Yeah, biggest concerns for me are 1) Golding, 2) the likely fact that a major ILB talent upgrade didn't walk through the door this off-season, so, even if you thought our ILB issues were primarily talent-based, I'm not sure we have a fix, and 3) Flood, but he's more of a disappointment than a concern, really - we've won with OL coaches who can't really get the most out of our talent, and I'm guessing he'll be more of that.
Agree re: #2. We keep bitching about Mack Wilson, and with good reason, but I'm not sure how you can feel like we are going to upgrade there. Moses should be a year better, so that is an upgrade, but Mack's replacement is either going to be a well trained but less talented upperclassman (McMillon) or a very talented but raw and learning freshman (Lee).
Also agree re: #3. I guess I'm a little more wait and see, as some people seem to think he was a solid OL guy when that was all he did, but I can't seem to find much that backs that up.

My only real concern about this team is depth at LB (both inside and outside.) We really need to stay healthy there and have some of the young guys like Lee, Kaho, Allen, etc come along.
I'm pumped about our coaching staff and their level of experience. The most interesting thing about fall camp to me will be to see how the OL shakes out. So many talented options for only 5 spots. It's a good problem to have. I'm also looking forward to seeing if our new PK can be a solid and dependable option there.

I've said this in other threads, but I really would like to see Lee and/or Christian Harris (even though he will probably extremely raw) rotate in for McMillon early and fairly often. The offense will be good enough to mitigate any mistakes that these guys will make early on. Having these guys get quality experience early will pay huge dividends later on. Obviously you give McMillon a chance to show what he can do, but IMO it would be very beneficial to rotate often and let the young guys go through their growing pains.
As for OLB, losing Anoma sucks, but I think Chris Allen is going to turn some heads this year. The kid is a freak and I think would have played significant snaps last year prior to his injury. We'll see how he rebounds from that injury, but physically, the kid is a freak.
Regarding Golding, like y'all said, he has to get better from last year. I'm optimistic. I think overall the defense as a whole should be improved from last year. Moses needs to have a huge year. He's got the tools, we'll see if he's developed the instincts and mentality that our other great backers had.

I think it's faulty to assume McMillon is less talented. Personally, I was very impressed with him on Aday. He's a long athlete that really covered ground well, and looked in position and confident playing in space. I'm actually quite excited to see what he can do, because McMillon is all Bama, and the kind of kid I want to see succeed.
