I just wanted to discuss with dD some of that posters previous statements on our freshmen

Define "significant playing time" in actual minutes played. Just off the top of my head it was Ingram and Julio Jones who played significant minutes. That's 2 freshmen. Not sure how long Hightower played.

I think we had anywhere from 11 -14 freshmen see playing time, and Hightower saw quite a bit of playing time

Once again, please define "significant playing time." Playing on special teams for kickoffs wouldn't qualify in my opinion.

to me playing 1 down for Bama would be significant time.....but to answer your guestion: if they continue to play and contribute each game that should do it......team!

Maybe you need to look up the word significant in the dictionary. I don't know how you can compare playing one down to someone who played 15 or 20 minutes as the same.

What DD said is that the new recruiting class would not make a big difference, that they would not contribute very much to this team.

On defense, TC started and drew a double-team, sometimes a triple team, all night long. Hightower started and played much of the game. On offense, Julio not only started, he also drew a double team all night long. And Ingram ran for 96 yards.

That is significant contribution that changed the Bama team, not to mention how much the newcomers have changed the work ethic and attitude of the entire team. Bama 08 is very different from Bama 07 and the newcomers are the major reason why.

The net is that DD badly underestimated the value of the newcomers in 2008. I look for the contribution to increase, not decrease, as the season progresses.

Marshall?...you ever recall this many freshmen seeing playing time the first game of the season????

I'm still waiting for your definition of "sisgnificant playing time", a term YOU used, not me. I see you're up to your old tricks, never responding to any questions when you make a wild assertion. Stop trying to change the subject and define significant playing time. I don't think running down on one kickoff would fit that description, do you?

I was hoping dD would answer the questions?????? that being that "dD" stated that no freshmen would see significant playing time, but I do believe :Ingram,Hightower, Julio all saw playing time!....I would say that dD needs to define "significant"????

Okay, but you do see the difference in being on 1 kickoff return and playing 20 minutes as far as what was significant or amjor playing time? I predicted 2 or 3 freshmen would start/see real playing time this year. Julio Jones and Ingram fit that bill. Hightower started but we didn't hear his name called much so I don't know how much major playing time he had. He had 1 tackle and 1 fumble recovery. The low number of tackles might be because the D line stopped everything without LB help or Hightower didn't play much. I just don't know. In fact, I don't remember hearing hardly any LB names mentinoed. A total of 10 freshmen "appeared" in the game, with 3 the previous mentioned starting. Those who played:

Jones
Ingram
Hightower
B. J. Scott
Mark Barron
Jerrell Harris
Chris Jordan
Chris Jackson
Marcel Dareus
Chris Underwood

My biggest problem is seeing Ingram on the special teams. He had 3 tackles. I would prefer not to risk him on kickoffs. Also, save that energy for running the ball or blocking.

I don't think Maze played and he's a redshirt freshman. I was reading an article about newcomers who played and Maze was not listed. Just don't know.
