This will be the best segment of the series. We lose all of our secondary this season besides Mark Barron. Kareem Jackson, Javier Arenas, Marquis Johnson, and Justin Woodall. The first three were all drafted. They will be a big loss. Mark Barron will be an all-American this year. He was one one of the top defensive backs in the conference last year with seven interceptions. He also broke up a lot of passes. He is also a good tackler. Robby green was projected to start this year, but could be suspended for up to a calendar year. Saban commented that it would be premature to talk about the situation before due process. Which scares me. Because due process usually means due process of law, and unless your player is joining the military, law is probably not a good thing for his name to be around. Battling for his spot will be Robert Lester, who led the spring scrimmage game in tackles with eight. Also battling for the position will be Rod woodson. Two words: heat seeker. He flies to the ball and knocks heads off. If you want to better visualize what I’m saying, you can find his highlights on YouTube under rod woodson olive branch. Dre Kirkpatrick will be great as a starter for two reasons. 1) He has the talent and effort to make plays on the ball. 2) He brings a Javy-like personality to the game. Just look up his signing day video. B.J Scott has made the transition from receiver to cornerback. He has done well in practice and is surprisingly battling Kirkpatrick for the number one cornerback spot. We also will have great depth at cornerback in a couple of years with John Fulton and Demarcus Milliner My next segment will be on the tight ends.
