BOL Round Table

I really hope Dee can bounce back, he is someone who really wants to be a big part of this team. Drake was very impressive last year in mop up duty. In my opinion, the biggest thing that kept him off the field was the success of Lacy and Yeldon and comfort level the staff had with them. It's also not all about running and catching the ball either. A big part is pass protection. I saw Dee sacrifice himself on one play to keep a defender off McCarron. That's the kind of effort I believe the coaches look for from every player.

Deepest and most talented group ever Trevor? I think this group has at least 5 guys who will play in the league and could have up to 8.

Ditto really hope Dee can come back and contribute. His enthusiasm on special teams and in spot duty was impressive last year. Kid is a team first player.

I thought Drake looked very good on his rushes in 2012. I must admit I was surprised that he didn't get more reps as the season wore on, especially the fourth quarter of the *U game & the NCG. But hey, what do I know. It would be great for him to firmly grasp a spot in the rotation for 2013. Come on Kenyan we all know you have the tools, we've seem them in play.......... If Hart will trust his knees, his speed will be something Bama hasn't seen at RB since #37 Shaun. Don't get me wrong at all, Bama's RB's have had all the speed they have needed but Dee is that really true break away stuff. He wasn't a 5 star for nothing. I hope he can get back to his game.

Boyz, let us know if you hear more on this. Thanks.

I had heard rumors that he may not be ready this year but hadn't heard that he might have to give up football entirely. I saw his injury happen against Ole Miss and observed him on the sidelines afterwards and it didn't seem like the catastrophic type injury (a-la Marcus Lattimore) that a surgery and rehab wouldn't fix right up.

Not true. His high school FB coach (Rodney Wells) keeps in touch with him. Rodney informed me that Dee is progressing quite well, has a great attitude and is looking forward to having a big year!

Let's not forget about Jalston Fowler! When healthy, he gives our offense even more options and explosive plays! The talent available is just stupid. Great times! Roll Tide!
