In Saban's 8 seasons we have really only had one freshman DB come in and start early,
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.

Actually our pass defense has been garbage the past two seasons. If it stinks this year that would make it 3 in a row...so yeah I think something is off and needs to be tweaked if not fixed completely. And I think Saban agrees which is why he hired an NFL secondary coach in the offseason. We will see how it goes, but simplifying things will go a long way with just allowing your best talent on the field much like the other programs previously mentioned. Pruitt did the same thing at UGA last year...started a bunch of young guys, made it simple and their pass defense was night and day better his first year there. It can be done...hope we do it.
