Who will be our Right Tackle TL's freshman year?? BJ Stabler is a senior this year.

Mike Johnson....who is a sophomore and had the job as of the end of spring.

 

[biglittlelittle]

I thought M. Davis and BJ Stabler controlled the right side at the end of spring.

I hope we don't go for the 340+ lb. OT that are starting to pop up. At 6'7", I think that 310-315 is a good weight for Love. I hope Big Andre slims down a little bit if he is over 340 as some reports say.

I think A Smith is unable to get to that weight and that 325-330 is his ideal playing weight. He honestly is just a freak athletically speaking, but I think those 340#ers in the near future are going to find themselves quickly getting down to 320 and parking themselves in the middle of our D-line playing NG.

I gotta tell ya I sure am glad I was wrong again!!! Whew!!

 

[JH-ATL]

Guys, when I went through high school in Alabama, my high school finished
2nd in the state my junior year, and Jerry M...... was our biggest OL, one of my best friends, and protector of my body, 190 lb linebacker/fullback when I got to run the ball, and he weighed 250 lbs and at the time, was considered very big, actually very large.

Today we see LB's approaching that weight............340 for Andre is just fine if he is "pancaking, pass blocking & run blocking carrying that weight.........do not try to compare it to your own time zone.......these young men are living in their own time zone/time...........they are bigger/stronger than were/are...........learn to live with it!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy the COMBAT!!!!!!!!!!

[JH-ATL]

Talk about kick A%^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta get tickets.........NOW..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, who was recruiting Love? Was it Coach Steele?

He honestly is just a freak athletically speaking, but I think those 340#ers in the near future are going to find themselves quickly getting down to 320 and parking themselves in the middle of our D-line playing NG.

I thought AS was over 340. 325 isn't that bad of a playing weight for him. Since Love is taller, maybe he could play 325-330 as well, even though that'd be a lot of weight he has to put on. Was Andre at 310-315 when he arrived on campus last year? I just don't like seeing these OL getting 340+ mainly for health reasons (all that weight + the physical nature of the sport, it amazes me that the older (retired NFL) don't have more knee/ lower extremity problems).

 

[biglittlelittle]

I think A Smith was more like 348 when he reported last fall. Don't get me wrong he still has a way to go to get 325. I think in the spring he was more like 335, but I tihnk the 4th quarter program made it a better 335 than where he ended up at the end of last season.

Personally I'll take Andre Smith at 348 and at 335.

He is just such a freak athlete. Notice how CNS said after the spring that he would be an ideal NG.

 

[beatthemtigers]

I think our running backs over the next 3-4 years will be very happy with the line we're putting together.

i bet brodie is wishing he had an o line like were producing.

Didn't he slim down during the spring? Surely the trainers haven't let him go this summer.

After the loss of Shields and Roaf, Brodie may not notice much difference between his current line and the one he had in 2005.

 

[rgw]

I think Love will probably redshirt in 2008. This gives us a lot of flexibility at LT in 09. If AS leaves after 08 (his first year of draft eligibility), Love could play LT. If not, he could play opposite of Smith at RT.

Saban, Alabama get top lineman

The 6-foot-7, 285-pound Love is Alabama's 11th commitment in the 2008 recruiting class. He chose Alabama over Georgia, Florida, Florida State and Oklahoma.

"In my heart, it was nothing other than Alabama and it was that way the whole time," Love told BamaOnline.com. "The new staff has built a lot of excitement around the program."

LOL! (Sadly)
