Gun to my head, Allen would probably be my all time favorite defensive player at the capstone. He, along with the other grown men across our defensive front, has brought the type of sack/pressure generating line that I hadn't seen in my generation of Alabama football. I'll always appreciate his business like demeanor and the fact that he came back for his senior year to lead this group

One of my favorites as well.
I like the fact that he and the defense feel embarrassed by last year's defensive performance and want a shot at redemption. Think about that for a second. They won a national championship and want a shot at redemption.

I don't think the media and esp. the pro Clemson talking heads are even aware of how Allen and our defense is looking forward to dominating Watson and his tigers come January 9th. everyone is talking about the match ups and such, but the real underlying theme for Bama fans is watching our defense go to town!!

and we have to be pretty confident that there is someone else waiting in the wings.

I dunno - I'm sure there are some super talented guys, but the raw nastiness that Ashawn and Allen bring to the game isn't something that can be coached. I'd put Anderson into the same category. They just play ....ed off, like the guys across the LOS did something unspeakable to their sisters and this play, right now, is the only chance to ever settle the score.
