Still more work to do, but as long as I see ongoing improvements where needed, I can be patient.


Agreed; I think that’s all we’ve asked for. The problem was, up until the 3rd and 4th Quarters of the UGA game, we saw zero improvement and some might say we even got worse on defense.

In my very worthless opinion, we should incorporate a lot more zone defense and let the DL just do their thing this year. And then next year we need to pick up a proven DC with great communication skills that can teach these guys how to play man, read pew-snap motion, shift, etc. We also need an ILB coach that can teach these guys how to properly play the position - I wonder what Reuben Foster is up to these days and if he needs a job lol.

Saban prides himself on being a defensive back coach, so I think we have to include him, when we talk about defensive back play. I'm not blaming Saban, but I think it's wrong to criticize everyone but him. I hope our defensive play will get better as the season play out. Hopefully the defensive breakdowns or due to the limited contact and spring practices during the Covid -19 issues.

Zone is the key to this defense. We have to play zone. Make the QB work to find windows while avoiding the sack. I think when we switched to primarily zone we were way better. Interceptions happen in zone more frequently especially with stacked coverage. You saw it first hand.
