The DE are not trying to rush but contain most of the time in a 3-4 it is the Jack/ LB that puts his hand down that rushes most of the time. The DE like Stinson and Pagan could really get after the QB in a dif scheme or when told to pin their ears back and go but that is not what Bama tries to do most of the time. We put pressure on the QB by closing the pocket on him with the D line guys and affect the QB while the extra blitzer goes for QB.

As B1GTide says above, it seems A'Shawn Robinson could be that guy...

It was something. He's slipperier than liquid, slick as oil...I bet JF sprayed Pam on his jersey.
But he lost!

They have been pretty effective. Also this is the second year in a row we are missing Tomlinson with an injury.
Do your job!

I like what Vinne has been doing from the outside. He is so good on the blitz.

I agree with this. It seems like he's in the back field every play. But being a big man he's not always quick enough for the sack. I'm really hoping Jonathan Allen will be our "Clowney" type player in the future.
If you want DE's to do their thing on the outside, best to run the 4-3. Responsibilities and size are asking our DE in the 3-4 to look and play a lot like tackles. Now if anyone wants to talk about our hybrid outside LB's coming from the outside, Hightower and Upshaw seemed to have been a little more explosive than this group. But, in this day of loosey goosey, spread running QBs, I'm not sure how hard or often Saban really wants to bring the heat. The way our defense is producing and shutting down offenses, I really like our schemes.
Yes. Two true freshmen, Johnathan Allen and Tim Williams, will truly be a good rushing "DE" edge rusher. Adrian, Denzell and Xavier give us a pretty good edge pash rush now, but like some have said you have to be very disciplined in our defensive scheme so you can't always just go for it when you rush.
The thing is with players like clowney, yea they get more sacks but give up a lot of running plays to their side because they are out of position a lot because of going for the sack. It would be nice to have a pass rusher, but we probably won't have one in our base defense because of the running assignments the DEs have to play. We should be able to bring in somebody on obvious passing downs to get more of a rush though.
i also think we need to do a better job at getting pressure on passing downs. our blitzes arent getting there as fast as previous years either. We dont have what i would call a "great" blitzer
