Which of these played last year?
Ingram. Cody. Maybe Hightower, I don't remember.
You're really going to count Brad Smelley? Or Michael Williams? Seriously? He's played in two games and has three catches. Yeah, that's significant. Who the phuk is Robby Green? His mother doesn't know him. John Michael Boswell? He used to be the guy who worked with Charlie's Angels, right?
Saban is making his gravy with Shula's players. That, more than anything, is what concerns me about that poop eating leprechaun.
You asked who has played, not who has made the greatest impact. Smelley has played a lot. Michael Williams switched from Defensive End to Tight End this season. He's started at a new position and has pushed his way to #2 on the depth chart, but yeah, he hasn't really made a huge impact.
Robby Green plays a lot also. He's also been involved in some big plays this fall.
I agree that Saban has done a good job coaching up Shula's players, but depth is where these players helped the most. We don't fall apart in the 4th quarter because we have quality players to plug in during the game. As for the players who have the greatest impact.
Ingram - leading rusher in the SEC
Jones - leading receiver on the team
Dareus - leads team in sacks
Barron - leads SEC in interceptions
Cody - eats up most of the interior line
Just take those players away and you are not looking at a 10-0 team right now.
