Seniors (Ingram, Jones, Dareus) staying at Bama?

Unfortunately, I think this is true.

Just watch, Ingram will probably win rookie of the year next year. That should really piss you off. I know it did me. If Jamal had played as great his last year in college as his first year in the NFL we probably could have not been beaten. Think about all those chances Ingram had to get first downs this year ( 2nd half of the iron bowl for instance). He did not play anywhere near his ability. This, when added to Richardson bulking up to the point he is too stiff, took away Bamas most effective weapon. The ability to run the ball down anyones throat. IMO if Ingram had ran with the same determination as last year you guys would be playing for the NC again. Sucks don't it?

All of this isn't entirely true. Our O-Line regressed severely this season. We had more success running to the outside than between the tackles, and road-grading running was our bread and butter last year. Ingram didn't play to his abilities, but our offensive line was a major factor in his, and Richardson's, lack of production.

I watched several Bama games this year and last. You will probably be amazed at how much better it seems your OL is blocking when Ingram moves on. He was looking for a place to fall down and not get hurt every time the hole was plugged. Last year it didn't matter, if he met someone in the hole he usually ran him/them over. You guys need to get Richardson off the roids. Dude is stiffer than a 16 year old at mardi gras.
