Bama’s system of calls was simplified some in the spring, which was needed. The biggest issue, by far, is the play of the defense front. If UGA had guys playing at the exact same level, they’d be having many of the same issues.

I think I said this to you already, but... if there isn't any improvement by the end of the season, it's time to depart from Coach Roach. I hope he gets them coached up, but the play up front has not been where its needed.
I think at the very least he probably shifts spots or moves off the field. Barring something miraculous anyway.

Which begs the question: How are UGA's guys playing at a better level, since, in theory, they are no better?

What’s the quality of the competition that UGA plays? If Alabama played UT Martin, UAB, Ball State, Vandy and even Georgia Tech (that’s almost half of their schedule), I’m sure you’d see better numbers.

I would bet that our schedule the last few years has been a hell of a lot tougher than UGA's.

It's the performance in important games where the differences are most apparent.
Can we at least get Chris Rumph back?
He's the best sheer D-line coaching talent we've had outside of Bo Davis. And we know we ain't touching Bo with a broken goal post.
Was just trying to make connections since Saban is friends with Garrett and has had him as a keynote speaker at several of his coaching clinics over the years.

Would love to get him back, but it's gonna be difficult to snag him away from the NFL. Same with Karl Dunbar. And I know Davis had to leave due to certain circumstances, but thats been a long time since then, don't see why we wouldn't try to get him. Plus, he wasn't punished by the NCAA, and didn't get some penalty if he were to return to Alabama.

Georgia clearly blitzes more than we do, so I wonder if in fact we are in the same system, because they simply aren't just blitzing more and sending the same looks every time.

Davis won't be back. He lied to Saban. I'm sure Saban would forgive and forget for Davis to come back.

Brandon and Terry has mentioned Bo Davis wanted to come back to bama, and has been in touch with Saban....
In some key areas they are better right now, like the DL.

Last year: we blitzed from 100 yards away.
This year; We do blitz, in fact we do plan to blitz more. it was terrible game plan against Texas.

Correct. I haven't heard how his new contract is worded, but he couldn't get out of the one last year too easily. He loved working for Saban and wants (at least recently) to return.
On Dunbar who was asked about earlier, he did a good job, but the college grind combined with his health sent him back to the NFL which is much easier on him.
Aaaaaand the thing he was "dishonest" over was helping a player that was in a bind with a couple hundo.
The whole landscape has changed with NIL now that he's been gone what... 12 years?
There was one blitz that Steele called against MTSU that had me scratching my head. It worked, but my arsehole was puckered so tight you couldn't squeeze a hair thru it.
It was late in the first half, on our side of the 50. IIRC correctly, they were already in moderate FG range. In dime package (2 backers), we blitzed both backers at the snap, leaving the middle of the field WIDE ASS OPEN.
Ballsy-as-fook call, and it worked. But damn, I said "Holy shit, we wouldn't be able to get away with that with about half the SEC QBs on our schedule."
I had to rewind the play and show my fiancé... Lol.

Is that down to recruiting or coaching? I have no idea, but it's an important distinction.
