Why does Saban have so much trouble stopping legit, dynamic DT QBs?

I was watching last night and kept thinking back to JFF and Cordale Jones and was pissed that we still can't stop guys like this. Its not like these guys are supermen. What is funny is that legit fans of the SEC know that Chavis' LSU defense would have wrecked shop on Watson just like they did Manziel. What does Chavis do so differently that snuffs those type of guys out?

It's not just Saban. It always gets me when people say that.
Everyone has trouble stopping legit, dynamic QBs.

Kirby's defense is beautiful against certain teams, and frustrating versus others. Hopefully with Bama's talent Pruitt can evolve it in a way to shut down these teams.

Because dynamic players are good. And considering his record at Bama is something stupid like 100-18 I think his better at stopping the opposing team's quarterback than anyone else.

Because he still refuses to play straight up man coverage. He prefers creating the perfect package to defend with. Ask LSU.
Also, give credit to Deshaun. Our coverage on most of their TDs was as good as could be expected, the passes were just better.

Because it is really hard to stop elite talent that can do the kinds of things these kids can do. Everyone struggles with it. Bama fans just think it strange that it applies to them to.

Well, JFF was a beast in college... He killed everyone...
Cordale Jones didn't have very much game tape to examine his tendencies.
Watson is a beast... I thought Bama did okay... He made some spectacular throws on the run last night. I mean the dude escaped the pocket like 4 or 5 times when I thought it was going to be a sack...

Simple answer, defensive coverages do not count the QB as a threat.
You can "spy" the QB with a player like a LB but then you have to drop a DL to take his spot in the hook or flat zone he was supposed to cover.

Can be a very tall order if the QB gets hot. And sometimes it's on the players to make something happen. You can call a solid game but if the DL isn't getting there or keeps rushing too far up field there's not much the coach can do besides pop a vein on the sideline.

Watson is trouble for any team or defense.

Deshaun Watson is an excellent football player. That's why.

I think it really boils down to his actual nature *edit* mixed with the unpredictable nature of those kinds of plays.
I would wager this man has a 5 point game plan going in to drop a deuce. So, his default understanding of how to put some X's and O's mechanics to what basically amounts to random/chaos being turned into positive yardage by an X factor like a QB being chased is not very good.
Then again... there's not a lot that many coaches have done that have totally put that sort of wild card INTO control, because it really boils down to the QB not making a major mistake. It's virtually impossible to predict and therefore to plan for.
You can tell your guys "hey, play heads up football. be prepared for anything... watch him" all you want.
