Nick Saban believes his Alabama defense is capable of putting pressure on quarterbacks, particularly Michigan’s Denard Robinson.

“We have guys that have ability in pass rushing,” the Crimson Tide's head coach said Monday before naming an outside linebacker in particular. “Adrian Hubbard is a guy that is very difficult to block and can be a really good pass rusher....

Would the REAL Coach Saban say this?   :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil:

He is either becoming complacent (yeah right) or we are going to obliterate some people this year.

I have never heard Coach Saban say anything good about a pass rush. This has to be either an Auburn or Tennessee plant. I never thought these teams would go to such extremes as to do plastic surgery on someone to look like Saban! Diabolical, absolutely diabolical.

I think CNS is getting in the head of Robinson. ;)  :clap:

:lol:

Could be.  Could be.

I remember when the practice video of Julio as a freshman surfaced before the Clemson game.  Then, Bama went out and played smash mouth football, with a rush-heavy offense.  To this day, I still think the video was leaked on purpose.

We are witnessing the mellowing of Coach a little bit over the years.  He often mentions the tornado as being partly associated with an attitude change.

That said, he'll never be mellow about winning and doing what it takes to be successful on and off the field. 

I've never heard him this confident in our pass rush, and I gotta think that practicing against the best OL in the country every day won't hurt them any from here out.

 #+  Well said.
I hope it's "mellowing."  I doubt he'd admit it, though.
