The Process by the Numbers: Part II - Air Raid
In yesterday's installment of our look at the Alabama defensive strategy by the numbers we noted that opposing teams have tended to throw the ball more against the Crimson Tide and how Coach Saban's defense used that to impact opponents' offensive productivity. But do the numbers tell us anything...
The Process by the Numbers: Part III - Running Man
Over the past two days we've looked at how Coach Saban's defense is aimed at getting opposing offenses off the field (Part I is here and Part II is here). What the numbers seem to be showing us is that Alabama's defense begins by shutting down the running game and subsequently creates ideal...
The Process by the Numbers: Part I - Down By Law
Two years ago, Chris Brown of Smart Football penned a superb piece examining Coach Saban's approach to defensive secondary (which he reposted in the 2009 off season as well). It was prefaced with an excerpt from The 2001 LSU Defensive Playbook that summed up the core of the man's approach to...

In writing the 3-4 defense primer for this year's edition for Yea Alabama, I was forced to cut a lot of the "history" aspects due to space limitations (and the fact that OTS's O-Line article went twice as long as oringally planned, with sexy awesome results), but a lot of it was fairly interesting...
Your RBR Word of the Day: orotund
orotund \OR-uh-tuhnd\, adjective: 1. Characterized by fullness, clarity, strength, and smoothness of sound. 2. Pompous; bombastic. Jay Coulter's orotund condemnation of Alabama's contract negotiations with Nick Saban during these troubling economic times conveniently disregards simple facts like...

gravid \GRAV-id\, adjective: Being with child; heavy with young or eggs; pregnant. After a 34-10 whipping at the hands of the Crimson Tide, doomed Clemson coach Tommy Bowden could merely sit back and appreciate one of nature's greatest wonders; Nick Saban, gravid with victory.
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! NICK SABAN VS BILL CURRY!!1111
