that's where the strength and conditioning program failed them all. They'll be ready this year. I have seen the guys and my goodness what a great change has come over those bodies in Knoxville. I for one was so angry with Kyle when I saw him at our Alcoa camp last year. I'm 40 yrs old and he was looking as bad as me.

Will be interesting to see how coach Wells does things. He has stated the best 5 will play and they aren't worrying about hurt feelings but will a 5th year SR get the nod over a jr or RS soph based on seniority? I'm guessing if it's close they will, I.e. Kendrick starting at RG over Jones.

Pure speculation on my part.

So to me that sounds like a lack of accountability on the coaches part AND a lack of dedication on the players part. I feel like this happens a lot. Especially when I look at the numbers some of these guys put up at the combine.

Not yet. You guys always assume some Fr us better than everybody in front of them. Trey is talented, and will play if he is conditioned and strong enough for college ball...But he will not start anywhere along the OL. If he does, then something really bad, like a massive injury epidemic, has happened..IMO

And some assume seniors will start just because they are seniors. This isn't some diamond in the rough 3* freshman we are talking about. It's the #1 recruit in the country.

You think with an actual S&C coach last year we win another game or two and maybe stay a bit more healthy?

I know what he is. I assume experienced UPPERCLASSMEN who have played very well when not injured, are going to be hard to unseated by a true freshman. Geez..you boys think *s and HS rankings, mean everything don't you?

No not really just a really bad regimen in the weight room that was questioned by many.

I'm in the middle- rankings matter to an extent but they aren't everything. Point is if Trey has it, there's no shame in letting him play/start. Cam Robinson started day 1. I'm pretty sure Chance Warmack and Andre Smith did also for Bama and even more than them.

Why would Alabama, the standard of CFB right now risk playing freshmen on the line? Bc if they're good enough, it doesn't matter how old they are.

I would be worried if we had multiple underclsssmen/Freshmen on the line but if Trey started, it wouldn't bother me.

I just keep wondering why the switch was even made.

But, you live and learn. A part of living is making mistakes. And it looks like Butch learned from it. Which is what I wanted to see.
