I hope this question isn't inappropriate but it's been two weeks since Aaron Douglas passed away so I don't think it's too early to ask questions about that position. Am I the only person who's really worried about this position? Alfred McCullough started a couple games at RT last year and was absolutely terrible. Cyrus Kouandijo is only a true freshman and the Andre Smiths of the world are a rare breed. D.J. Fluker isn't quick enough on his feet to deal with the elite pass rushers coming off the edge at LT. Who can step in and do an acceptable job at LT this year?

My hope is that this is a huge weakness for Bama and that your QB/QBs turn out to be a nice shite sandwich. Otherwise, Bama is going to be a damn good team next year.

I'd start Kouandjio. He's gonna be special IMO

Barrett Jones



Cyrus Kouandjio





















DJ Fluker




Alfred McCullough

I want Jones there unless Cy just dominates fall camp and take it from him. Fluker still has problems as a RT, no way I'd want him protecting the blindside. McCullough is more suited to being a 6th/Utility/Backup lineman, he's good in spurts, but not enough to start...

Best guess is we will start with Jones or McCullough, or both, maybe Fluker also and break in Kouandijo. With, if all goes well, Kouandijo being the starter by the end of the year. Just a guess though.
