of a middle linebacker, yesterday it was crystal clear. Foster was everywhere. Their defense ran as an extension of him. If he wasn't plugging up what little crease there was between the tackles, he was in our backfield chasing Dobbs or moving to the outside covering our receivers. Kirkland is in that same mold but I don't think he is as big. As a program, Bama does a great job of recruiting and maximizing that position. It's been that way since the sixities. Hat's off to Jumper, he is giving the best he is capable of and I think has really improved.
