In general I think Smart's belief is that having a LB rather than a DE lets the defense be more flexible and unpredictable, even if he does rush the passer the majority of the time.
In general, I think Smart and Saban are right to prefer the 3-3-5 with a hybrid LB/DE type HOWEVER if your hybrid type is really more DE than LB like Turner or Braswell then you may get better mileage just putting their hand in the dirt and lean on your backend to cover the gaps in coverage.

By all indications it will be what Wommack ran at his DC and HC stops preceding his move to Alabama. 4-2-5 with essentially 3 safeties: one a middle of the field safety, one a safety/corner hybrid, one a safety/linebacker hybrid.
This is an important area where those saying “nickel” are wrong. A nickel back is generally a third corner / coverage guy.
Wommack’s defense, at least at South Alabama, was definitely a three safety look. Yam Banks, who transferred to Ole Miss this offseason, played the “husky position” which was essentially an in the box safety at 6-1 208. Jalen Jordan, who ironically had transferred from Ole Miss two years before, played the rover position at 5’9 and 190 or so.

It's called nickel. It's everyone's base defense now

Good job brother. Keep up the good fight, take it one day at a time and before you know it you’ll be 2 days without staring a topic…then 3 then hopefully a whole year. At that point we will give you a 1 year chip and continue to support your road to recovery.

Lmaooooo
I believe you, internet user Haytigers. If there’s anyone who knows what it’s like to be perennially middle of the pack in their own division and lose 3+ games per year, it’s LSU fans.
Maybe we should listen.

Alabama has been playing a 4-2-5 for years now.

What defense is Baker going to run? He is sticking with the 4-2-2 LSU used last year?
