I have noticed we are getting some GREAT RUN SUPPORT from Goodman and Allen. They both are very good TACKLERS. If those guys could improve a little more in Pass Protection, we would be ALL SET.
 
That's true. I'm especially happy with Allen. He's been a willing and solid tackler, and a huge upgrade over what Madison is doing in NY. Ask any Giants fan who got the better deal now.
 
Will Allen and Andre Goodman are good tacklers, and Travis Daniels is probably the best cover CB of the three. I think once Daniels is fully healthy again that CB wise things will be ok. The real problem in my opinion is the safety's. I think that Saban planned all along to have Jason Allen starting by now and he never meant for Travares Tillman to start. Also, although Renaldo Hill is a good tackler, he is bad in coverage and is slow. Allen has been slow to develop, which is fine, but not good for a team with playoff aspirations. I mean it is not abnormal for a 1st round safety to sit early, (see Troy Polamalu). I no Yeremiah Bell is "slow", but I really think we would be better off with him in there. or maybe, we need to bring in a vet along the lines of Lance Shulters or Troy Vincent when he is waived in the coming weeks.
 
I agree. We had problems on that one drive in the Buffalo game where they just kept going at Goodman, but we adjusted and other than that they have been very good.

Good run support by the cbs is one of Saban's priorities. IMO it's the main reason Madison is gone.

If Goodman or Allen could play QB then we'd be all set.
 
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but it always seemed to me like a CB's job was to cover recievers.
 
we really need some safetys that make their presence known. and thats what our secondary is lackin big time. watching the game on tv yesterday i didnt even notice hill or tillman one time. if they were a cb that would be great news but there not and the need to be makin plays.
