I agree. Roster at this spot looks awfully thin after Allen and Tomlinson depart this year. There are some bodies there, but they haven't really been able to make it into any type of rotation yet and seeing R Davis get Reps ahead of guys like Smith and Dwight is a sign they are not where they need to be right now and J King hasn't played much at all either as a JUCO.
Personally I think Davis is getting reps ahead of those guys because hes earned them, he didn't play much Saturday but he laid some wood to Msu o line. I hope he gets into the game earlier over the next few weeks.
Totally agree and I've really been concerned that we aren't creating enough depth for next year. This year we had the experience from Allen, Payne, Tomlinson and Hand from rotation last year. We rarely sub out this year.
That, to me, is indeed a very great mystery. Beginning to wonder if it might have something to do with Karl Dunbar (?)
We've all heard that this is a down year for DL. With this in mind, I don't think we should look to pick up mid range guys when difference makers at other positions are available. It just makes next year's DL Freshman and JUCO class that much more a priority. From everything I've heard about Karl Dunbar, it's been nothing but respect and admiration; why would you think he might have something to do with Bama not having a bunch of DL in the fold? If anything, I would imagine that he has not had time to win parents and kids over since he is relatively new. RTR
I'm sure he has earned them over the other guys, but it's also and indication that they have *not* earned the game reps, especially someone like Smith, who has only played in a single game so far this year.
Well we are going to need to pick up somebody or we will have to suit up cheerleaders next year in order to have someone to play on the DL.
Don`t necessarily think so, just wondering. Some coaches are better recruiters than others. I have no idea how good a recruiter he is. Having said that, it`s been my impression that CNS puts a premium on the recruiting abilities of his assistants.
