Question for Bama fans. What positions do you have of concern for lack of experience on the defensive side? Seems that you guys are losing a lot to the NFL/Seniors this year. Not that it matters all that much being that you recruit at such a high level, but which positions do you expect to have the most growing pains in?

We seem to have little experience on the DL and to some extent LB. We have talent but little starting experience. I think our Secondary will/should be as good as Saban has had since he has been here due to starters and depth.

In the front 7, the only returning starters are Shaun Dion-Hamilton and Daron Payne. Deshawn Hand and Rashaun Evans have played enough football to step in seemlessly. The rest will be guys seeing a big increase in playing time.
In the secondary we lose Eddie Jackson and Marlon Humphrey. Considering we played without Eddie to end last season and we have 3 great corners with experience returning, no one is worried about that.

There is talent on D. Young ,mixed experienced. If you are going to score many points against them do it early. Three or four games under their belt and they will be good.
Too much talent not to be.

I honestly expect that we will again have the best defense in the SEC. We have the talent and coaching and the system is proven and rooted in. Of course it is gonna be tough to replace the pass rush and logic dictates that it will take a step back but it will be elite. Replace 5 stars with other 5 stars. Has worked out now for a decade.
