your understanding of this issue is too simplistic. these coaches aren't advocating changing defensive personel to exclusively defend against the spread and no-huddle. instead, they are advocating changing defensive personel in order to better defend against the spread and no-huddle WHEN THEY HAPPEN TO FACE IT. and the fact is with more and more teams leaving the conventional approach to offense, the odds of any one team facing another team that incorporates the spread and/or no-huddle in ever increasing. think about what you're saying ... you claiming that these very bright and successful coaches are abandoning their ability to stop physical offenses altogether by downsizing. it just isn't so. the issue isn't which offense do we commit ourselves to stopping? instead it is how can we modify our personel in order to be more flexible to stop any offense we face.




you are making the same mistake as BamaCore. you need to compare the numbers i advocate with the numbers of the aforementioned SEC teams. i advocate the sizes of most SEC defensive fronts. rather it is Saban who is going against the grain here.
