I feel like our defense really excels when they force a negative play. Bama was running well and once they got behind the chains we would stop them.

This.

My observation is that we get initially pushed off of the line pretty well in the run game. This allows RBs to pick up a solid 6-8 yards. It seems they are having issues getting beyond the LB/secondary layers. But I agree, the D definitely has a pack mentality and feeds off of each other. Very tight bunch. As you said, interesting things start happening once you see a TFL and fins start going up.

I feel we need a "Powe" down in the middle to create a plug...Yes, Rob's a big boy, but you know the big I mean. Bell Big.
