Im with you 100%. I believe the "new" alabama is going to be something weve never see. Offense is going to be next level & the defense is going to be alot faster. RTR
🗣️SAY ITNLOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK🗣️ Why we didn’t can Golding when we saw that he let Bryce and the offense down the first year he was DC I will never know.
It's crazy when you think of squandering the years with Bryce Young and Will Anderson on the same team... throw in Williams, Metchie, Robinson, Turner, and on and on! Saban held on to Wiggins too long as well!
@@newlifedisasterrelief-kenw5016 these are the thoughts that keep me up at night. Like how did we not win a natty for Bryce while he was a starter. Our abismal defense and a few ACLS popped at the wrong time and we were still hanging with almighty Georgia until the 4th quarter when lack of experience stopped it all.
MOST people have exactly ZERO clue about how much different this TIDE defense is going to be philosophically,sheme,concepts,alignment-wise,and assignment wise. On ALL 3 levels. People do NOT have a clue. But I do.ILB will be similar against the run and run fits. But that is all. *THE TIDE will no longer be a predominantly 2-Gap defense up-front. This will allow guys to be aggressive,use techniques,and go eat. *The ILBs will be required to be in their correct fits and attack the LOS....And Blitz..And Cover *The Bandit(WSDE) will be a bigger edge and be required to play anywhere from a 4i to a 6 Technique(Still can play Rabbits with a slightly smaller guy like Keon Keeley) *The Wolf will be a Pass rusher,an Edge setter, be able to play Man on RBs and TE's,and a Flat defender in Zone...And a blitzer *In the Backend THE TIDE will Morph into a dominant layered Zone team(And it is about time)....Will be able to play 3-Deep Zone(Cover 3). 1-High safety Man under(Cover 1). Cover 0.(Man everywhere). 2-HIGH Safety looks with Cover-2 Zone. Cover 5(2-High Safety Man Under). And even quarters. *Instead of a pre-determined Left Corner and designated Right Corner against everything and everybody.? We will now utilize a Field Corner and a Boundary Corner. *And here are some of the MAJOR differences additionally. Under Saban we were a Pattern Matching,Matchup,trading,Passing off Guys in what could be call a Matchup Zone,with outside CB's playing man,and 2-High Safeties playing Matchup.And it cost us 3 ballgames the last 2 years. 2 UT's and a Michigan. What did these teams have in common.??? Tremendous,innovative play designers who constantly"stuck" us in bad matchups time and time again or got us overloaded in an area.,or took advantage of shit communication..NO LONGER.... *Under Saban the Free Safety and the Strong Safety were interchangeable. Same position. Same responsibilities. No LONGER. *In the Swarm the Nickel(Husky) and the SS(Rover) are now the same player and position.They become the 2 MOST important and versatile positions on this defense. They are NOW Slot Defenders(SS can still drop and be a 1/2 field Safety)....Responsibilities: 1)Must be able to set a strong edge against the run and be physical tacklers... 2)Must be aggressive and creative Blitzers from ANY Gap... 3)Must be effective Flat Defenders in Zone... 4)Must be able to play man on RBs at them and across the formation 5)Must be able to take on and lock up bigger In-Line TE's.... 6)Must be able to cover Flexed TE's like a Bowers..Or a hybrid like a Kyle Pitts or Caleb Odom 7)Must be able to line up on inverted Number 1 WRs,get big pieces, and carry them down the field in Man Not all but hope this helps. Try NOT to worry about the inexperience and concentrate on the talent of our Corners. They are NOT going to be stuck on Islands ALL the time ala Kool-Aid+Arnold
It won’t take much to be better than lashes. Remember, don’t get number two. No penalties; face mask offsides to name a few Number three don’t blow assignments corners, linebackers. As bad as we were last year we gave away the game against eventual champion. Between center play and the last two possessions on D….we were that close. I believe we’re halfway. There’s no way we could have center play like that ever in the game again.
@@planoman0935maybe a liiiiitle 😂 shutouts these days are tough. All these high powered offenses. But we def have one now. And I do think this defense is more advanced against these offenses. But people are going to score some. Shutout days are done. But we can still win every game. This year included. lol forward to seeing what we can do. RTR
Longtime Bama fan. I still can’t get over how they had Michigan beat and only had to stop them with 2 minutes left. They allowed Michigan to tie the game then lost in overtime. The defense was horrible in last several years and saban and golding were responsible. They had a natty in the bag and gave it away. EDIT: I have a daughter starting at Texas this year and a son at Texas A&M. I am already tired of the smack Texas is talking with 3 10 win seasons in the last 20. Give me a break! RTR!
