My goodness that will be a NASTY bunch. And we bring back our top 5 corners. Man for man, could this front 7 be better than 2011?

Don't think we'll be better than '11. I honestly don't know if we'll ever see a defense like 2011 in CFB again.

I'm still going to be worried about the secondary.

As far as offense in 2015, I think we'll be good. Coker with a year of the system under his belt should give us a pretty good arm. Hopefully the OLine can gel and he won't have to try to escape the pocket much. Dude is a statue back there.

Thre answer to this question is absolutely. This will be a better defensive line group than that one by a solid margin, and a worse linebacker group but not by much. If Evans and Williams and Foster can be as productive as Upshaw and Mosley then the front 7 will be better overall imo

Nope ....hes a 4.6 4.7 guy def not a statue

Our Front 7 is going to be nasty and has the potential to rival 11 imo .

Coker is not shifty but he has good straight line speed.

The 15 defensive line will be probably the best pass rushing line we have had. Numbers can't be as good as 11 but that is mainly due to the offense in the sec these days

If Reed comes back and Foster takes the step then yes

If the defense turns out to be elite, and kiffin keeps the offense rolling, I could see us winning every game by at least 14.

That's a huge if. Should it come to pass, I could see Alabama having a 2011 like season where the Saban Bowl is another low scoring game, perhaps labeled Game of the Century Part II.

LSU returns a lot of defensive talent and experience that has the potential to rival or surpass their 2011 defense. I wouldn't expect significant improvement in LSU's quarterbacks, but if they become average then the showdown in Tuscaloosa should be epic.

A lot of people on here actually seem to be low-balling this front 7. The depth and returning experience is insane. Evans is shaping up to be destructive imo, and Ragland will step into Depriest's role extremely well. Of course the other two LBs will have to step up, but just the DL and those two guys are gonna cause nightmares.

Besides safeties, I think everyone's worrying too much about the secondary as well. And that pass rush is gonna give them a break.

Thats not all of the bluechip backups who would likely start at other sec teams. Could be best DL ever at Bama.

That D has the potential to be 11 good, but it is hard to live up to that. If we get good Safety play, then we'll talk.

I've talked so much about the 15 team I don't even know if I should bother repeating it all again.
