Just read that Cook hasn’t practiced all week. Wore a walking boot during the walkthrough yesterday. Is going to try and play. If he stays in the game he’ll be a statue in the pocket.

Saban said something interesting today at the end of a film breakdown. Paraphrasing, he said that it is better to put a complicated defense on the field that is ready for anything than a simple defense that can be more easily placed at disadvantages by different offenses.

It felt like he was talking to Wommack.

I feel like the more complicated defense has more tools in the tool box to use in different situations.

The disadvantage is that it's just so hard and takes so much time to teach. It's the reason so few freshmen were up to playing in Saban's secondary. We're so thin and green in the secondary, I think that Wommack was virtually forced into a simplified secondary defense. I wouldn't be surprised to see a more complex defense next season, provided we don't have another mass exodus...

You are absolutely correct. Nowadays you have to run something for the young ones to pick up quickly.

I understand Alabama's situation, but disagree with the notion that you have to go simple.

I would rather have occasional struggles with player turnover any day.
