Damn it Scoop how many times are we going to mention big DJ?

I'm sure he'll be good or maybe even very good, but he won't be as good as Andre. We have had Samuels and Smith, I think our luck with great OLinemen has to run out.

I think he will be just as good as Andre. I can tell you are young and don't really know waht BAMA football is all about once it gets cranked up but you are about to see it in full swing. Sit back and enjoy being a BAMA fan, these are good times bro.

He'll have growing pains. He might not even start next year. Experience means a lot more for linemen than it does for skill players.

I'm not entirely sure if you are sarcastic or not. If you aren't, I'm going to have to call you a retard.

Sure, we get a lot of respect in polls and the media because we are Alabama. But does that mean anything? No. Just because someone chooses to play for us, will he be great? No.

Ole Miss would have been in Bama's position if We hadn't been hurt early in the year.

do you think he will actually get a lot of playing time as a freshman scoop?

scoop you used to seem pretty level headed for a Bama poster, but God you are no better than the rest

Shreve,

You need to send me your address and I need to mail you an emergency IV Kool-Ade dose pack. Next, after the infusion, you need to buy the book, "Bear". I will send you some homework assignments during the week to bring you back up to speed. Alabama football right now is like your first erection, Stand back boys I don't know how big this thing is going to get.

Maybe. We have a JUCO transfer, Carpenter, that has signed his letter of intent to come fill Andre's place in the line next year so who knows what will happen.

Andre started as a true freshmen but we had zero depth at that time. It is hard to come into the SEC and start as a freshmen on the O-line. He kind of reminds me of big Herm with respect to his size.

So you are saying y'all would have lost to Florida instead of winning.

In addition, we will get either Morgan Moses or Bobby Massie both of whom are the same size as Fluker.

I'm just trying to remind Scoop that Ole Miss was a Greg Hardy and a Peria Jerry away from being Bama this year. He needs to stop thinking that Bama is going to roll in the west next year with no competition. The west as a whole will be better next year, and Bama is not likely going to be better than they were.

Maybe, but we probably wouldn't have lost to Wake, South Carolina, and Bama.

I like Hardy, is he leaving? I think the wext will derfinitely be better but I think we will be better also. Our defense next year will be better for sure and our offense will be about the same as it was this year unless McElroy and Star surprise us.

Maybe, He hasn't decided yet. He's not likely to be drafted high because he got attitude problems when he got hurt, and couldn't get into the starting job because Kentrell Lockett was playing so well. He had 8.5 sacks in 8 games this year. He made 0 starts.

I agree

I think McElroy/Star is more likely to be not as good of a QB than JPW than be better. Likely they'll be as good. There is no way that they will play as smart of football as JPW played this year. I've got a feeling those extra turnovers are going to cost Bama a game or two next year.

Andre Smith Started as a Freshman...So will Fluker he's Good. Like Scoop said Mc Elroy (Or whoever) will have enough time to unload the throw.
