Alabama Football: Juggling the pieces in the 2019 secondary

Alabama football fans are looking for change in 2019 Crimson Tide secondary. The change sought is not necessarily one in personnel, but rather in results, as in stopping the passing attacks of opponents.

The Alabama football defense got torched by Trevor Lawrence and company in the national championship game. All the blame does not fall on the secondary but on too many plays the Tide’s defensive backs were out of position or physically dominated by Dabo’s wide receivers.

Nick Saban was so displeased, the Alabama football staff now has three coaches working with the secondary. A former defensive coordinator, Charles Kelly was brought in to work with the safeties.
