re: It’s been a good run

My opinion, which is probably shite, is Saban needs to scrap his defensive philosophy and reform it to what most NFL teams are now doing to stop the long, explosive plays. More zone, everything in front of you, make them drive 10 plus plays every single possession defenses. You can still pressure and blitz, but the safeties and corners can’t get torched all day like has become the norm.

The days of defensive domination are over. The rules have been skewed to favor the offense 100% of the time. He did well in bringing in Kiffin and Sark. He just needs to adapt better of defense.

If the mush rush was the game plan yesterday, it was a shite game plan. Man to man with safeties constantly matched up on 11 was a nightmare and we never adjusted. How does that happen? Golding has to go.

If Saban wants to be kinder and gentler, then hire some pricks to install some discipline and motivate these kids. It has been hard to watch the decline in attitude and soft play. Nobody fears us anymore because we aren’t scary. We are average and weak. To let TN get 4-6 extra yards on effort alone after they should have been wrapped up and dropped for a loss is sickening to watch. They moved the pile on nearly every run. Truly a sad loss.
