re: What will make Bama great this season?

4. speed at the LB position. this years version will be a bit smaller than their predecesors but they are faster. Adrain Hubbard is gonna remind anyone of Upshaw or J.Harris, he's got a different skill set than either of those guys

In my opinion we did have speed last year. Mosley is fast. Nico isn't as fast, but he's definitely now slow. Harris was quick, not fast. Hightower ran, what, a 4.6 at the combine?


CJ and DeBeast have nice speed for LBers, and Nico will be about the same as last year.

I agree with Hubbard. I think he'll be a better pass rusher then Upshaw, and he's better in coverage too. Dickson will be an alright pass rusher, pretty good in coverage, but I think he'll shine in bringing down edge runners when Williams stuffs the dive plays every single time.
