Dijon Lee Jr.

Big chunk play that had Tennessee in business, and it wiped it back out.

And on the Matthews credit, he got the football on the next play, made a nice little move on Dijon Lee on the edge, and got most of the yardage back on that long drive.

And to kind of talk about Matthews just in general, Ryan, he's sort of kind of...

He's trending up the past two games.

And now you've got legitimate cornerback issues.

We know Dijon Lee's been struggling for a bit now.

Carmelo Neal, his first start last weekend, it was okay, mixed bag.

So you might have some corner problems going forward too, which is a big issue.

That's on him.

So, you know, I know a week earlier everyone's, like, patting him on the back saying, hey, good job ripping and, you know, getting into Dijon Lee's butt, you know, for what he did.

Everybody was all about that.

But then you follow that up with that tough performance against Georgia, and it was very similar, Landrum, to what we have seen multiple times under Kalen DeBoer.

Zabian Brown, their best corner.

Because what's his name? Dijon Lee has been a liability all year on and off the field.

And then Bray Hubbard went out as well.

So by the end of the game, they had five starters out.

And DeBoer's been kind of the same way.

Every time Alabama fans start to believe in this guy, even in the loss to Georgia, the way he chewed the officials after the mispass interference call, the way he chewed Lee after the penalty at the end of the game, I think a lot of Alabama fans, even in the loss, were like, Hey, we're probably the second best team in the country, and our coach is showing the fire we want our coach to show.

And he goes and gives all that away at Tennessee.

And he's killing the boards right back where.

That's right.

Everybody loved that post-game speech.

Listen to Kirby, and he calls – Calls Dijon Lee a dummy, which Dijon

Lee was a dummy.

What does that mean exactly? Sometimes they're just not throwing the ball at you.

The other corner spot has been the bigger issue with Dijon Lee, who has really struggled, former five-star recruit, who played a little bit as a freshman last year.

He actually started for a while, then he got benched later in the year.

They needed him to start this year.

And so he was on TV as he is now.

And, you know, There was kind of some back and forth this summer between Womack and Nick Saban about running zone versus man because Saban thinks if you run zone, you're going to get picked apart by a good quarterback, as they did with Fernando Mendoza in the Rose Bowl last year.

And so Womack has tried to run more man, but then guys like Dijon Lee just aren't very good at it.

Dijon Lee's 6'4".

Yeah, that's exactly right.

And, you know, the other thing, too, was when you take Xavier Brown off the field and Dijon Lee's struggling, which he is.

Like, right now, I feel like they're having to play around Dijon Lee There's always something happening, whether it's a grabby on coverage and drawing pass interference calls, poor tackling.

I didn't think Alabama tackled very well on the perimeter.

But again, a lot of that was because they never came up and challenged them.

And Tennessee got loose around the perimeter a few times.

Obviously, I know one play that has made the social media rounds quite a bit was a leak by Dijon Lee, who let a runner get outside of him for a pretty big gain when he could have made a play out there by just setting an edge.

And look, it's one thing to be setting an edge At linebacker, especially on the open side of the field, that's not easy.

It should be easy for a corner.