It may not be Saban's 2011 Defense, or 1992's. But that does not mean it will fall off a cliff. Are these questions serious? The Offense fell from 11th to 58th under Rees. That's what needs to get back on track.
it's simple so not as much pregnant chatter to confuse a d. Just zone reads that help keep it all in front of the d. Allows for some great blitz packages.
The defense is going to take a step back. Hopefully can be good enough and cause enough turnovers to keep the offense ahead. Our strength is going to be inside with the d line and linebackers vs outside with the edge and corners. Kool-aid and Terrion were terrific with a lot of experience. Same with Dallas and Bras.
it's just as possible this new defense will be equal or better. no one knows. it should be harder to create match ups with this scheme, which is the only way teams were able to have success vs saban recently. if they can stop the run like I think they should, this will be a very successful defense and will allow these DBs to eat
@@HotLikePu94 hope so. If we are very dominant in the middle/stop the run, that will definitely help. Keon Sabb and Malachi should be good at safety too. We know Malachi can make plays if he can play freely
@@calnoble4651there’s a long comment in here that begins to explain the interworkings of this defense. And by concept. With high quality players. No reason we shouldn’t be a top 10-15 defense this year. I think we are going to be fired up. Play with excitement and aggressiveness on defense which we haven’t seen much of in a while. If the backend can create turnovers like womacks past defenses. Getting the ball back to this offense is going to be key and deadly
@@danielreach2826 Hope so. Feel like last year was the best defense we have had in years. And agree that turnovers could be big this year. Even if the overall numbers aren’t as dominant, getting the ball back to the offense will help exponentially if everything comes together
Pate, a lot of young talent on defense. But there’s one name you’re pretending not to know and that’s DLawson. Kid is the general behind that defense and led what most believe was the best defense in the nation last year. He’s a Butkus award semi finalist in ‘23 and I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes it home this year.
Bama fans should be very concerned with these Indiana retread coordinators, especially on D. Kalen (also a former IU coach), has proven himself overall and as an offensive genius. If Sheridan sucks (which could happen), Kalen will fill in the gap. D, not so much.
Bingo. Saban was a defensive mastermind so if the offense went to crap, he play murder ball and let the defense smother you. This Bama team feels like they need to score alot of points because defense might be lacking
Haven't had Allen, Tomlinson, Payne, Q Williams in long time but I think Otis, Russaw, Tim Smith, Keenan, Payne Jr, Overton, they may not be as good I think a couple of them will breakout
Womack will install a simpler more player friendly defense. Playmakers will have more freedom to make plays. That means big hits, big plays and people flying all over the place. The con is it’s not a disciplined defense like it was under Saban. There’s going to be a lot more big plays ran on Bama this year. Saban’s defense just smothered you with technique and discipline. Meaning not an inch given but big plays weren’t happening like they will now. Womacks’s defense can change momentum quick and combined with an explosive offense can be game breaking. Saban’s defense combined with a grinding offense will beat you into submission. I like Saban’s style more but Womack/ DeBoer’s style does have it’s benefits.
This staff is miles better than what saban had at bama since 2020....this team may win the national championship if we are being honest. Why count them out? They lost niblack who didnt do much on offense same with bond i like isaiah but if im being honest he was no john metchie or devonta smith he definitely wasnt a jameson williams on defense you lost 2 top corners to the draft and the rest that left weren't too great a lot of those guys are still backups on the team they transferred to. Deboer had lesser talent but he had a better staff thats why Washington made it to championship. Their is a formula to how to get to the natty and i believe KD figured it out when he was in Sioux falls hes just been bringing that same formal to more talented teams. There is a reason he doesnt have a losing season.
Bama is probably the most well rounded team this upcoming year. There’s no superstar, but no gaping hole like OSU offensive line, Oregon D line, Texas secondary, etc. With no truly elite offenses this year I can see Bama hanging with everyone
If not for a high scoring offense Bama would have been in trouble the last few years. Bama defense lost that Michigan game. They are no longer dominant up front at all
I couldn't stand O'Brien. When A&M upset us in '21 he threw twice on 3rd/4th down on the 1 yd line...last pass was picked. We lost by 3. Golding was a bend/don't break coach. Line was awful in '21, couldn't run the ball. Saban's decline those last three years had a lot to do with poor staff additions.
