Not sure if this is a troll or serious but I do somewhat understand what you are getting at. The teams we have been beaten by the past couple of years have all had mobile quarterbacks. Our d-ends can be somewhat slow if the edges aren't contained properly. I would like to see us get more of a variety to combat the different style offenses. We really do need some faster/slimmer but still solid tackling ends. On the flip side....our run d has been the best in the nation for a reason. You can count the number of 100 yard rushers against us since 2008 on 1 hand. That's one of the advantages of having those bigger and somewhat slower ends. It's very hard to cover the field and cover a fast quarterback as well. Not impossible but you MUST have the right personel on the field to do it. I do believe in this class we've addressed some of those issues. We have 3 recent Natties....I'm confident in Sabans ability to handle business and get it corrected.

PS....you do understand that if we get this corrected we're going to be like 56-0 over the next 4 years right? You ready for that?
