And therein lies the problem.

If a younger DB can't learn the defense, its probably too complicated.

Those complicated schemes are always a liability against the quick strike spreads, HUNH, etc.

Time to adjust.

Exactly. When 5-star corners walk onto the field as freshmen and dominate at places like FSU and UF, but they take 2-3 years to learn the defense at Bama, something is wrong. I'm all for a complex NFL defense if we have time to develop young DBs...but when we need them to come in and play we need to adjust things and let their talent take over as we have seen young DBs do many times at other schools. Against the HUNH teams the more complex our scheme is the less effective it is anyway as there isn't time for alot of adjustments, stunts, disguises, etc. Just line our best cover guys on their best WR's and tell them not to let their guy catch the ball if need be.

like who? VHIII? He is an anomaly.

We've had true freshmen dominate at other positions. Some true freshmen are just badass right out of the gates, but most of them aren't, 5 star or not.
