The Brent Brewer hit said it all

[gsb0824]

to me at least. How many times did we see our defense lunge out at someone rather than tackling them? In fact, Brewer did this a lot last year. Someone is doing some coachin!

Brewers hit was awesome.that kid was hurt and so was the kid when Gordon got him on the WR screen.

Certainly the best tackling in a long time.

Very few missed tackles. Another thing, when our DBs touched the ball they picked it. I can't tell you how many times, even during the 90s, when our DBs would drop easy picks. Now they catch the tough ones.

Good post. This staff definitely appears to be an upgrade over the previous one, at this point anyway.

Does anyone have video of the Gordon hit?

Tackling,Attitude,Adjustments,Interceptions,Aggressiveness. All words to describe the D after NC state, And seldom used in the last few years to describe UT defenses. If those same words can be used after games with UF,UGA,USCe. We could be in for a great season!!!!!!...GBO4LIFE

That Eric Gordon pick especially was a very nice catch. I was impressed with him in that game. Looked like he's adjusting to his new role extremely well.

There were some blown coverages but I can only remember one blown tackle. These guys are wrapping up and hitting HARD!

Saban (and thus Ansley) teaches finding the ball in the air and making a play on it. Totally upgraded our defensive staff. Expect more once they are comfortable back there. 4 in the first game.......
