Some changes need to be made on defense

I don't know how, but Coach Saban needs to do something about that side of the ball. The 2013 and 2014 defensive units fell far below expectations. It's too early to call it a trend, but changes must be made to correct the path our defense seems to be going on.
I think we need to look to Oregon and how they run their defense. They aren't huge, but they are big and fast enough to slow down the fast paced offenses of the PAC 12. The days of big fat linemen in the middle of the defense are over. It's time to revert back to lean and agile.

They say every year they are recruiting differently. What does it matter when you still run the same scheme that everyone you play knows backwards and forward. It works against lesser talented teams great. Equally talented teams expose it.

Honestly, the right side of the field absolutely killed us this year. And in 2013 it was the side of the field opposite of Belue(and he wasnt that great either). Besides that, our D was really good in '13 and '14. We have to remember that these guys are relatively young which lead to growing pains.

Everybody just knows exactly what we are going to do on defense, especially if they get a while to prepare. They have 8 seasons of film on it. Probably need some new blood

Their defense works well for their league. Alabama would be better off examining how Derek Mason ran Stanford's defenses in 2012 and 2013. Stanford is Alabama-lite right? Yet they had better results versus the better offenses in 2012 and 2013.

No more giving up 35+ points, anyway we can make that happen

You got to have lean and agile guys as well as monsters in the middle. Going all in one way or the other is not what you want
