We return four starters, including an Outland Trophy winner. Where exactly would you like to rank such a offensive line?








I think he was kidding, but it's obvious that Fluker and Jones are potential 1st rounders, Cyrus is going to be a Sophmore (we couldn't give him that medical redshirt, right?) so who knows, but he played like a guy who could potentially develop into a 1st round talent. Warmack and Steen aren't bad, probably won't play in the NFL, at least not via the Draft, but they're great at the college level.

He's going to be good but I get the feeling most Bama fans will feel a little let down with him being the following act behind Ingram then Richardson

Warmack will get drafted in the first 3 rounds.

It doesn't matter if CK got a RS. He's 3 and gone.

Claims like Saban runnin' a back into the ground just proves a mofo ain't watching football, I am 100 % sure than Lacey carried the ball on consecutive sets of downs early in the second half on Nov 5th

I think Chance Warmack will be a late round draft pick.

Great point. I hope he is even in the same league.

He looked better than Ingram and Trent in '10. Looked just as good as Trent last year when healthy. I have high expectations and will be disappointed with anything less than 6.0 ypc if he stays healthy.

I think he can at the very least put up 2008 Glen Coffee numbers. An average RB who ran behind the nation's best OL and gained 1,300 yards in the process. Lacy is far and away better than Coffee was.

Eddie Lacy's expectations



Running behind that beast of an O-line, Eddy will be in the Heisman talks. I guarantee it.

If he stays healthy I agree. I expect 1400 yards or so and around 20 TD's.

Yep on both points.

Warmack was Bama's 2nd best lineman behind BJ and in front front of Vlachos and Fluker. Fluker will get drafted higher because of potential, not because he's a better lineman.

I think his YPC will stay the same, I mean T-Rich as a back up had a lower YPC stat than Lacy as a back up, but we'll see. Lacy just feels like the guy to always have a 6.5+ YPC.

lulz

So.... Lacy > Ingram > Richardson... or is it Lacy > Richardson > Ingram?

In order

- '09 Ingram
- '11 Lacy, Trent
- '09 Trent
- '10 Lacy
- '10 Trent
- '10 Ingram

ETA: Also think highly of Fowler, but not enough carries to include him in the rankings.

I think Eddie will be the starter, but he will not be nearly has clear cut #1 as Richardson and Ingram were. Alabama will have a stable of great backs this year, but I don't think we'll see a lot of separation.

LSU fans get over it... Lacy is better than any of your backs, he didn't want LSU... its okay. Even with turf toe he put up serious numbers... If he can stay healthy he'll put up beastly numbers.

Bama fans who don't think Chance is a top ol are blind that kid is a freakin stud.. he crushes dlmen.

I expect lacy to get the same percentage of the carries as all the other starters should he stsy healthy of course... If he Fowler is gonna hurt someeone.

Lacy 55%
Fowler 25%
Others 20%

Check this out and tell me if he had an offer. It never looked like he would make grades, so LSU never really got in on him. LSU also opted for the more sought after back in Michael Ford. I wouldn't expect you to know that though because you are a fricking idiot.
Most of us wish him well, but if you think he is clear cut better than anything LSU has, like Trent obviously was, you need to actually start watching football.

He will suffer with that toe injury. No running, dude will balloon up. What is it with these toe injuries with Bama backs.
