Remember Javi blitzing off the corner?

We started blitzing safeties and multiple DBs. Need to just blitz Evans from a rover spot.

A lot of the times when he blitzed it was from Star. IIRC Menzie did some too

I like doing it to teams that do a lot of east-west stuff. Pretty much shuts down a jet sweep or bootleg to that side.

No one is really good at it, Javy had like 5-6 sacks one year. That's talent more so than scheme.
Vinnie blitzed a bit from the slot with OK success. More pressure than play, really liked sending the double DB blitz on the right side(left densive side). Back when they were short on CBs and used more safeties.
Too much trust in the front 7 this season, were never consistent enough. Depending on DePriest to blitz and hit home is an oddity, but you send them if you don't drop them.

We ran a star blitz with Geno against MSU and it resulted in a safety. Seems like I recall brown blitzing the most from the corner spot this year.

Javi was probable Saban's finest coaching job.
One of my all time favorite Bama players.

It's not smart given the current climate of offenses. Since the rule changes in 2008 have led to more and more of the HUNH, you just can't attack a QB with corner blitzes routinely.

It's amazing the impact that Javi and Eryk Anders had on that 2009 D. I remember several big time sacks and plays from each. I think they were both experiments at their positions. I just wonder where those type guys are now. We have a defense full of 5 stars giving up record amounts of yardage and 40+ in huge games.

You don't have time for the defensive side of football anymore because of the shady pussy football, that is what Herbstriet was talking about the other day, the defensive minds have been taken out of the game.
That is your answer.
Base defense.
