Gio Bernard, Eddie Lacy and DJ Fluker going pro

[ArrogantBAMAFan]

Is Lacy going pro or is Saban kicking him out to make room for Yeldon and Fowler?

I think Lacy saw the writing on the wall that he could very well lose his starting position next year and got out while the getting was good.

I could go along with that. He's good but we are neck deep in > than capable RBs and have new ones on the way.

Yeldon might break records next season with Lacy out of the way.

It's gonna be fun to watch.

The probable loss of the majority of his oline didn't hurt either, I imagine.

That is more of a concern. They should still be stout though.

Yea....but it would still be a serious concern if I were a starting RB determining whether or not I wanted to come back. Some people thought VT's David Wilson should have stayed last year even though we were losing 3 1/2 starting lineman. Well he left, got picked in the 1st round, and our run-blocking has been the worst in probably 10+ years this year. NOt saying Bama will be in the same position next year, but you really never know until ya see em' in action.

Our only chance next year is yalls O Line having a rough first outing since our D Line is our strength and very deep.

It is possible, we're losing alot of talent and if the new guys don't jell well it could be a problem. The backups did get alot of playing time this season so I feel decent about it but like you said, you never know until they're out there in a big game situation.

I always thought Fluker looked like he had down syndrome

He's no Sheldon Williams
