So you think Alabama's going to have a good offensive line this year? So does CBS Sports.

CBS' staff released its 2012 preseason All-America team today and three-fifths of the first-team offensive line plays in Tuscaloosa: center Barrett Jones, tackle D.J. Fluker and guard Chance Warmack.

Two other Crimson Tide players were named to the second team: defensive lineman Jesse Williams and safety Robert Lester.

It's about time someone outside the SEC recognized these guys, but Lattimore as First Team RB? You're kidding, right. Plus, no Saban defensive player on the First Team. Wow. Good article.

They are going on the wow factor and he is now healthy. I think EL is a better running back, but with all the talent we have at that position, he won't get the carries to beat Lattimore's numbers. Look for CBS apologize for not including more Bama players by year's end. (I know, they won't really apologize)

CBS is very pro SEC. CBS has all their college football eggs in the SEC basket.

You think they're trying to pump up Lattimore for the Heisman and higher ratings, cause this makes no sense.

Does Spurrier own any stock in CBS? I was just guessing, so I don't know. Either way I think I could have picked a better RB out of the SEC. Not just ours but what about Ware from LSU? We now have TA&M and Mizz to consider. RTR!

Lattimore is not a bad choice in my opinion.  We will see how the season plays out, but if he stays healthy he will probably put up some big numbers for SC and will account for most all of their offense.

Before he got hurt, he was averaging 5.0 yards a carry, not exactly All American stats. Lacy will average 5.7 to 6.3 a carry if he stays healthy. Plus, Lattimore carries the ball so much, he will probably be injured again. He isn't built to carry the ball 35 times a game.
