The players who spoke to the media said Geno and Trey had to stand in front of the team and apologize for the reasons behind their suspensions.

That's expected it. All a part of the process. Standing up and owning up to your mistakes.
I read a post forwarded to me from a suppossed trusted insider. The OL report was not good and there was one player singled out that I had high hopes for but it was one day and time to get better.
Could our defense actually be better than we've heard, at least when it comes to the boys upfront. Nothing helps a secondary more than a great front 7!
I dont think its a matter of our defense not being good, more that the media isnt aware of the talent thats replacing our lost starters...
Due to the talent level of the players coming in as starters, and the game experience they've had as subs, we should be just as good, if not better, than last year in my opinion...
I guess I'm just anxious. I thought our defense would be better than last year's. is it possible though that it'll approach 2011 though? That's the question.
The fact that we are shifting Greene to TE suggests to me that we are going to need help on the right side blocking and that none of our current TEs are on the level of Williams in providing that help. I also wonder with CMC being the new position coach are the techniques being taught the same, etc. I am hoping that a change in techniques has not resulted in our loss of power on the line.
Well, we are playing our offense vs. our defense...... and I don't think we'll see a better overall unit on either side.
Look at what Saban said post-scrimmage on Saturday. He talked in circles about the line play. He described the OL as "soft" but said the the DL "had no push." If the OL is soft, the Dl is going ot get a push and vice-versa. It's natural.
Or if it's 1's vs 2's, both could be true. I think the O-Line will be fine, it's just going to take a few games for the light-bulb to come on.
I think he was using the "carrot" early on to pump the Oline up a bit re: spring/early summer practices. Now, closer to the season opener, he is using the "whip".
Here's the bottom line: we lost Warmack and Fluker. Two of the best OL we've ever had. Two top 12 picks in the NFL draft. Of course, there was going to be a drop off.
Those guys were maulers in the run game. It showed up on film. It showed up with the number of defenders flat on their backs.
Do Arie K and Shep have to do the same thing? Heck no. They may be less 'physically dominant' but they can still use good technique to open holes.
So, is there less 'push'? Probably so. Can we still have a great offense? You better believe it.
