Title: Alabama 2012 Preview: The Defense (Capstone Report) Post by: pmull on July 24, 2012, 01:54:37 PM This article written by the Capstone report is about 10 days old but I have not seen it posted. It is a good read on what to expect from the 2012 Tide defense.
Quote Anticipating a drop off from 2012′s defense is an easy conclusion, but fantasizing too great a gap may just be wishful thinking. At Alabama, losing starters means something entirely different from other schools. Relentless recruiting has planted the Tide in the top five recruiting classes the last five years, so it isn’t a coincidence that Bama’s defense is an immovable force…in any year. Alabama head coach Nick Saban is at the top of his game, recruiting and scheming better than anybody in the country. His 2012 unit will be inexperienced at some spots, but potent, requiring the kind of complexity and mental toughness that drives lesser, weaker minded players to enroll elsewhere. In terms of comparison, this unit may not reach the heights of 2011′s edition, but should be every bit as good as 2008-2009′s defenses. http://capstonereport.com/2012/07/14/alabama-2012-preview-the-defense/16759/ (http://capstonereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/RL37b.jpg) Title: Re: Alabama 2012 Preview: The Defense (Capstone Report) Post by: ricky023 on July 24, 2012, 07:11:01 PM I see where we have a learning curve to attend to, but after the first games up to and after Arkansas I can see us being a dominant Defense again. Thanks, pmull. RTR!
