We’re trying to run an NFL defense with a bunch of teenagers. The reason we kicked most everyone’s arse but struggled against Auburn and Ole Miss 8 years ago is the same reason we struggle against most everyone now. Nobody runs pro-style offenses anymore. And a 19-year-old safety can’t adapt a complex defensive scheme on the fly to a non-traditional offensive look the same way a 28-year-old safety can.

Why keep creating threads about defense?

If the problem were really that simple I'm sure Saban would change up his defense to conform to the times we are living in. Want to know how I know this? He had abandoned his long-standing offensive philosophy completely by the start of the 2016 season and hasn't looked back. The issue is likely a combination of things that, together, aren't as easily solved.
