Alabama Defensive Highlights 2023 (Special Teams Included)

[@editnosmirc4489]

Pete Goldding leaving was one of the best things that's happened for Bama this last year

[@bamaengineer]

Yeah we pranked Ole Miss good on that one

[@nullockalwin2954]

Couldn't agree more!

[@kennethdeanmiller7324]

Imho Bill O'Brian leaving and Tommy Reese being the OC instead has made a huge difference in the offense. And let's face it, if your offense keeps going 3 & out then the defense is on the field TOO MUCH & the longer the defense has to play then more of a chance for someone to make a mistake. All it takes is one or two mistakes to turn a win into a loss. And on one hand you can blame the defense or you can say the offense didn't score enough. But a team is a team at the end of a game. The offense has to have drives & control the ball & score points. While the defense has to get as many stops as possible. So the offense doesn't have so many points to win.😊

Facts 🔥

[@angrytrucker420]

Yeah. I swear he had some incriminating photos or some of Saban and that damn aflac duck. I can't think of any other reason he held the job as long as he did.

[@cameronlewis6870]

I know all year Terrion Arnold was a great corner but, after watching this, he’s arguably one of the best Bama defenders of all time. Just a special dude on AND off the field.

[@ive_beenthere_2638]

Him and Downs. You'd be hard pressed to keep them off the field. Hoping they both make some plays against Michigan.

[@mynamedoesntmatter8652]

@cameronlewis6870 He sure is. The dude is a beast with fire in the belly. What you say about Terrion Arnold is spot on truth. He is an all around great guy, and a fired up beast on the field. His name will be one that echoes in the annals of Bama’s football history. We’ve got the best corners in CFB, even if I do say that wearing my Crimson glasses. RTR

[@mynamedoesntmatter8652]

@@ive_beenthere_2638 Caleb Downs is another beast with fire in the belly. One of the best freshmen I’ve had the pleasure to see hit the field. Really impressive ball skills.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Kool-Aid is so lock down that hardly anyone threw to his side all year. (I think he’s only given up 180 1 TD the entire season) Meaning Arnold has had to up his game that much more and boy has he. I’ve seen mock drafts now have him as a 1st round talent as well as Kool-Aid. Having to defend the amount of passes thrown Arnold’s way and he has shut it down has been something special to watch. I believe he ranks in the top 5 in the NCAA for passes defended/pass break ups. He leads the team on INTs too. Super proud. Love this team/roster.

[@user-py8hp3pz1j]

[@jasonzielinski9283]

The emergence of Arnold, Eboigbe, Lawson, and Downs cannot be stressed enough. They've really come along wonderfully

[@livetohelpothers8401]

This defense is ELITE.

[@jon5853]

Alabama an Georgia are good places to invest in the draft on defense.

[@izallgood37]

The defense needs some love to! I hope you guys enjoy the video! Happy Holidays everyone.

[@a.j.wullschleger644]

You're awesome bro thanks for all the work you put in for all the great bama vids this season, happy holidays to you and RTR I have a feeling it'll be texas vs bama for the natty

@a.j.wullschleger644 I appreciate your comment AJ! I will be going out of town soon so I been trying to post much as possible... I'm just thankful to be able to continue to post videos for this Alabama team! I hope we beat michigan and then play Texas to!

@izallgood37 no problem man. We all love this bama team they're very talented and got better each week now they have to prove every one yet again don't ever doubt the Tide. Also safe travels to you

Ja'Corey Brooks will always be a Bama legend in my eyes! I hope he does well. He was the epitome of a champion and team player.

[@houstonjr.2616]

Malachi Moore deserves more recognition 🔥🔥🔥

[@bamafan18]

It feels like he has regressed though

[@houstonjr.2616]

@@bamafan18 ehh I’ve seen him make many big time plays throughout the year… And even if he doesn’t make the play, he’s doing his job and he’s in the right position most of the time… He’s been a great veteran presence on the field

Im glad Moore stuck it out after having an amazing freshman year and then not doing much till this year! Shows putting in the work pays off!

Overcoming injuries.

[@tw5139]

You can see how the defense got better as the season progressed. Reminds me of '16 Defense. On attack, nonstop!

[@biga101290]

Wasn’t that the year we had like 55 sacks?

