re: If Coach Saban coaches the DBs, why are they our biggest weakness?

Why did we struggle so much if this is Saban's specialty? Before anyone brings up starting first year players, I watched both Florida and LSU have success starting freshman corners.

So what is the deal?

The deal is that Bama has lost 3 DB's in the 1st round of the draft the past 2 years. You just dont replace 1st rounders like that....plus the defense has missed Sunseri more than I thought they would. We had 2 true freshman for goodness sake out there vs a hot QB. Everyone cannot be a Hargreaves.


Im positive the secondary will be better next yr. 2 experienced safeties in Sunseri and Collins back, plus all spring ball for the young CB's(Jackson,Smith,Sylve,Jones) to get coached up.
