The faces may change on Alabama’s vaunted defense, but the standards don’t.

“If you’re going to play in this defense, you better be ready to live up to that standard every day,” Alabama senior linebacker Nico Johnson said. “Nobody wants to be the weak link and disrespect all those teams that came before us here.”

Quote
“We know what we’ve got to do and are really confident in our game plan,” Johnson said. “This is an opportunity to go out and show what this defense can do.

“We’re ready to create our own identity.”

This year's D will be better out of the gate than 2010. I agree with NJ, they will play with a chip on their shoulder. The difference is we have so much depth and there is serious competition for playing time.

Good interview with Dee M. I remember him playing a great deal as a freshman and getting lit up a few times. It happened much less last year and he really got his legs under him a couple games in. I think he will be the leader, statistically and vocally, of the secondary this year.
