Rewatching this game really makes you realize just how good Marcel Dareus was and just how overrated Mark Barron was.
Both highly drafted. But one would go on to multiple Pro Bowls, while the other would have to switch to LB at the next level to stay in the league.
Pretty smart of Gus to attack Bama by getting Barron into man coverage situations and repeatedly exploiting his poor coverage skills.
Barron definitely had trouble in coverage in 2010. I think that he tore a pectoral muscle early in that game also, and played through it. Either way, Barron has been a beast at that hybrid LB position that he moved to with the Rams.

Agreed. LB has been a great position move for him. He gets to do what he does best, lay licks and provide run support. He is very rarely asked to cover WRs, which gets him into trouble.
