Leaders are missing. Biggest guys on the team need to be the enforcers. Not sure we have that.This reminds me of Ryan Anderson. May be that mean streak is what's missing from our defense this year.

I'm reminded of the Missouri DL who, upon entering their first year in the SEC, said we won't be hard because we play, in his words, "Old man football."
Didn't turn out well in either the short or long term. I was in Noah's flood in Columbia when Eddie Lacy ran 75 yards on the first play of the game.
"Old man football," indeed.
Seems I saw where there`s an all players only meeting ( Defense ) today? I want to say that it`s being instigated by SDH (?). That`s an opportunity for leaders to step up.Leaders are missing. Biggest guys on the team need to be the enforcers. Not sure we have that.

FIFY.I expect us to win this one easily in the end. If we can't curb stomp Vandy then we have bigger problems than any of us think.
If that happens, Saban be like, " I got them doctor bills for you fam."Then again, Mr. Sassy Pants might have ticked the players off so much with his comments that they come out and put their foot on Vandy's neck in the first quarter.
Saw that as well, and yes, SDH says it's time for a "Come-to-Jesus" meeting...Seems I saw where there`s an all players only meeting ( Defense ) today? I want to say that it`s being instigated by SDH (?). That`s an opportunity for leaders to step up.
having 5 linebackers missing might also have something to do with it. I figure SDH will do his best to lead the team but that is a ton of skill and experience to replace in a short time period, especially on a defense that was already replacing a significant number from last year's front 7.Leaders are missing
No question we need as many LB`s back as we can get. I would strongly suspect, and certainly hope, that the guys coming back have a real sense of urgency to get up to speed. Wouldn`t surprise me to see RE at OLB.having 5 linebackers missing might also have something to do with it.

I do try to think what this would have been like last year with the same injuries at the same spots: No Anderson or Evans to back him up at SAM; No Tim Williams at Jack; No Reuben Foster at Will; and no Keith Holcombe last year.
They may have a come to Jesus moment but I think there will still be some significant growing pains.
Will these little teams never learn not to tug on super mans cape?

Ralph Webb is a dang good RB, too.
We might beat the mess out of them, but I don't expect a whipping like some.

Dadgum..That's a great block NFL Scouts has to be drooling over..You can see the NFL type mentality & technique Coach Daboll has brought to offense..Our backup LG got a nice block on Mr. Sassy Pants...
