i realize that, but i was too lazy to include that as i typed my previous post. even still, this illustrates my point that our defensive personel was lighter and quicker than it will be under Saban's 3-4. i just don't understand how placing a total of 5 [big/heavy] players at the line of scrimmage will help us against spread offenses, the best of which will be using smaller and elusive skill personel. i'm sure Saban understands the offensive trends of today, but it just seems to me that a lighter defense with more defensive personel playing off the line of scrimmage is needed against today's prolific offenses. :?
