Title: ***2012 Post-Spring Top 25*** Post by: #1Tidefan on May 04, 2012, 02:14:11 AM Quote Since 2008, the most amazing part of any Alabama game has been looking at the players who have clean uniforms after the clock strikes zero. Even the guys who didn't play a down look like future NFL players. That kind of depth -- Big Ten fans, insert your oversigning cracks here -- allows the Crimson Tide to lose the kind of talent they lost from the 2011 national title team and still look like one of the best teams in the nation. The Tide also have done a good job of getting inexperienced players snaps so they aren't shocked when they become starters. For example, cornerback Dee Milliner played in nickel situations last year. This year, he'll probably be on the field for every down that matters. Meanwhile, linebacker Trey DePriest appeared in 13 games as a freshman while backing up Hightower, the first-rounder DePriest will likely replace. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/andy_staples/05/03/post-spring-top-25/index.html?xid=cnnbin#tyntHFL Title: Re: ***2012 Post-Spring Top 25*** Post by: Chechem on May 04, 2012, 04:13:46 AM Good review of the preseason.

RTR Exactly. I like where we are right now...the momentum will build leading up to 11/3... Title: Re: ***2012 Post-Spring Top 25*** Post by: Old Tider on May 05, 2012, 05:08:26 PM API at 22. Being an also-run is a good year for them.
