Bama has really only used a true 3-4 a few times the last few years. This year we used 4 linemen a lot when we played nickel, which is most of the time thanks to the spread offenses.


Think that got something to do with switching up y'all recruiting and going after lighter DE's? 2 or 3 years ago Deshawn Hand would have been a linebacker in Bama's system.

Yep. Saban is having to recruit smaller and faster athletes. Hand would be a LB two years ago. The spread and hunh are changing the way defenses recruit. The big negative here is that when you play arky or LSU the smaller players will struggle to stop the run. But what can you do?
