In the Saban / Smart defensive logic, containment, confusion and pressure are far more important that sack numbers...... With the undeniable talent Alabama puts on the field, if they wanted to make sack numbers a priority, they certainly could..... But to understand what these two coaches are trying to do is contain a quarterback in the pocket, then collapse the pocket on him....... Yes it takes longer to accomplish, but with mobile quarterbacks becoming the rage, you wind up with better results when you only give those very mobile quarterbacks one tool to beat you with, their arm, by taking away the damage they could do with their legs..... So while the number of sacks have some Tide fans wishing for more, it’s been hard to argue with the results of going the containment first route....... Besides, when you come home with more crystal for the case, things like sack counts don’t really seem so important after all..............
