Makes it harder to recruit D-linemen.  And Bama's base D is a 3-4, though it is able to adjust to the O better than other teams.

This is a BS article. We are on TV every week. We are one of the most watched teams in the country. Everyone knows what kind defense we run. The trick is getting one of those 25 scholarships CNS gives out each year.

But they quote Kirby Smart.

Every 3-4 defense looks like a 4-3. Look at the Ravens yesterday. They run a 3-4, but nearly every play they had a 4-man front. This article makes no sense. I knew the AJC were haters, but this is ridiculous.

^^^ Sounds like someone wasn't issued press credentials in Tusc. Bushwacking, like the article a day or so ago that brought up the Quenton Dial thing like it was a last minute CNS decision rather than an SEC call a few days after the Georgia game.

The trick is quite simple.  We show them the rings.  Then we point out that when you go to the NFL, you don't get to pick your team.  You may get on the worst team in the league and never make it to the playoffs.  When you go to college you get to choose which team you want to be on.  Choose wisely.

Works on linebackers, quarterbacks, lineman, etc., pretty much everybody.
