Bama's returning Offensive starters

Yeah, Cam Robinson (LT), Ryan Kelly (C), and OJ Howard (TE).

Derrick Henry wasn't the starting RB, but he had more yards, a higher YPC, and just as many TDs as Yeldon. Plus Drake is back and he's looked good when he has played.

We've got a lot of talent, but lacking experience. No idea what to expect. It's all one big question mark and I'm excited to see what it looks like.

Think LSU 2014

Your RB's will be fine with those two. The Stewart guy is who I was thinking could pick up some slack.

Keep an eye on this guy:

LG: Ross Pierschbacher

LSU 2014 with a QB. Decent to good offense.

If the defense can stop the run and have someone shut down Drake it's all over for Bama's offense.

Eh, depends on the QB. Kiffin will draw up plays to easily get talent the ball. And we have no shortage of talent. Stewart, Foster, Ridley, Howard, Drake, and Henry. Then some solid guys like Black and Mullaney.

That's of course just talent though, the lack of experience could be a problem early. Especially against an experienced team like Ole Miss.

Stewart and foster have been money all spring and fall camp, and mullaney has a ton of experience and production in his career. We will be fine. Henry is not a returning starter, just a returning rushing yardage leader, and drake was leading the team in tds last year before ole miss took him out

Five true freshman are on the offensive line depth chart. Second-team members include Lester Cotton (left tackle) and Dallas Warmack (left guard). Third team players are Brandon Kennedy (center), Richie Petibon (right guard), and Matt Womack (right tackle).

There are 17 true freshmen listed overall on the depth chart ? six on defense and 11on offense. Seven made the top two with three listed as first team or co-first team. Daron Payne (nose tackle), Minkah Fitzpatrick (star), and Calvin Ridley (receiver) all made the top line

Everyone is talented in the SEC. Experience is crucial.

Of course.

I'd be terrified about the OL if I was a Bama fan.

I'm skeptical about pass pro, but not worried, not until I see it. C-Rob and Kelly will be good. Piersbacher is strong and athletic at LG, but I've gotta see what he's got. At RT Dom Jackson should be a dominating run blocker, but is suspect in pass protection. RG looks like Talyor has taken the job from Bozeman. He's ok.

So, I'm terrified. I'm skeptical about pass pro though.

They don't have any WRs to bail out their QB. Drake is the closest thing to a threat in that offense.

Oh. I see now.

I thought we were actually having a conversation about football a few days before the season starts. I see we're just going that route.


You're right man, Bama has no weapons on offense. We fricked. 8-4 at best.
