re: I miss the days of Alabama just lining up and dominating the other team

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to figure out. It isn't complicated. Go back and do a position by position comparison of the 2011 and 2014 rosters. Change philosophies? We had guys playing this year that wouldn't have seen the field in 2011. Or 2009. Seriously...Leon Brown and Austin Shepherd vs. Warmack and Fluker? Or the linebacking corps? Or the corners? We didn't dominate teams like we used to because we simply aren't as good as we used to be.
