lockarmed stalemate with the offensive lineman one play after another. We'll need to scheme to set him free after the QB with a jump start edge. The effort is tremendous and I'm sure it will increase when the opener arrives. Roth is a gamer especially when you watch the lame turn-your-back-to-the-line-of-scrimmage nonsense from Manny Wright.
 
In all honesty....I've wondered why Saban decided to only play Roth at DE and not try to teach him the OE spot that they are calling what Taylor and Bowens are playing?

Perhaps they are not wanting to throw too much at the rookie or maybe he's not fast enough to drop into coverage? I just don't know but I've been wondering since TC started.
 
He got a sack and a tight pressure in which he almost got a sack. He would be cool playing the OE as he's familiar with LB from college. He's a hungry player.
 
Give the kid some time...

Nick and the rest of the staff will coach him up...that is the advantage of having a great staff. Young players actually get better instead of worse.

So how did Vernon Carey do???
 
he wore # 31 @ Iowa because he was a stellar wrestler. He went 31-0 for his rwestling career (through high school), which is why he picked that number for his football jersey @ Iowa.
 
I have watched all three games and think that this was by far Roth's best game. I Tivo'd the game and would rewind it every time someone would put pressure on the QB or what not. Roth got better penetration than he has and seemed to be in the right place a lot more often. I think it is all starting to click but as mentioned earlier, he needs to vary his technique.
