Then why does our secondary continue to reenact the Great Wide Open going on 5 years now? They give 5 yards of cushion every play to every receiver and they haven't covered a tight end in 8 years once.Quote:

Not true at all. It's a 15 yard cushion.Quote:

One reason that we had a position change besides injury was because of that issueQuote:

Maybe he thinks dealing only with Saban is better than dealing with both Dabo & Jimbo. I dunno ... maybe we offering 2 mill/year.
Why does everything keep saying this? We played up on the line a ton this year. Collins and Diaz mostly played off, Sirmon mixed it up. I'd even argue it's possible that playing up too much was a significant factor in our awful pass coverage. Playing up too often without badass man-cover corners, which we didn't have this year, is a great recipe for routinely getting beat deep.Quote:

Big time cash is about to get dropped for sure.