[@jasonzielinski9283]

Indeed, though I'd take that defense over this one. Not to say this year has been bad at all, it's actually been a HUGE sight for sore eyes 😍@@biga101290

[@marquez6548]

Know the defense is elite , when we get one of these again

[@izallgood37]

Yeah I haven't posted one of these in a long time haha

[@ixel_4x]

The only thing that pissed me off during the Georgia game is that we should’ve had at least 4 INTs on Georgia. We definitely got to clean that up vs Michigan.

[@Los3rGam3s]

JJ McCardiac Arrest isn’t gonna know what hit em.

[@user-jn3gz3ex2s]

I think everyone better go back and rewatch the Texas game. BAMA offense isn't the same and the defense was down right menacing in the game..

[@tannerfavors]

gave up a few big plays but other than that, Texas couldn’t move the ball.

[@mynamedoesntmatter8652]

Thanks so much, my man! This defense definitely hit the high mark! The corners are great, the pass rush is there, and they’ve got great hands on takeaways. You have a great holiday season. Get some good personal time and some rest. January is closer than we think! RTR 🐘🏈

Roll tide man. Yeah this defense is peaking at the right time. I appreciate your comment! 💯💯

[@justinm7961]

I’m so sold on Caleb Downs. Im blown away watching him. Sky is the limit for that guy. Arnold, Turner, Lawson, McKinstry, SMH, it’s not even fair.

[@ive_beenthere_2638]

It's too many name. I can't keep up. Story, Campbell, Amos and some more that I know I'm missing.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Easily the best starting 4 CBs (McKinstry, Arnold, Moore and Amos) in the country and the best pass rushing duo as well. (Turner/Braswell) Best our DEs/DTs have played in awhile as well. Nice to have an All-SEC DE again in Justin Egiobe.

[@biga101290]

Why you think Kirby was so upset about losing out on him he defensive coach so he knows good to great defensive players when he see them

[@bpcarman]

I have to admit, when this season started I might have known the names of 3 of our defensive players. I honestly thought next year would be our year. Happy to report that I'm not very smart because I know them all now and this, my friends is how Alabama is supposed to play defense. Kevin Steele deserves a parade no matter what happens from here. This team is a 3 headed monster. Roll Tide.

[@bamafan18]

RTR

[@biga101290]

And I swear I feel 10 plus teams gone try to get both of the coaches in the off season Steele and Reese

[@markdaniel8740]

I thought the same thing. I am glad that they have made me eat my words. I still think they will be even better next year.

[@joeyphillips1181]

Arnold, Amos & Malachi Moore are elite.. so is Downs, kool aid & Key but the first 3 are my favorite in our secondary this year.. they aren't underrated but some people don't realize how good they are lol

[@dankohawkins3751]

Cool 😎 Alabama can't be beat they only beat their Damn selves. Coach Nick Saban knows the Process. Thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank YOU SIR

Favorite team Alabama roll tide roll tide good defense year

[@ChanceGreene836]

We final have the bama D back playing mean and nasty. Give up it up to coach Bala he got them humming

[@margomoore7570]

This was an excellent recap and love love love Bama.

[@Legal_Savant]

What's funny about the USF game that people love to bring up. USF was top 30 in passing and rushing on the year and averaged 30 PPG. Outside of their QB hurting with his legs, that was a thorough beating we put on their offense. They had less than 270 yards, if he doesn't break containment a few times, they would've had less than 200 yards of total offense, lol. This is why I knew if the offense got right, we would be in the position we are now. This is a damn good defense and it makes you wonder how many more titles we would've had if Steele was our DC instead of Pete. 👀 🤔

[@jakebuchsbaum3348]

I feel like we three peat 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 if we had Kevin Steele. Maybe not three peat but definitely have one more title in the 2020s.

[@jakebuchsbaum3348]

@aunttim2102 nah 2022 was all Bryce and will Anderson carrying the team

[@ceyaahlater294]

SEC football is just different. Michigan they're a good team. But that dont know whats coming to them. RTR

[@freekayflockerr]

[@Landonio]

Dat Crimson Cement Defense!

[@lemarbroden1226]

As a true Bama believer, I saw all I needed to see week 2 against Texas! Had The Mill Show been going on then, with the way that defense held Texas inside the 10 for 9 points! (3 field goals) That’s Defense playing

[@davidlee3254]

This is why Alabama made it in the cfp instead of fsu

[@sportclips934]

Love this video. You have it all in one place. Great job man!

