Keep getting circles run around them with ease by guys like manziel Marshall knight? If bama played fast D ends like lsu they would be downright scary vs every offense, as opposed to vs most offenses

The current master plan is to run a 4-4 with everyone over 275 lbs.

You're questioning a defense that's leads the SEC in D every year and usually the nation when your genius coaching staff decided to play 3 linemen and give up 60?

Yes, we must stop now. It is not working for us and LSU is having much more success. The answer is obvious.

Love SEC fans. So cute.

Aren't their D ends 290ish, which is perfect for a 3-4?

Their linebackers are fat and slow. Why would the d-line be any different?

Im always amazed by how many football fans are completely clueless when it comes to the 3-4 vs the 4-3.

I blame the Madden generation. People have this idea that positions, such as end, are the same in every scheme and can be swapped in and out without consequence.

12–2
14–0
10–3
12–1
13–1
11–2

72-9

over the past 6 seasons.

You're right, we totally need to blow everything up and completely start over.

How many posts should a person have to have before they can start a thread? 1000?

Not sure if this is a troll or serious but I do somewhat understand what you are getting at. The teams we have been beaten by the past couple of years have all had mobile quarterbacks. Our d-ends can be somewhat slow if the edges aren't contained properly. I would like to see us get more of a variety to combat the different style offenses. We really do need some faster/slimmer but still solid tackling ends. On the flip side....our run d has been the best in the nation for a reason. You can count the number of 100 yard rushers against us since 2008 on 1 hand. That's one of the advantages of having those bigger and somewhat slower ends. It's very hard to cover the field and cover a fast quarterback as well. Not impossible but you MUST have the right personel on the field to do it. I do believe in this class we've addressed some of those issues. We have 3 recent Natties....I'm confident in Sabans ability to handle business and get it corrected.

PS....you do understand that if we get this corrected we're going to be like 56-0 over the next 4 years right? You ready for that?
