Tell me about Ole Miss' defense.

After the second shall we say less than impressive outing by Alabama's offensive line in the first three games, I am now legitimately concerned about this group. Sure they still have time to get better, but the performance three games in against what should have been an overmatched CSU defensive front has me worried. Alabama's new center Ryan Kelly does not look like he can handle any decent dlineman one on one at this point. This is causing Alabama to have to help with the guards in the center a lot and in my opinion is causing confusion and a domino effect up and down the line. Alabama's offensive line is struggling just trying to stand their ground with the opposing dline at this point, much less being able to get to the LBs on the next level which has been a staple of Alabama's run game the last few years.
What does Ole Miss have on the dline and the front seven, particularly in the interior? I've only seen the Vandy game and really wasn't paying that much attention.

If your center is having problems then Isaac Gross is going to have a big day

Isaac Gross will do this to your Center.
I should point out he's #94 and he's off the line before anyone on the O-Line knows WTF happened. He ate up two blocks.
He's only 256 lbs.
He will eat you.

Well, I am willing to say that it'll be the best D yall have faced, and it's getting better every week.
Gotta go out and play though.

Really good front seven...weakness is secondary, but that should be helped by getting Charles Sawyer back this week.

This week will be the most complete our defense has been all season. In previous weeks we've had guys hurt or suspended. Denzel wants to play and is going to practice tomorrow. I doubt the coaches will be able to keep him off the field. He had his best game against bama last year. If he doesn't play there is not drop in talent there as his backup leads the team in tackles after only 2 games.
Biggest key is that the entire secondary is playing. That alone will make it easier for the d line. Not saying they are all world but at least they're all the origional starters. If bama's o line struggles this game will be closer than people think.

DL is finally healthy and is very solid. Not elite because our two best DL are undersized (230lb at DE and 255lb at DT). Very deep and talented by OM standards. Not a strong pass rush from the DL alone, and not a dominant run stopping DL but solid in both regards.
At LB we are missing our best play maker in Denzel but his back up is a tackling machine. Our Mike is slow but knows the defend like the back of his hand. Not a bad player, but is taken out in passing situations often. Just like DL, very deep, but not quite as talented. Most consistent unit
Secondary is shaky. We will start a 5'8 and 5'9 CB so your taller WR should feel comfortable. They are both very atheltic and physical though so don't expect your WR to run block the hell out of them or seal them on screens. #28 is who you will go after since he is playing CB for the second time in his young college career. If he can't handle the moment then we will put in our 3 year starter, but it will he his first game of the year back due to an injury an DUI. We have a very solid safety in Cody Prewitt (#25) who would have 6 picks if he could catch a ball that hits him in both hands. Very physical against the run and always puts himself in good position in coverage. The other safety will either be Elston (#7) who is better against the run or Brown (#8) who is better against the pass. We run a 4-2-5 so I will count Tony Connor (#12) as part of the secondary but against y'all we will not need to change personell to go to our 4-3 because he is as physical as a LB and will just slide up. His back up will be Keith Lewis who is a LB we use mostly in pass coverage
