Is there a good place we can go to learn more about the technical stuff of this new-to-us defense you are describing?
I kind of like to study things.

There were posters in here who wanted Wommack gone almost immediately. After the FSU debacle, he was a deadman walking. A little performance, and boom he was our golden boy.
If DeBoer's offense pans out the way you are predicting, the boards will be full of bandwagon supporters again.
Tell the truth. Did chicken hire you to make our board seem tolerable again. It had become overrun with what seemed like trolls and "realistic" fans who turned over a doom card every time. :lol:
A couple of things about this place. 1. upvotes and downvotes are anonymous. There are rival fans hanging around to downvote. Sometimes whole strings of of posts will have only 2 downvotes associated with them. If what you say is valuable, then down or upvotes don't really mean anything.
2. The site is full of petty individuals who get into a squabble with someone, or feel slighted by someone, and they will hold a silly grudge for an eternity. They will down vote because of that. Which is another way of saying, there are a number of people on here that you probably don't really want to interact with anyway.
Hang around. We have had some really good posters drop out because of the utter stupidity that often shows up. You will find some ignorant know-it-alls, who's self worth is tied up in "winning" internet arguments and getting the last word on line. Some folks will attack you pretty viciously, because it is an anonymous board and they never matured past 14 years of age. They won't like the attention that you get. Pity them and ingore them.
There are some good folks in here. Ystar gets unjustified hate, but he knows his stuff and can bounce around with you on xs and os. Bear 88 is a wealth of knowledge. Crimson Boz is a good down to earth guy and is a moderator. Summer of George seems to have abandoned us, but he was a statistics savant. There are some others i am forgetting. They can downvote me for it.

You can't sweat downvotes in here. Watch, I will get two just because of my screen name.
As far as bend but don't break, it is just what people kept saying. They looked pretty opposite to my eyes.

He would also constantly harp about the need for explosives on offense. If I recall correctly, he had a definition for explosive plays from the time he got to Alabama in 2007 and had goals for the number of them per game.
I believe 20 yards was an explosive run and 40 for a pass. Maybe it was 15 for a run.
Would you agree with the common assessment that our defense is "bend but don't break"?

I would say it was more of a false equivalence. He didn't engage with your assertion that "true fans" do such and such, but rather overapplied the rules of "No true Scotsman."

My only concern is whether we will be able to stick the ball in the end zone in a compressed field situation, say inside the 5-yard line. Bryce made a living throwing the ball for TDs in goal-line situations, but can you do that forever? Don't you need to be able to pin your ears back and beat the defense for 2.5 yards over a couple of plays?

I think you are 200% better than the usual jackals around here who go off on emotion and ignorance.
The fact is, Saban had missed on a good number of players, especially offensive linemen and running backs late in his career, and the cabinet was empty when it came to QB after having had 3 straight studs. We also struggled to regain footing on defense after the big loss to the draft in 2020. Always had some missing pieces.
DeBoer has been an absolute winner everywhere he has been. He took his second Bama team to the SEC championship game and to the playoffs. And while I am no where close to the Xs and Os guy you are, even I could tell that we were hampered at quarterback, and we really needed more size on defensive line to be elite against the run and the pass.
Keep hanging around. You make the place better.

So, what we see is that Cignetti overcame and beat the wealthiest teams in the country with the worst program in history. Didn't need Ohio State, Texas, and Miami money. Just went out and dominated with a bunch of no-names who had guts and desire.
All I am saying is, I would hate to be in a tough place with about 2/3 of the people on this board. Whether it be a firefight, a business challenge, or a late game drive. Obstacles are to be challenged and overcome.
The tide is going to shift. Innovation will figure out how to beat money. Too much reliance on money makes people and institutions weak.

Help me to sort all this out. Was Cignetti a great coach who found a way to beat the big money rosters with less, or did he just have the most expensive roster out there? I forget.

It really has come down to certain types of organizations, (schools, churches, universities) are going to have to say - "to work for us, you have to sign away some of your rights." Think about the risk these institutions are taking by not creating accountability with/from their employees. I know that techno-savvy people can work around filters and such, but teachers with apps to contact students - pastors and youth pastors with access to porn or "counseling" vulnerable people, it is all too easy to tarnish the reputation of an entire organization with irresponsible behavior. I am not making suggestions - just saying that I am surprised more inappropriate behavior isn't coming to light
Considering that in order to drive many cars today, a person has to sign away the right for the car to collect data, up to and including health matters, very detailed location tracking and even sexual behaviours, this should be a snap.

What in the world happened in that OU game two years ago, when we absolutely got shoved as they ran pretty much exclusively, and we couldn’t stop them for anything?

I am not a football guy. I don’t keep up with the Ins and outs of technical stuff. So, I appreciate your insights.
Even I could see that we were weak up front on defense. Physical teams would run right at us and have their way. I was thrilled to see us get size on the line. That to me is the missing piece.

I’m doing my part to stick it to the Gospel Bird, by only checking the board maybe once a week.
Also, it has become insufferable.

Lambert, an Alabama commit, was chosen in Round 6, Pick No. 165 by the Colorado Rockies.
All eyes will be on Lambert as Alabama fans await his final decision.
Will he sign with the Rockies or honor his commitment to the Crimson Tide?
In my opinion, unless he is academically averse, given his slot, he has to come play college ball. He can go pro, and spend the next ten years making little above minimum wage, living in a crappy apartment with three other players, living off of PB&J and a $25-30 road per diem, while riding a broken down bus, or he can go to college, live in pretty nice digs, have better training, better food, better locker room, better transportation, and much prettier girls, all while looking to improve his draft stock.
Guys at his slot are little more than filler players for the true prospects to work with. He will be forgotten.

There is probably interesting historical analysis on why that generation of respectability happened in the US and also why it ended but that is subject for another board.

This is all true, but I will note that the statistics are very poor for swinging at the first pitch of an at-bat.
That said, when the pitcher has 7 guys standing behind him, your odds are never great.
