With Burroughs in the portal I really Alabama's D-line will be easier to run on this year I only see 4-5 quality d-linemen with experience.

Watching LSU’s walk-on RB run through and over Gump defenders was fun.
I remember when teams actually feared Alabama’s defense

He and T-smith and Justin E are good players but after them who else has proven they can be a key contributor.

I'm telling you they are not nearly as deep as they use to be

Can you guys stick to the Tiger rant? Would be a much better experience.

You'll see more when you get to Tuscaloosa.

The days of Pete Golding are over. Our defense won't be a bunch of pussies anymore.

They have plenty of talent. Turner is a beast, thought he played better than Anderson last year.

The edges with Braswell,Tuner and others will be elite. I'm talking about big bodies at the D-line position.

Keep lying to yourself through July and August - every player on Bama's DL will be better than their LSU OL matchup - and that will include Bama's 2-deep rotation.

I'm just not seeing any Darron Paynes,Quinnien Williams,Marcel Darrius or Johthan Allen on this defense. Tim Smith and Jahiem Oatis are very good players but I don't see any dominant interior players and the depth is definitely not what it use to be.

Jah-Marien Latham is a good player. Solid SEC D limeman. He was probably the 4th lineman (even before the Burroughs issue). Anquin Barnes has huge upside and is very physically talented (1st Rd upside), but really struggles with assignments, so he's limited in Saban's system due to that for now. The true freshman 5* James Smith looks like he will be special according to those around the program. Renaud should also be very good, but will need to put on weight. Maybe this will be the year Damon Payne decides he wants it. Tons of talent, but hasn't bought completely in to S&C yet. Goodwine has good potential.
All in all, it's a very talented group. It's kind of a make or break year for Roach (DL coach), though. It's not much of a secret that his seat is pretty hot.

The starters will all be very good to elite. Better than last year for sure.
Oatis can be a 1st rd guy has to show consistent push up the middle though.

LSU56 seems like a legitimate new poster.
LSU56 seems like a quality poster that will contribute much to this sports talk forum. He is most definitely not NFLSU, or LSUStephen, or Herman Frisco.
