Interesting stuff. Good range of subjects ranging from current team to past players like T.J. Yeldon
Film study: Alabama's DBs starting to look like NFL prospects again
As it pertains to technique, I’ve heard players say, specifically Kirkpatrick, that Saban doesn’t have them backpedal. "I never backpedaled," he said in discussing his struggles his rookie season with Cincinnati Bengals (h/t to Bengals.com). "We were always press man, Cover 2. It was never just sit there and reading the receiver on his route. It was something new."
Here's a pretty cool read from SDS. For as much as we've always heard about Nick Saban's prowess with defensive backs, this kind of makes me wonder about his methods. According to Dre, not only did they never use backpedaling in Saban's defense, but they were also specifically taught to try and obscure vision as opposed to trying to turn and make a play on the ball. However, that seems to be changing under the guidance of new defensive backs coach, Mel Tucker. The nation is starting to take notice of the play of Cyrus Jones, Marlon Humphrey, and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