[@masonbaker3505]

This is the best Bama defense I’ve seen in a long time, if Bama can just get their offense back to how the 2015 offense was, they’d be unstoppable

[@Legal_Savant]

Another reason that confirmed to me this team would be okay is the block kick that was returned for a TD by Braswell. Dallas Turner was flagged for a "very weak" blindside block. It brought the TD back, while the play was still going on the younger Deontae Lawson grabbed the upper classman Turner by the shoulder pads and voiced his displeasure. - That moment confirmed all my thoughts. Not too many times will you see a underclassman verbally and physically hold a future top 15 pick accountable in front of the world for a bone head mistake. I LOVE THIS TEAM!!

[@laquashagordon]

Auburn went out sad 😂 Roll Tide

[@mynamedoesntmatter8652]

They went out in shock. RTR

I remember the Texas A&M game very well. The refs were literally doing everything they could to keep A&M in the game, but the defense overcame them and the Offense

Lmao poor ole miss that score does not show a third of how bama truly Dominated that game defensively, and all those close picks against Georgia wow, you could just see the speed and recognition get faster all year ,this bunch is something special wow

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Our CBs have been fantastic this year, easily the best starting 4 in the country. (So happy M. Moore has been able to stay healthy) DEs/DTs are playing much better to the point it looks like Justin Egiobe is a totally different player. Outside LBers/Edge rusher are the best duo in the country. Campbell is coming along extremely nicely, Lawson is only gonna get better ‘n better, Marshall was a great addition and Blackshire would be starting at majority at schools. Biggest stock risers are Terrion Arnold and Braswell. Are we losing both Amos and Key after the season?

[@lockettdokett]

It’s amazing how much impact 1 coordinator leaving can do

[@joeyphillips1181]

This is the best defense that Alabama has had in a few years.. the secondary & LB's are insane.. including the edge rushers.. Eboigbe and Oatis do enough on the line to get the job done

[@user-lk5tf5it9x]

Watching now and I am sure I will enjoy!

[@paverdaddymcslingsabrick896]

If our offense Didnt give up so many opportunities early in the season we would've been undefeated. Texas as good as they are should have had half the opportunities to score and Bama left 21 on the field through rookie mistakes and penalties. Honestly we should have won by 14. But luckily we get a chance to redeem ourselves. I think Texas would be unfortunate to meet Bama in the Natty.

@louieo.blevinsmusic4197 maybe. Idk Texas has looked almost invisible, but so has Bama. I know they lost to Oklahoma, that is a rival. Same thing with Bama.

[@user-xb5qr2ye4k]

So am i alone in thinking this is arguably the most complete defense in the Saban era? Seems like every year there is one or two db's that get embarrassed almost weekly. (Hellams last year) This team doesn't have that player. And what position is the weakness? Don't care much about their ranking. This film shows a defense that has a perfect balance of size and athleticism at every position. Historically, an offense like LSUs would've played bama to the wire. Not this year. Daniels played a good game. But a combination of two elite corners, One of the most complete lbs in cfb in Lawson two edge rushers that have nearly 100 qb hurries combined. And an interior dl that is as good as any in the nation. Held one of the greatest offenses ever in the sec to fewer yards and points than any other team except texas in week one. Since the Texas L They are motivated, hungry and ready to prove everyone wrong. That's a scary combination. and i don't think Michigan will stop bama. Just watch their tape. Their front 7 is extremely undersized in comparison and their dbs are slow. Its gonna take a heroic performance from jj and corum to keep Michigan in the game. They don't match bama in any position other than RB. This team is young and its rare for a team this inexperienced at the start of the season to accomplish what they've done. If they beat Michigan. Saban and this bama squad will be the 1st in history to beat two #1 teams two weeks in a row. So many anylists are saying this team is not as good as years past. With milroe improving every week (and the whole offense). Along side this defense, it might be the opposite. If Bama wins it all, this will be the greatest season ive watched during the saban era. This team has a chance to accomplish a feat no other team in history has accomplished. All while being counted out by everyone the first half of the season. Can't wait for the playoffs, and to watch this team continue to prove everyone wrong. Sabans best year coaching by far in terms of mid season progress and development.
