What about Grant Hill at LT?



Probably a possibility. Makes more sense than Shep. I imagine Leon Brown may end up getting a chance at it too, there will be a lot of open competition between everyone and Saban and CMC will try to get the best five.


Cam Robinson
Dom Jackson
Arie K
Chad L
Ryan Kelly
Grant Hill
Leon Brown
Austin Shep


Some combination of those guys. Don't know if any freshmen other than C-Rob will be in the thick of it.

It would be good to see TJ get the OL back that he had that year.


Fixed it for you.

TJ is good, but he was better as part of a tandem.

The TJ Yeldon lack of appreciation is borderline absurd. He rushed for 149 yards against A&M, 121 against Ole Miss, 133 against LSU, and 141 against Auburn. He broke 120 yards in 6 of 8 SEC games. His 6.0 ypc is better than Trent Richardson in 2011 (5.8) and comparable to Ingram in 09 (6.1).

I don't think anyone isn't saying that he is a competent RB, it just that he certainly has some things to work on. As of right now he has 8 career fumbles in 26 games. Off the top of my head I can think of three of those that came inside the 10 yard line. No matter his YPC, yardage and other stats ball security is a real problem for him.

He's lost 6. Five this year, one last year. The one against LSU was AJ's fault.


That's still bad, but it's a little better.

Yeah, he was a beast in 2013 besides the fumbling.

The stat site that I looked up has him with 3 fumbles last year. LINK . Not sure how they came up with the numbers or if they stuck him with a couple, like you said, that were AJ's fault. Either way, he has to work on that part of the game, when he figures that out he'll be a an all around beast.
