Why NS worked really hard in keeping PG?
He's been known as a recruiter since day one in Tuscaloosa (assuming that's what you're referring to here.) Turner, Kool-Aid, Drew Sanders, and Kennedy are just a few of the guys where he's been the primary guy. I'd have to look it up and count but off the top of my head there are 15+, probably more like 20, 4 and 5 star guys on the roster where he was the lead recruiter.
My point exactly
So based on this it is not an accident the PG is the lead on the Manning kid if CNS wants him. Probably a topic for another thread but at Bama we should have a great recruiter and great DC in the same package. We are missing one of those at least at this point.
But assistant s come n go and it doesn't seem to affect recruiting as a whole.
PG is as good of a DC as there is in country. We had a top 5 defense last year and we have a top 5 defense so far this year…..what’s your definition of great? I don’t under some Bama fans’ issue with PG
Nowhere did I say he’s the top DC in the country
If not on par then he’s close. I also realize you don’t and nothing is going to change that because well you just like to complain I’m learning
Sorry just think PG is good DC but not great. Showed tonight also.
The weakness of this defense has always been there. We saw the beginnings of this about a decade ago. Do you remember how often people were upset with guys like Vinnie Sunseri because he was getting beaten?
Maybe it’s time for a defensive revamp like what we got on offense?
Oh it’s been there. Georgia Southern ran through us, around us, and over us and that was probably the best defense talent wise we’ve had in the CNS era
No way to truly say I guess but I actually think the talent on the D line is good but not great, so it is down. Just basing it on results on the field so hard to prove one way or another. Been that way for a few years. I think it aligns a lot when Smart/Pruitt left and when we shifted to the more high power offense as others did. The D tackling and not controlling their gap at the line of scrimmage is the most troubling. Gotta shut down the run period and I guess looking at the stats they did as a whole but there were critical times they did not and it cost Bama. 2nd half was really dominated by Bama except when it mattered at the end.
