i've heard alot on here about Bama winning it all angain this year but i just want to know what Bama fans think about special teams. losing Arenas has got to hurt.
i've asked my Bama friends and they tell me that richardson will handle it. i think they are discounting what javier arenas brought to the table. lastyear he was good for 15-25 yards everytime he recieved a punt. the dude was lightning in a bottle.
this is not a flame just asking
BTW WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I for one think we lost to much to repeat.

True. But more times than not teams kicked away from him.

They have a better backup waiting in the wings, just like with every other player they lost

Special teams will lose us a game this year. We lost every single key player in that phase of the game.
I expect to lose one like we lost Arky in Tiffin's first year...

I have a tendency to agree with you on this. It takes more than just being a good RB to play that position. First you have to catch the ball and Javy hardly ever dropped a kick, then you have to be able to see the gap and get through it.
Very few people could replace Javy in my opinion. I think we will be ok at that position but I don't think they will equal what he did when he was back there.

He'll be missed maybe more than any other player gone from last year.Shula recruited him just as a return man,but dude's such a great athlete he made a great corner.I hate replacing punt returners.

We'll miss him for many, many reasons this year and his special teams play was indeed special and a thing of beauty. I really like the idea of Julio and Trent returning kicks but it would be foolish to expect them to come close to what Javy brought to the table as a return guy.