For me I believe Bama got better at every position this year besides the entirety of the dline. Edge and interior guys are a HUGE question mark. Our secondary will take a hit losing terrion and koolaid but we are replacing them with insane talent. Going to be an interesting year for sure. Roll tide brother
no way did the DBs improve. lost Kool-Aid, Terrion, and Downs. Even the best freshman CBs in the country won't be better than that. But they will be in a year or two.
@@PirateOfPlayTime... Downs was solid against the run, but couldn't cover the slot... McKinstry played like he was trying to protect his value (regressed, hence drafted round 2)... Arnold was solid, greatly improved his stock! It's scary to think of giving up more big plays (Hyatt 5tds, 207 yds, long 78) (Ewers 350yds, 3 tds) (Nabers 10 rec 171 yds) (LSU 478yds) (Texas 2022 292 passing yds) (A&M 2022 253 passing yds) (TN 2022 385 passing, 567 total) (Ole Miss 2022 403 total yds) (Auburn 2022 395 yds) I won't go back any further, but Alabama's defense hasn't been solid since pre-Golding!
Alabama's defense with be greatly improved because Saban won't be running it. Gone is the overly complex NFL style defensive scheme that Saban ran the last 10 years. Gone is the playing of inferior upperclassmen who know the scheme instead of more talented players sitting on the bench who "might" make a mistake. Gone is Saban being happy that the other team's offense took 8 minutes off the clock while scoring a TD. Gone is Saban giving 95% of playing time to starters and 75% of practice time. That is what caused so many 4 and 5 stars players to transfer away. Depth on both offense and defense has been a problem for the last five years. Now for all you GOAT herders that think the co-coordinators have been the problem, how do you answer the fact that Saban himself said multiple times "I wear a headset during the game and I hear the play calls. If I don't like them then I change them." Only a fool thinks that Saban wasn't in complete control of the program. He is a control freak. By the way, go watch the 2020 Auburn game again. Golding called a near perfect game without Saban being there to overrule him.
Same, but I’m also feeling like what Kirby and Georgia are doing to make players sign for a discount is violating AntiTrust laws, and forwarding my concerns to the AG of Alabama. I’m struggling to understand why positions other than quarterback are required to take the discount but they go out and pay top dollar for a QB backup? When a player gets hurt and they took the Kirby Discount that seems to be an issue, the kid gets misled into thinking a payout is coming for taking said discount but in truth by taking the discount they are losing money and signing below market rate so that Kirby can then turn and say only I can get you to the NFL reeks of market manipulation. NFL players wouldn’t entertain this system and there’s zero transparency.. maybe it’s legal but it’s certainly unethical
Why would it be good? There's not one coach with real experience on the team that can even begin to compete in the improved sec that was difficult to begin with. 6-6 with a trip to the Birmingham Bowl to play Jax St. or someone similar.
I haven't been this excited about Alabama football in a long time. I've always been excited, but there is so much new to see. College football rules.
Im with you 100%. I believe the "new" alabama is going to be something weve never see. Offense is going to be next level & the defense is going to be alot faster. RTR

Bama is way better than Josh is giving credit for. This is just more fuel for the Tide to Roll.
Can’t be any worse. Bad safety play, especially #2.
Bama is probably the most well rounded team this upcoming year. There’s no superstar, but no gaping hole like OSU offensive line, Oregon D line, Texas secondary, etc. With no truly elite offenses this year I can see Bama hanging with everyone

Jawja and Tennessee, lol. What’s their combined record against Bama the last 20 years? I know. You’re a moron. Bama is quaking in their cleats. 😂😂😂😂
Bama going fast on offense gave other teams more posseions as well, blind squirrl scenario.
Bama lost a lot of defensive players to the portal last year. Many of them went to FSU.
When you can score 50 each game beat us if you can !!!!

Why would it be good? There's not one coach with real experience on the team that can even begin to compete in the improved sec that was difficult to begin with. 6-6 with a trip to the Birmingham Bowl to play Jax St. or someone similar.
That D is going to be worse since i always felt like saban always had a hand in it. Kinda like kirby.
What a surprise… another SEC video. Boring
We will suffer this yr on defense. The secondary will be good by yrs end but gonna take awhile for them to gel.
