Bored and thought I throw this out there and see what yall think.

Defense

DE - Marcel Dareus
NT - Josh Chapman
DE - Luther Davis

Jack LB - Courtney Upshaw
Will LB - Nico Johnson
Mike LB - Donta Hightower
Sam LB - Jerrell Harris

Cornerbacks - Dre Kirkpatrick and Phelon Jones

Safeties - Robby Green and Mark Barron

The harder question is what it will look like when we switch to Nickle.

My Guess is

DE - Luther Davis
DT - Marcel Dareus
DT - Josh Chapman
DE/Jack - Courtney Upshaw

LBs - Nico Johnson and Donta Hightower

Nickleback/Star - Scott or Woodson

Cornerbacks - Jones and Kirkpatrick

Safeties - Green and Barron

Damain Square should see some valuable PT on the DLine as well, along with Kerry Murphy.

Not sure if Jerrell is in Saban's doghouse or not, but that might change things at Sam, but I fill pretty confident about the rest of the LBs.

Jones and Kirkpatrick seem the reasonable guys to end up at CB, but not real sure how Scott has improved in his RS year. He may edge out Jones, and Menzie is definite candidate if he can learn the defense quickly. Woodson is a Head Hunter and would be great on a Nickle Blitz, but not sure if he could cover the slot well. The Nickle Defense is a toss up for me right now.


Offense

LT - Carpenter
LG - Jones (I think he'll move over from RG)
C - Vlachos
RG - Warmack
RT- I'm gonna go out on a limb on this one and say Alfred McCullough (practiced as back up at both tackle positions late in the year ahead of Love, and I don't think Fluker is ready yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't)

QB - McElroy

RBs - Ingram and Richardson equally

WRs -Julio, Hanks, and Maze. Probably see a good deal of Micheal Bowman too.

TE - Michael Williams

H Back - Preston Dial

Just cause your defense sucked when Jones was there, doesn't mean he'll suck at Bama. And Robby Green played well for us last year. Believe he had a pick against ya'll.

Looks about right. Especially this:

Could really see Square or Murphy pushing for a starting role or getting lots of snaps either way.

Incorrect. Our safeties are fine.

Our DBs are the question. I think Menzie might make it as a starter. I don't Phelon is that far ahead of anyone if at all. I also think Fulton will play as a true frosh.

Glad you mentioned Square. Everyone always forgets about him and he was blowing people up before his injury last season.

I expect us to lose 2 games, but with your coach that will still get us to ATL.

Thanks.

I agree, I think Dre has one CB position in hand, the other and Nickleback are the big questions.

Were you upset by the bammer posters asking if Powe could read yet?

Never saw that post, and I didn't type it. You DID type yours.

You can't ever just contribute some info and be cool.... have a decent conversation. You always have to bag on SOMEBODY to make you feel like you're "cool" or something. It's fricking annoying.

Good on you.....a bama fan who understands a joke when he reads it.



Thanks for having a good attitude about it.

You are way too sensitive. It's not a big deal fella, just a joke.

Get some perspective......

I retract my statement about you being sensitive if you start calling out all of the bammer flamers on here but I doubt you will do that.

You know what I do? I don't call out everyone in a fanbase because we have a couple of delusional douchebags of our own. I go after specific guys, who are douchebags. Example: "H0nk", "CC Tiger1", sometimes "CPA".

I find it interesting that most of the guys I fricked with are banned now. It had nothing to do with me, I was just right about who the assholes were.

I guess I'm asking you to be selective. A lot of the Bama posters here are really cool people.
