Nick Saban explaining why they were almost 50/50 Scout Teams & 1v1 at Tuesday/Wednesday practice during game weeks. "I think fundamentally, good players playing against good players is always going to help them develop."

Nick Saban - Tite Front Defensive Philosophy "I do think Mint (Tite Front) is a better way to play most runs, especially in spread. I think you force the ball to the apex players. I think it's a better way to play split safety coverage because you don't have to worry about gap deficiencies because you're playing inside-out with the nose and 4i's."

Ole Miss DC Pete Golding - Defending Condensed Formations - "I think the big thing from a scouting standpoint going in is what are they trying to do out of it." - "We've gotten to where we tag reduced splits (DOS/Bunch) checks. - Tag allows the defense to play a consistent Cover 2, Cover 6, Cover 7 (3rd Down) principles vs DOS/Bunch without adjusting out the original call. - "Everyone is on the same page, once we're in it, we're in it for the down. And then I think your kids can play the plays better because instead of working every call you've got out of it, you've got some simple things to take away what they do best based on down & distance."

"Complacency creates a blatant disregard for doing what's right." - Nick Saban coachtube.com/course/footbal…
