Title: BR: Alabama's Secondary Could Be One of the Best
Post by: pmull on April 27, 2011, 12:58:08 PM
At last look Alabama's secondary entered the bowl game having to replace an All-American safety with a short, slow walk-on. We never really got to see if that would be a problem because the Michigan State quarterback couldn't remain upright long enough to find out.

For that matter Will Lowery, the previously mentioned walk-on, must to use "the force" or something, because he's never out of position and plays bigger than he is.

Entering this spring safeties Mark Barron, Jarrick Williams and Nick Perry all wore black jerseys and were not allowed to hit.

I don't think hitting is an issue for a healthy Mark Barron, but it would have been nice to see Williams and Perry get some solid work. They did as much as they could do playing all the snaps, just pulling up rather than hitting.

At Alabama's spring game the secondary clearly showed they have come some distance since this time last year.

Isn't J Williams known for being a heavy hitter?

He is a big hitter. He is at safety for now but they think he can grow into an outside linebacker. His Bama profile is below:

Well I want to see this shut down Secondary, and how they tackle. I have seen some heads drop but the eyes looked downward not up to where they could see what they was tackling. RTR!
