Wasn't Barrett Jones a starter on that 2008 line as well?

No. He started as a RS freshman in '09.

Here's the deal, it doesn't matter who Bama lines up at any position. The bottom line is, Bama will win at least 12 games every year with whoever. And more than likely win the national title.

the talk happens every year. But, it's pointless.

Rival fans said we couldn't replace 3 year starter JPW and expect to win....we won the very next year with a 1st year starter. We couldn't replace Coffee with an unproven back named Ingram....he immediately won the Heisman. We couldn't trust Richardson to be the primary back since he's never done it before.....we won the BCSNC. We couldn't expect to be good on defense after losing 4 defenders to the 1st round of the draft......we immediately won the next BCSNC and finished with the #1 defense in the country.

Players' experience doesn't matter at Bama. The only thing that matters is changing the names in the program for the depth chart.

Alabama is a machine and is pretty much unstoppable. Saban will win the NC at least 3 more times before his contract is up
