These preseaon assumptions are about to make me sick.  It seems that most of what is put up has nothing to do with players that have significant playing time while not being full time starters.  Who I talk of, is the Alabama veterans on defense that are not mentioned in the starter or veteran realm.  Yeah, look at any team, uhhh.... everyone lost someone.   We are by far the most balanced offense coming into this season... cough... Alabama.  This only on the west.  But,  beware the factor of established veterans at every position on the defense.  Saban has recruited people that should hold up.   The linebackers have been solid and there are many other areas that have shown light.  So, to say that we will do only this or that; is like saying we didn't recruit anyone this season.  Look at how many freshman play everywhere.  I think some faith in this class is in order and some people need to think twice about selling this ALABAMA team short.

Roll Tide,

PS.

The only reason I put "Only in the West," is for concern that some under achiever might feel offended.
