As a Crimson Tide fan i Have Not forgot how much fun it was to see him fumble his 1st snap, rally, maintain composure and like the Pink Panther groove to assist and score MANY TOUCHDOWNS !! RTR
Roll Tide World MF'in Wide ! I always said the same thing. Bama would have been a team to most assuredly reckon with. It would have been an undefeated season + Natl title for sure.
Yea this is why I will never believe all the "this defense will be as good as 2016 defense" crap. As long as we have Pete Golding it will never change.
sickest bama defense i have ever seen. insane athleticism, they played hatefully and angry, and they were incredibly smart. they can transition into blockers for a safety with a pick in an instant. this defense was definitely a #rarebreed
This defense reminded me a lot of the 92-93 defense when they won the natty under Gene Stallings. Straight up hateful, inhumanly athletic, smart, you name it. I will say it seemed like they lost a bit of their identity when Eddie Jackson got hurt. Still, in my opinion, one of the best defenses of all time
In my eyes , the defense did their job this year.. offense scored off of QB runs and RB runs.. we weren't deadly with our passing game and definitely overthrew alot of passes during the championship game.
Every player that started on this defense went to the NFL, big names include Eddie Jackson, minkah Fitzpatrick, marlon Humphrey, Jonathan Allen Ruben foster, for the first 4 games the defense had scored more points then the offense which is insane to think about.
Their discipline is so intact that you are even able to see it when they celebrate!!! Calmed chaos!!! Simply RAVENOUS!! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BET ON DEFENSE!!!! Thanks for the hundreds of dollars throughout the seasons BAMA D!!
id like to see or hear all of the BAMA haters talk shit to Alabama players like Reuben Foster Ryan Anderson Tim Williams Minkah Fitzpatrick or Jonathan Allen or Nick Saban seriously don't just say to one of them say it to their faces Roll tide
Great compilation of Defense with Awesome background music. Gracias, King Gosa! This was a great season and I yelled and pulled for them all season that year. My family and I are huge Tide fans. Saban really turned this team around when he arrived and we're all grateful. My daughter-in-law graduated from there. When they lose a game, I do not scream foul but say, the "other team won fair and square." This 2020/21 season, we won fair and square. A couple of close games, but we won at the end. God bless the players, coaches, and everyone during this 2021 season. To ALL, Stay well and healthy!
We have to pick it back up this year. Every recruiting class since saban was hired has won a natty. That team that beat Michigan st in the outback bowl should have won it all as well.
This 2023 bunch may just be mentioned in the same breath with these Cats if they continue to improve each week! Defense Wins Championships....with a little help from their "Friends" The Offense. Let's Go!
On of the best, if not the best defense in cfb history. Without a doubt the best under Saban (including the special teams) of the 16-17. Such a shame this defense had to lose the Natty on a dirty ass pick play in 16-17
King Gosa Scary exciting. No one will ever truly understand how good this defense was... 3 1st round picks, 2 2nd round picks a pick a piece In 3rd and 4th rounds. Just last year on that defense! And 2 more will go in the first round (that played last year), with more following this year. Which puts this defense potentially having 5-6 first rounders in all.... scary!
Come back 2016 defense!!! Eddie Jackson, Johnathan Allen, Reuben Foster etc etc.... It's sad we have to go back 6 years to see what an Alabama defense looks like
This is the 2016 team. Stat wise they were better in 2017 and won the Natty. Both years they lead the nation in allowed PTS/G = 11.8. 2nd in nation total defense. Led by Jeremy Pruitt. Impressive. Pruitt should have stayed put.
Remember when Wash-Huski student/fans started that chant; "We want Bama..?" LOL! Guess they learned what real-top-level-football was when they finally got their wish... LOL
i put this defense over the 2011 because the talent was insane...like 20 NFL starters, 8 first round picks, 7 pro bowlers and 5 AP in current day but they were feared Fitz, MH, Ronnie, Averette, Evans, Ham, Foster, Payne,Dalvin, Allen, Hand, Anderson with Diggs, QWill, RaeDavis, Jennings, Mack on the bench is unfair
Wonder if we will ever see another defense like that one again? That just might have been one of the best defenses in Div-1 play, if not top 2 or 3... Nah, probably the best ever. Sports writer were definately not fair to these fellas.
its honestly sickening to see how utterly dominant that the defense was against clemson through 3 quarters and if the offense is just mediocre then we will be 10+, but Jalen was 100% lost out there for most of the game. Just such a shame, that defense deserves the title!
