    ? For the bama fans do you think teams are going to try to get to AJ cuz they know bama doesn't have much behind him. Yes the Oline is going to rival as one of the best in the nation but they are going to have to protect him to the whistle on every single play. I had it done to me before continuing a play fake and the back side DE or OLB ear holes me. Although its not right and shouldn't happen it is and it will. I think that is going to be the biggest challenge for Bama is protecting AJ and keeping them healthy cuz he is the glue in that team. this is one issue I think everyone is avoiding but tell me what happens if AJ gets injured? Not being a conspiracy theorist just looking at the whole situation.

    I have asked this question on another board but nothing.

    Depth at QB is a concern. I dont see teams going out of their way to hurt him.

    Formula to beat us has always been:
    1. Stop our run game
    2. Spread us out on D
    3. Have a successful run game

    Now of course it sounds simple but stopping our run and being able to run us has always been difficult this year.

    Losing Trent sucks but the OL is gonna still pave the way for Eddie Lacy who will be quite effective as long as he stays healthy. Add in TJ Yeldon and teams will have to be honest to control our run game and AJ's ability to pass.

    This offense has a chance to be one of the most explosive in not just Nick Saban's career but maybe Alabama's history. Of course this all depends on keeping AJ healthy

    Do you not think Michigan will try cheap shots in that first game? Or any other team for that case

    Do you think teams last season didn't try cheap shots? He survived then and has an o-line this year just as good.

    Ely is the definition of a game manager. Looked alright in spring. Heard hes been a little more consistent this fall

    Saban said Morris looked like a freshman and acted like one as well.

    The battle for backup should go to Ely based strictly on knowledge of the playbook. He'll probably get reps whenever we have blowout games.

    I, however, think Morris has more upside and at first I didn't like us taking us commitment just like I don't like taking McLeods but Morris has grown on me. The ginger has not

    Never understood Black's ranking last year, tbh. Small, diminutive slot guy who is not overly elusive or fast. Amari Cooper, Eddie Williams and Cyrus Jones on the other hand, are monsters.

    I had the same issue. I never thought Black had Elite skills, a good year or two in S&C he could be SEC ready, but not now. Amari Copper is the stuffs though

    Ich - Do you think Sims would be in the rotation? We have heard he was in the mix, and would be having formation for him. But we have been down that road before, and I just dont see him ever throwing a pass at Alabama, or even going to a wildcat with him either.

    I see him right now as maybe an emergency QB.

    We gotta do something with the kid. Way too dynamic to keep on the bench.

    Wildcat is the only thing I can think of. We rarely used it last year but with our OL you gotta believe it's gonna make a comeback.

    FWIW I have reason to believe Yeldon is ahead of Hart on the depth chart.

    His ability could be why we are seeing Fowler at H Back recently

    To barn fans who have lost 3 of the last 4 to him and had their only national title in the past 50 years sandwiched between two Bama titles, I'm sure he is.

    The whole sandwiched thing isn't really a big deal... we didn't give a fook last year.

    I will never understand why Bama fans will marginalize the accomplishment of winning a national title. The insecurity is uncanny.
