Mr. Reality said:He missed camp and Saban's system is complex and wah, wah, wah, wah. Both Simpson and Whitner are playing and playing well already. This guy better be in there soon.

Rookies start on bad/depleted teams. 5th ranked pass defense in the whole league. Couple of big plays due to miscommunication but still.

The Safety position requires different responsibilities in different defenses. Sabans defense requires the safety to make a lot of complex calls. Do u want someone out there who hasn't seen all these offenses and puts the team in the wrong defense?
Donte Whitner of Buffalo is playing a vanilla Tampa 2, where they have a lot less complicated scheme. They have already conceded to the rebuilding process as well.
Troy Polamalu, in a similar scheme as Saban, did not start much his rookie year.
Allen held out and then got moved to CB and then moved back. Let the guy get the system down and then evaluate him.

Whitner20 said:Who's "conceded" to the rebuilding process? We're rebuilt...the guys on our team will be here for a while......
And don't you guys have 4 new guys in your secondary....what do you call that?
But your right.....Sabans D is complicated....apparently too complicated for anyone to possibly learn and play effectively ......same with Mularkeys offense.
Whitner20 said:You played us and the Steelers with Batch....two run oriented teams..... and you still got burned a couple times a game.....
And like you said, rookies start on bad teams......
