Three NFL linemen leaving
That's my biggest concern. Hopefully, Fluker comes back for his senior year.

None of them are worth a damn except for Jesse Williams.

Is Mosley even a projected first round pick? Johnson isn't that big of a loss. He's pretty replaceable.

our top corner
I'm much more worried about the Bama pass rush than the secondary next year. Our CBs would look much better if they weren't left on an island so much because the front seven isn't good enough to generate pressure on the QB without blitzing.

Haha Clinton-Dix with an additional year of experience plus Landon Collins will actually be an upgrade over our safeties this year. I've never been impressed with Lester's pass coverage.

sure you can. At least 2 and possibly 3 will return, the whole line isn't being replaced
They might play really well, but I don't think you can expect it. They're going to play alright, but I would expect a pretty big drop off

The problem is that if JFF is running, regardless of the reason, its rarely a bad thing for aTm.

He will IMO. I'd obviously love for him to stay though.

I've got him as a first rounder.
Nah, I thought he was a senior.

aTm is gonna have to be able to get that kind of performance out of the D consistently to win anything in the SEC. If you can do that next year, yall will be fricking redonkulous.
The schedule is very favorable next year. Get Bama early at Kyle Field, Mizzou and Vandy from the east, and really only two tough road games agaisnt LSU and OM.
At this point, I would be surprised if our OTs both left. One might, probably not both. Matthews will get a chance to play with his little bro on the OL. Joeckel's twin brother is also on the team and has publicly hinted that he does not intend to leave. I know its big money, but it would not surprise me to see them stay.
Now if we could get Moore to stay, then I will be really happy. I think he is less likely. I think talent wise we will be better for sure. The biggest losses will probably be our two veteran LBs.
Either way, everyone has to deal with losses of some sort. Its going to be a blood bath for the SECw next year.

He'll be able to do that shite against most teams but now LSU or Bama. Saban won't let him go nuts 2 years in a row and LSU will have speed all over the place once again.

Anyone who thinks that Bama and LSU won't continue to be good is a freaking idiot!!!
Those teams will remain at the top for sometime to come, regardless of who leaves for the NFL. It won't hurt LSU & Bama as much as other SEC schools.
aTm, Arkansas, and MSST will all battle for number 3 for the next 5 years.

I used to say that before the season started, but I am weary of the amount of talent leaving on the O-line. If Fluker stays, then maybe the offense won't miss a beat, but it will be tough to say.
As far as the defense goes, we lose a lot, but I have faith in those young guys to step up. We will be really good, but I don't see us being as dominant as previous years.

My major concern for the defense isnt the talent level on the field, it's the fact that there will still be a lot of untested and inexperienced players on defense. It bothers me a little bit. If they play to their talent level immediately, its our year for sure.

Losing alot but there is alot in the cupboard so to speak. Just going to depend on quickly they can mature and gel together.

It's almost impossible to get that many young guys to play like an oiled machine from the get go. It took us 8 games on offense and we're seeing the defense get shredded a little bit more because of the youth in out secondary.

This is not about being good. Its about winning the title.

As long as JFF is there, aTm will be jockeying for the top spot with Bama and LSU.

They aren't that inexperienced though. There's a ton of juniors listed on the two deep chart. And they aren't losing much in terms of elite talent. Warmack, Milliner, and maybe Fluker are the only projected first round picks in the 2013 draft. They're mostly losing guys who will be drafted in the third day of the draft. Whoopie-doo. It's not like any of them are irreplaceable.

The good news is, Fulton got put in the fire like Dee did two years ago and he stepped up with several big plays against aTm. He could develop into a good player next season

Depends on the o-line. This year they have been good but they are also losing several starters. Going to be interesting to see for sure.

I'd say there are about 3-5 teams on paper next year that could put it all together for a great run. However, I'm not up to speed on what each team is losing specifically. Based on what you've said Bama is losing: that is A LOT to replace. SEC teams live and die by their lines. Case in point, look at us this year. Our strength going into the season was our O Line; then we got the injury bug and it took us half the season to gel with the new guys.

I keep hearing people say this, but they're only starting one senior on the OL... Matthews will be back... his family's got plenty of money.
