Insider nuggets from Bama 247:
Quick update before scrimmage Saturday. Team will practice today then scrimmage in stadium tomorrow, next week they will practice on Tuesday and Thursday then ADAY on Saturday which will be the end of spring. So after today, two scrimmages and two practices and spring is over.
I will get specifics out on scrimmage tomorrow then spring recap after ADAY as things change over the last two weeks. Most is set but....
The truth... OL has the most movement. Still a lot of moving parts on first and second team. Coaches want the best five on the field and have plenty of options. For fun, you could see any of the following combos
Neal, Ekiyor, Owens, T Brown, Randolph or Neal, Ekiyor, Owens, T Brown, Cohen or Neal, Ekiyor, Owens, Cohen, T Brown or Neal, Ekiyor, Owens, Cohen or T Brown, George. Ekiyor could play RG and same would rotate. The current second team from left to right is T Brockermeyer, Kight, Dalcourt, McLaughlin, Latham. Ferguson and Bowles not far behind. Potential starters from second team would be Quick when he returns, Latham, or Tommy Brockermeyer. The truth...Owens, Ekiyor, and Neal will start!
Nobody has been able to stop Will Anderson and Chris Allen from the outside or Harris up the middle blitzing. They might be along with Moody (Or Lee or freshman) the best group ever at Alabama or at least in a long time. And our DL has 9 players that would start for most top 10 teams.
Armour -Davis and Jobe have been doing great in practice but coaches working hard on developing corner depth. See previous posts and more to come this spring and summer. We are one lock down corner away from THE TRUTH DEFENSE!
One interesting point to follow is what happens when Moore returns...That will be determined this summer in 7-7 and fall camp. Armour-Davis, Jobe, Battle, Hellams, and Branch starting now.
In spring game you will see that defense is way ahead unless 1 offense goes against 2 defense or 2 offense goes against 3 defense. Or they play cover 2 and don't blitz much. Defense is REALLY good!
