All Alabama fans know the story as I’m sure you have heard a lot of talk lately about how the Bama O-line is going to have a ton of problems in ‘09. Yes, we are going to have our share of problems with the O-line but not for the reasons people are saying.
Last season the Alabama offensive line was very strong, quick and able to control the line of scrimmage. All three of these might pose a problem for the Tide next year. We lost key players in center Antonie Caldwell and left tackle Andre Smith both who entered into the NFL draft after the end of the ‘08 season.
We have a few guys who could try and fill both of these guys shoes but trust me this will be no easy task. Evan Cardwell who is a great offensive lineman is most likely not going to be around for the ‘09 season.
Cardwell is suffering from severe back pains and is most likely going to be on the side lines watching most of the season from there.
Evan Cardwell is a very strong talented O-lineman who benches over 350 and squats over 430. He has seen time at the center position both of his two year’s of eligibility at Alabama. In 2007 Cardwell started the last eight games and made some great blocks for the Tide, he is going to be a big loss for the Tide next season.
Another key loss will be converted defensive lineman …
