Everyone keeps making a big deal about the lack of "returning starters" for Bama on D. Well if you were to ever follow a Bama game outside of O-line and QB it doesnt really matter who starts because they all play a significant amount of reps. Just look at the guy that Kiper and McDouche are all over....Marcell Dareus. He is considered this huge NFL prospect for next year but yet has only "started" maybe the last 2 games if not just the title game. In Sabans system the starter is nothing more than something to give the media for the gameday program. I remember games last year where Ingram would go long stretches without seeing the field.
So everyone that wants to kill Bama about the lack of returning "starters" on D needs to realize that this is a very expierenced Defense coming back with one of the best Defensive coaches in college football. DB is the only position where I could see some potential trouble but the aggresive pass rush will take the heat off of the DB's.
