Yeah, but you still gave up 200 yards rushing and couldn't stop the run. You can't count on turnovers.


But if they happened, they happened. You can’t act like they didn’t, and you can’t evaluating a defensive which is what I was doing. A defense that gave up 20 points and had one defensive TD have a better performance then an defense that gave up just 20.

I'm a big fan of Pruitt, but the situations just have not been the same.

So did Pruitt not have tough circumstances in 2017 with multiple injuries? By every metric, Pruitt has been better. Smart was too.

You are the one who brought it up.

I’m not the one going around calling people babies for having their opinions and then saying “I’m just saying my part”.

People pretend Pruitt was prefect and have selective memory. If I could pick any DC it would be Pruitt, but people forget the times the defense struggled under him, and he didn't have any where near the same problems Alabama has been dealing with.

No he wasn’t perfect. But...

You have to take into account the circumstances around it.

Yeah context. That’s what I have been talking about the whole time. And that applies to Pruitt’s “bad performances” too. Doesn’t mean he was blameless in these games but there were other notable factors that contributed to the mistakes and issues.

While you can force turnovers and you can increase the odds for them, for the most part you can't count on them. If you just want to look at the results, then Alabama won.

Like when Alabama turned the ball over 5 times to Ole Miss that one year. You can't expect that to always happen, so you focus on the stats otherwise.

Nothing compares to 2019 on the injury scale. Our starting mike was Shane Lee. A true freshman, due to the multiple injures at the same position. This is the guy who calls defenses and is the QB of the defense.

2 years later and the same person is not even on the 2 deep for the position.

At any rate, I am not trying to compare the DCs, I'm trying to point out that even the best ones have bad games.

No, you're going around crying because I called people babies. Get thicker skin and stop worrying about someone on the internet being blunt.

Again, I think you are trying to compare the DCs overall and I am not.
