Do you think Saban is leaning toward Bua being the FS?

[phinfan2003]

I know that Saban would draft BPA as opposed to drafting for need but does the fact that we haven't gone after a S mean that Saban is comfortable w/ Bua being the starting FS? Bua, IMO despite being a hard hitter, isn't very fast so I don't how good his cover skills are. I love the kid and I'd love it if he could win the starting job but I'm just wondering what's everybody's take on the situation.

as much as it would disappoint people, I wouldn't be suprised to see him cut, because he's just not starter material...he's slow as a S, way too small for LB...he was good on 1 ST hit, otherwise, he did nothing

I really dont understand the people who keep suggesting Bua is too slow to play safety. He runs a 4.65, it's not lightning quick but it is well within acceptable range for the Safety position.

I'd like to see one of our additional corners converted to FS. Will Poole, Mario Edwards, or Reggie Howard all have the physical build to be a good FS.

Bua is too slow for FS, but he could be in the mix at SS. He'll push Jones.

So then who from our current roster is slated to start TC as the starter? Tillman? Yikes!

Whats wrong with Bell and Tillman at FS? Bua will be groomed to replace Jones at SS.

Bell is always hurt. In fact, he's had 3 season ending injuries the last 4 years (1 of which came when he was in college) and Tillman is a ST in my opinion more than a starter

THANK YOU!!!!! Everybody is forgeting about Bell........Bell is going to be a stud back there(if he can stay healthy)

I like that idea, then hopefully Bell will step up and get the starting FS spot.

BUA and ROTH............ohhh yes....big hit to come .

I don't know how ready Bell will be. He's had 3 season ending injuries in the last 4 years. I'd rather have someone capable to compete w/ Bell and as an insurance policy in case Bell can't play.
