Any guesses as to how long before the LB unit WITH Prince will be playing like a unit?

I have to figure that it will take Hall a few weeks before he shakes off the dust from being shelved for so long...not the conditioning part, but the nose for the ball and the game speed angle.

well he suspended for the first 3 games (at least) which means no Prince for at least Clemson (that hurts), Tulane, & Western Kentucky. IF he stays straight and doesnt get into any trouble, etc. then he'll be back by the Arkansas game. By that time he should have all the rust he has off and man having him and Rolando McClain together is going to be a HUGE plus for us. at least imo, thats one of the best 1-2 LB punches in the nation.

Kudzu.

I caught that on the radio right after the press conference yesterday. That was basically all that was said.

The thing is RJ, the "input" you speak of is still there and it's going to remain. Placing it on Pendry doesn't include Cignetti, Burns, Williams or Saban. Our game plan is a collective game plan with everyone having a voice. The person in Applewhite's ear last season was Saban. That's who shook him up, and rightfully so.

Don't get me wrong, Applewhite had his problems with Pendry. But, it was Pendry following what he knew Saban wanted to do and Applewhite wanting to do something else.

I get the distinct impression Saban began thinking of a change in Applewhite's responsibilities (if not downright continued employment) last year in the Tennessee game when we had to call a time-out to avoid a delay-of-game penalty when we could not break the huddle in time coming off a first time-out.

Saban seemed to really lose all confidence in Applewhite at that point.
