very good analysis...a major strength to this defense is the fact that Saban usually walks atleast one OLB up to the LOS (sometimes two) so really, most of the time there will be a 4 or 5 man front, and with LB's being able to roam around much easier than down linemen, it is much easier to confuse an offense by sending blitzes. and this defense also gives you more blitzes that you can use (4 LB's can do more than just 3)...the only concern for me is that of which you mentioned before, that a lot of times teams can run it down your throat with only 3 down linemen...this defense really begins with the NT, if he can't pull his weight it makes it that much tougher on the inside LB's to fight off blocks, and ultimately make tacklesI for one can't wait to see what the defense looks like this year, keep in mind this isn't the first time that we have dealt with a 3 man front, Kines ran a 3-3 a good bit last year
