Though we have a new OC coming in and may see some small change, about the only position of concern to me on O may be Hb. I'm sure vogler will do well but it seems to me that Fowler might would be a good candidate there. He's too good to keep off the field IMO and will be limited in carries with lacy, hart, Simms and yeldon.

Fowler might not be tall enough to fill the HB position.....but I like the idea

 

[Nolan]

It's going to be a young but tested team. Experience at the QB position and offensive line is priceless. I don't think the defense will be as raw as some think.. Got some good'uns coming back at LB and DL. The secondary will be fascinating to watch develop.

 

[Nolan]

Oh, and is there really much doubt Lacey is poised to have a huge season?

If you really want to get giddy over how well we may do next year,,,, work up a two-deep!

 

[Alabama Larry in Ky]

This a great thread, but any red shirts that could help? Lets keep this one going, I'd love a repeat in the BCSNCG.

 

[CoolBreeze]

We are going to have to find a place for Blake Sims somewhere. He may have to be moved to wideout to make an impact. And also Belue...is he not on campus today? He would definitely make an impact in the return game not to mention DB.:BigA:

 

[Power Eye]

I've seen everyone penciling in Jones at center next season and that may very well be where he plays. However, if I'm Barrett Jones and I am coming back for my senior year after passing up an opportunity to turn pro, I don't know if center is where I want to be to improve my draft stock.

NFL feedback said center was his best spot

The Pouncey twins from Florida a few years played Center and both were pretty high draft picks.

 

[Mystical]

I just think Fulton should be in the mix he has been coached by the man for 3 years.

i agree. Experience goes a long ways in Coach Sabans defense. Just take a look at our secondary the past 2 seasons.

 

[TidePrice]

Way to Early Starter Projections???

used this post to bump this big thread

 

[TiderJack]

Agreed and and I think this was the main reason he came back was to get experience at center. The Pouncey brothers were both 1st round picks at center.

A coworker and I were drawing up a two deep yesterday at work. It is unreal to look at the talent spread at 2 and even 3 deep across the roster. We can almost field two dominant teams.

 

[Halovest]

I am thinking that Ragland and Collins will see a lot of playing time on defense.
But from what I have seen and read Black and Sylve should be on the field a lot.
Serious gamebreakers

 

[JustJim]

There are some good lists in this thread.

But the coaches will not be able to keep LaMichael Fanning off the field next year. This guy is special.

I've heard the same and think he'll get a lot of valuable time in the rotation, much like Marcell Dareus did his 2nd year.
