Alexander gained valuable experience.  He stepped in the fire and played well for the most part. I also have heard Lloyd is close to passing if not equal to Whitfield.  He has made plays in the limited time he has received-I like that as someone pointed out that if he can run down Oregon States WR then maybe he is at the wrong position- he is bigger and faster and by now is accustomed to the position, especially with Akina coaching all them up the DB unit should be a great bunch-no worries there.  Barton wont be ready to go for a year.  Has to get his body back from mission, just like Fanaika wasn't ready and got injured.  But I see Fainika at 320 lbs being a great NT and helping with the DL.  He has quick feet and good upper body strength.  Not as strong as Parry, but quicker movement and hands IMO.

I agree with most and think the DB's will be fine (remember people were worried this Spring and they have been great)...the LB'ers will be solid;  a little work on the DL and we will be fine.  Hogan is coming back 99%.  WR's are solid even w/out TY (as pointed out UCLA example and having to spread the ball around).  Experience line, Garnett is 90% staying he isn't ready and Peat is 95% gone IMO;  why wouldn't he take the $$$.  If they open the offense up a bit and be more aggressive, with 7 home games I see us as an early 9-3 or 10-2 team. 

Go Cardinal!
