Title: "Role Tide: Multiplicity is the strength of a strong defensive line" Post by: Chechem on September 12, 2012, 05:16:54 AM http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2012/09/role_tide_multiplicity_is_the.html
Quote Where other teams seem to have constants on their defensive lines, Alabama has variables. And those variables seem to have variables. First-and-10? There’s a trio for that. But not just one. Second-and-12? There is specialty personnel for that, too. Third-and-1? Yet more groupings. The key to unlocking a Nick Saban defense starts up front with the big guys, but no key works. This is a combination lock that could confound Arkansas (1-1) when it plays host to the Crimson Tide (2-0) at 2:30 p.m. CDT Saturday.... Good discussion of the complexity of our D-line rotation, our depth there, and who are the key players. So, what happens against an up-tempo offense?
