Again IMHO, the 2013 season will be the coaching staffs toughest test yet.
36869, you are spot on. Has been said recently on this board, the young men on defense belong to Todd Grantham. He has had a free hand selecting the players he wanted for his attacking style of the 3/4 defense.
I, for one will not accept the two nose guards leaving and point to that for any problems we "might" have this season. Players come and go from all schools. All we have to do is look at the National Champions and what they accomplished after losing almost the entirety of their defense prior to 2012 Season. Someome did some serious coaching in Tuscaloosa, but that coaching started the day the young men reported for duty. Saban's way.
