did you really type this as a "weakness" of the Alabama Defense?:

Linebacker’s Coverage Skills

Really? Nico Johnson? Hightower? Suspect coverage skills? Really?????

And did you type this as a "weakness" of the Bama defense?:

Weak On Edges

D. Kirkpatrick? Milliner? Lester? Menzie? Really, dude?

Everything you typed is suspect because of who they were playing, dude. They looked anemic on offense because they were playing the f'n 85 Bears, dude. And I don't know what game you were watching, but there were maybe three plays where LSU got anything, and it was when they went unbalanced and put one more hat on the edge than Bama could account for. Ford's run in the OT comes to mind. Dude, Ware had 29 yards. Two Nine. Let that sink in.

I know one thing that's not "short" about you. And that's your wool. You woolly, brah.

Edit to add: Kirkpatrick has practiced all week. Was in black jersey on Monday, but back at it on Tuesday. He will play. Smelley will play. Barrett Jones is questionable. McCullough will be at LT and Steen will be back at RG after missing UT and LSU. I'm willing to bet they won't use Jones unless they absolutely have to, which is doubtful.

I stand by the linebacker coverage skills comment. Jordan Jefferson was able to do some damage with the speed option. Alabama's defense is awesome don't get it twisted but they do have a few area where they are weak. I wouldn't say they were horrible in those areas but those are the only weaknesses. I talked with a friend who played at State about Bama and he was basically telling me the same things. There linebackers outside of Jerrel Harris are Run Stoppers. They aren't traditional linebackers so its not because they aren't good or anything. They just are 250 plus and aren't built to line up with slot receivers or speedy running backs.

I'll wait .......

Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey are holding on line 3 for the answer.

Harris is the 3rd best coverage LB out of their three who are asked to cover. CJ Mosely, who you conveniently left out is exceptional in coverage.

LSU had 91 yards passing. Chase Clement caught 2 passes for 19. Russell Shepherd caught 2 for 39. Now remind me where LSU had success throwing against Bama's ****** LBs?

Don't put **** out publicly if you don't want it critiqued.

I actually said that it doesn't matter how good their linebackers are in coverage because their corners are exceptional. You managed to leave that out of your critique. Your making it out like I said their D is weak and I never stated that. So, if you are going to critique at least state everything I said not just the stuff that fits your argument.
