Miles seems to be a big proponent of building depth by playing inexperienced guys once a game is in hand (assuming our first string guys are to the point they need to be). LSU has very talented guys waiting in the wings, but what makes me feel better is seeing them get playing time this season.

which games have we had in hand that leads you to believe this?

we mass sub on defense because of the play-- nickel or pass coverage plays vs a run-situation.

Well maybe that's the reason I'm seeing it, but I see a bunch of younger guys getting valuable time especially on the defensive side of the ball. Considering it's inconsistencies, I think he's done a good job of getting younger guys in the game for offense as well. Some of it is just because of injuries, but I think Miles also sees the need to get playing time to the 2nd & 3rd string guys that will have to step up next season. It seems to be every game we have a comfortable lead in to me (not counting the half time score of Tennessee game...)

we're subbing more guys because we have great depth on the dline not because of miles' building depth by playing them. dorsey/favorite, etc. are good enough to start anywhere. this is because nick recruited almost better than anyone and miles/dunbar are doing a good job keeping them rested.

It's more than a safe assumption to state that Bama's '06 team will not be as good as this year's team.

It's also safe to say that Bama is about to find out just how good they reall are. Back-to-back losses to LSU and Auburn should bring the bandwagon party to a screeching halt. Watch and learn........ :hihi:

Do you think Auburn will get the credit it deserves if this scenario plays out? I don't. I think people will say that Bama didn't have their head in the game or some such thing...

I think we will be OK at LB. Ali Highsmith is on his way to being one of the best in the SEC, and I here good things about this freshman Beckwith (I think that's his name)

still not totally sold on Ali. Sure he did great agaisnt fla but does that mean he is going to the #1 lb for LSU next year? He needs to be more consistant and he needs to work on fighting off blocks. His game at lb is more about speed, which is fine, but he needs to make some plays through shedding lineman.

he's your typical 'Cane LB....speed rush guy and big playmaker and is being utilized as such.

Another case of an opposing fan not knowing what he's talking about. So you checked out our list of seniors did you? Well then I'm guessing you took no time in checking out their backups or the underclassmen? You assume since we lose a lot of seniors that we are going to have a major drop off next year, well it's not going to happen. Our running game will be the best in the SEC next year with Darby coming back and with last year's top recruit, Mike Ford, coming in from JC...not to mention Coffee, Johns, and Upchurch who is redshirted this year. At QB will be either JP Wilson or Jimmy Barnes (Army All-American last year). Inexperience will play a role but so will a healthy Prothro, DJ Hall, Keith Brown, Zeke Knight and one more guy. His name is Nikita Stover, he was our #1 recruit two years ago and will be back next year at WR from JC. He's outstanding, was supposed to be the best WR we had, we'll see if that holds true. The O-line will be much improved, they're young this year and are getting better already. We already have two 4 star commits this year with Andre Smith, the #2 overall prospect in the nation, close to signing with the Tide. Tim Castille returns at FB. As for the defense, a lot of seniors will leave, it's true. However, our defensive line will return Gilberry, Britt, and Greenwood who is a true freshman and is playing great. Lorenzo Washington and Brandon Fanney will most likely start as they returned from JC this year but haven't seen the field much because the D-line is already so good. We lose Demeco and Roach at LB, that will be the place we're hit the hardest. We return our other LB in Juwan Simpson who has NFL talent and we have more than capable backups who have played great in back up roles this season. The secondary will be fine with Castille, Robinson, Dukes returning. Our secondary commits from last year ranked in the top 5 in the country and are already challenging the starters for playing time this year. By the way, our secondary is one of the best in the nation. So basically you just said we'd have a drop off because we lose seniors, you had no idea who we returned and who we have at backup positions. By the way, probation problems are just now ending, not beginning. We signed a full class last year and our roster is getting closer to full strength every year. Probation hurt us the last 2 years and even some this year with depth, but now it's over. We have more depth now than we've had in a few years and we're only getting stronger. Nice try though. :thumb:
