Yep, that's him. He was incredible. And between Brown, Hump, Fitz and Sheffield that's FOUR 5-star corners we have signed in two years. You can't tell me that not one of those guys is ready to come in and play grown man ball if the system is simple enough. I just don't buy that. In Saban's 8 seasons we have really only had one freshman DB come in and start early, and he was beaten like a red headed step child that year mostly because he didn't know what he was supposed to be doing (Dee Milliner.) Our scheme on the back end needs to be simplified, plain and simple...and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Well, tbh, we really hadn't needed to start a true frosh at corner besides 2010 and last year.
Milliner didn't do that bad. He was usually in position, but his technique was just slightly off when making plays on the ball.
I see what you are saying, and perhaps we could dumb it down, but we are usually tops in the nation in pass D. Last year was more of an anomaly than anything. I just would be weary of trying to fix something that isn't truly broken.
