Re: Fluker going pro.

He's doing the right thing. Best of luck to him and thanks for being rock-solid on the OL these past 3 years. I hope he has a great pro career.

Re: Fluker going pro.

This makes me incredibly sad. This guy has not only been a great individual performer, but one of the biggest emotional leaders for Alabama the past 3 years. Watch his reaction after any nice run or big play, this guy bleeds Crimson and White.

Best of luck! Roll Tide!

Re: Fluker going pro.

Congrats to DJ. He was a huge part of our success the last two years and will be missed. As the OP stated, we are going to need some leaders emerge on the OL. Steen and Cyrus will step up.
Congrats to you, BIG MAN !! Would have loved to have had you around for one more year, but go get `em !!!

Re: Fluker going pro.

Not only did you lose your 3 best O-Linemen, you lost their leadership. They were the ones getting everyone else fired up. Need someone on the O-Line to step into that role next year.
I always felt that the OL was the hardest task for next year...

I will never forget in the second half of the SECCG him getting all over the OL going back to the huddle. We commence to steam roll UGA's defense via the rush after that.

Re: Fluker going pro.

Good Luck DJ and thanks for all of your dedication and hard work. One thing's for sure, the guys we have stepping into their new slots have had great people to learn from. Our line play has been outstanding the last few years and I expect that it will continue. RTR.

Re: Fluker going pro.

Understandable and a good move for the young man. I wish him the best and thank him for his service to the Crimson Tide.

Now, my single biggest worry about next season is the offensive line and this didn't help me feel any better.

T'was the turning point of the game. Congratulations and good luck, Big Man, be wise with all that money you will make and thanks for the memories.

Cyrus is the most talented after Warmack - he's returning. The leadership is gone, as you say, but will likely be replaced adequately.
