I agree and that's the point i have been trying to make for the past couple days. Everyone wants to run Roof out on a rail and wants Chiz to go press coverage and bring blitzes and on and on. Until you can get the basic d lined up correctly, the rest of the defensive playbook is staying in the drawer.

Yeah, Bama got spoiled with Rolando in 08-09. He was a GREAT leader on the Defense. We didnt really have a solid, consistent, leader last year and it showed at times. We still ended up with a great defense, especially considering its shorcomings in terms of experience. But there were some times when you could tell the leadership on the field wasnt what it had been the 2 years before.
I think that problem may be solved this year though. Hightower is healthy and that will go a long way for his confidence which will in turn do a LOT for his leadership.
