Why is the question just about the front seven. Our dline is actually a question mark.
However, we have the best defensive backfield in the SEC. And its not close.

Laugh all you want, but if you disagree you probably don't follow personnel and stats in the SEC that much. Bamas dbackfield is probably the best in the country this year.

Exactly. Its why we wrapped up our third top 10 finish in a row last year. Know what thats like, seeing your team get three straight top tens in a row? not unless you're fifty plus you dont.
Didn't think a Bama fan would actually bite on this one.
You didn't disappoint.

LSU would like a word with you.

i love a thread where someone of a rival team makes a post to be convinced of something about the other team, when he knows for a fact that no matter what is said will be disregarded as "Homerism" by the other teams fans.

I think LSU has a good secondary this year, but really at this point has only two stars. Matthieu(sp?) And Claiborne.
Where Bama has at least 5
Take a look at some of the unit rankings for this year (i.e. Phil Steele, Lindys, Athlon, ESPN, etc.) and you'll see I'm not alone.

Bama was the media darling all last season. Before Mallett threw in the towel against you guys every mag in the country was saying there was Bama then every one else. You guys were playing on a different level. You won 24-20 and proceeded to get beat soundly by USCe the following week. Then to close out the season you lost to Jordan Jefferson and the offensively challenged and finally choked a giant donkey against Auburn. Up that much at the half and you couldn't win :)
You finished in the AP top 10 because the media loved you all last year (despite three SEC losses which DOES put you in fourth in the west) and a dominant bowl performance. You were the highest rated three loss team because they love you. Just like Oklahoma was the highest rated 2 loss team, the media loves them. Oklahoma barely beat a horrible Texas team last year, lost to A&M, and avoided Nebraska. They looked like crap in their bowl but still won because they finished up the year of a weak schedule by playing a horrible bowl opponent..
The last BCS numbers had us ahead of you. We had the same number of losses as you, but lost to better teams than you by your own metric(we both lost to AU, OSU finished higher than LSU, and you guys finished way higher than USCe). While you finished at 10, we finished at 11...big freaking difference.

Saban would have to have 3 or 4 straight years of mediocrity before his shite would even BEGIN to stink, among the Alabama faithful.

Wat questions. All yu need to know is top 10 means something, non top 10 doesnt. Yall went to the SEC championhip game in 06 over LSU, think any non retarded fanbase would trade their top 3 finish for your year? Hell no.
Arky- failing to back up the shite talk since 1982.

So arky vlues a meaningless position in their division over a national rank that people pay attention to nd which helps recruiting? No wonder you idiots cant run a football program.

I'm not sold on Bama's dline or their secondary, quite frankly. And those are supposed to be strengths of the team.
The dline is an unknown quantity right now, and their secondary was less than excellent last year.
Their season will depend on QB play, secondary improvement, and JC dlinemen playing well.
