Thanks for sharing, I love Javier's take on things. Will never forget his comment regarding Moreno, you seen any of my highlights...

Losing Cody will no doubt effect us but chapman is a very good player. A lot of teams would love to have him.

I'd be just as scared seeing Chapman across the line as I would Cody. Sure Cody is HUGE, but Chapman, he's HUGE muscular. lol both of them would put a hurtin on people

I have not seen that much of a drop off in play when Chapman plays. I am more concerned about who backs him up. Will there be much of a fall off in performance. There is where lack of depth and experience could hurt us. Chapman will do great!

Does anyone remember Robert Stewart? He was the senior NT back in 1991 and reminds me alot of Chapman. He was also the "Strongest Man on the Team" with similar bench/squat stats. Bama played the 3-4 back then too and Stewart required a double team that allowed our LB's like Hall, London and Rogers wreak havoc.

Overall, I think that line was a little better because it had a couple of All SEC Ends that Im sure you remember.

Man that was my senior year in High School.

ROLL TIDE!!!!

He wrestles with Cody for the fun of it. We'll be ok.

Funny you mention that year...I was thinking about that line over the weekend.

John Sullins, remember him? He was the LB that stood out that year to me...led the team in tackles if I recall correctly.

In the UGA game that year Sullins, London, Stewart, London and Rogers just tore up their offense....accounted for close to 50 tackles in that game.

That was also the year Teague and Langham made their names household with their pass coverage...10-11 INT's between the two.

One thing you have to consider/remember about that team. Even though both teams were 3-4 sets, Stallings defense counted on his DL getting a lot of pressure on the QB where Saban looks for more of that from his LB'ing corps. Over half of the sacks that year came from Copeland, Curry and Stewart.

Javier Arenas has to be one of my favorite personalities of recent memory. He is hilarious! If football doesn't work out he could always do stand up.

He definitely has a lively personality. I know the reporters look forward to him being made available after practices and games. He isn't going to give cookie cutter quotes.

I sure do remember him. A true "sideline-to-sideline" type LB. Homey could HIT too.

That was the best College defense ('91-'92) I know of. All stars on the Line, LB and DB. They had 1 bad game in 2 years. Shut everyone else down. Only one close to it is the LSU '03 team.

Yeah that is why I rate them as a better line. The Ends were so fast on the pass rush they almost never had to blitz to get pressure. The LB's played the lanes and zones. I know Saban wants to "feature" the LB's but I really wish our ends could get more pressure/sacks. It seems we have to blitz alot to get any real pressure like we did on Ole Miss' last drive Saturday. I would like to see Bama get consistent pressure/sacks with 4-5 guys. That '91-'92 team could get pressure with 3!
