Title: "Damion Square wants to take a leadership role" Post by: Chechem on July 22, 2012, 07:17:46 AM http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1387523
Quote In 2011, Damion Square was part of a defensive line unit, led by Nick Gentry and Josh Chapman, that led not only the Southeastern Conference, but the NCAA in rushing defense, with opponents averaging a paltry 72.2 yards a game. Square, entering his senior season, is looking to step into more of a leadership role, not just for the defensive line, but the entire defense. "I'm expecting to have a big year," Square said. "I'm expecting to be the best 92 that I can be for Alabama, and whatever that may take." ...

The 2010 was too young, for the most part, for leaders to emerge on "D". I think we'll see some strong leadership among the players this year.

I agree, but remember that injuries were a major part of the 2010 results. Many of the top players, including Ingram, Julio, and TR were injured and missed games. The D lost a pile of DBs before the season started. We need to have injury luck in 2012.

Yep, graduation and early departures, but as you so eloquently put it the other day, J, Bama doesn't rebuild, they reload. :clap: Title: Re: "Damion Square wants to take a leadership role" Post by: pmull on July 22, 2012, 08:22:17 AM Damion Square and the upperclassmen on this years team was on the 2010 team. That experience will motivate them to work hark and make sure it does not happen again.
As Chech said injuries also hurt us in 2010. |
