"Role Tide: Multiplicity is the strength of a strong defensive line"

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?
