George Teague on our Secondary

I was sitting with my wife and she knows the game well. she commented that she noticed that one of the players were confused with a call, I think it was Harris and Jobe? Not sure. It would be easy if we had one simple call for each play.

NOT COOL, Boz. Isn't there supposed to be some sort of warning when you link to a Stephen A. Smith video?

Stephen M. Smith, not Stephen A. Smith.

Well, this is Saban's defense. The problems began with the hurry up offenses. It seems to affect us the most in years where there is a good bit of turnover in the secondary. But, I think some of it is the Jimmys and the Joes. The D line also has a big affect on our pass coverage or the lack of it. No Barmore this year. We have some talent on the edges, but not the middle. Cant push the pocket and make the QB uncomfortable.

He's sounds old....that can't be right.

This is pretty much in line with my thoughts. Pete knows defense. Pete can't teach it for shite. Pete tries to have the perfect defense for every situation. Pete is unrealistic.

I think we'd give up fewer points if we just had a defense for run and a defense for pass. At least the players would know what to do.

This gives a pretty good idea of how complex a Nick Saban defense is. Take the up-tempo offenses of today’s world and this playbook is even more complex:

Simplify the defense and just let our 4 and 5 star kids

Those 4 and 5 star kids come to Bama to learn what they need to know to play in the NFL. If we simply told them to see ball get ball we wouldn't be able to sign all these elite kids.

Meanwhile Frodo may be a whiteboard wizard but he clearly can not relay the info to the players effectively, and even if he could it's not worth having to deal with his inability to develop ILB's.
