Title: "Nick Saban assesses Alabama quarterback competition, says one playing faster at this point" Post by: WALL-E on August 16, 2014, 05:09:02 PM Nick Saban assesses Alabama quarterback competition, says one playing faster at this point

He went a little deeper on the development of both passers after two weeks of camp. "I do think Blake probably is playing a little faster right now," Saban said. "He's been in the system longer and has a better understanding, has a little more rhythm." ... I see ONE e-cred slipping away. :lol2: Title: Re: "Nick Saban assesses Alabama quarterback competition, says one playing faster at this point" Post by: Catch Prothro on August 17, 2014, 07:00:17 AM Quote There were a few explosive plays made in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. Running back Kenyan Drake caught a 65-yard touchdown pass coming out of the backfield and was the leading receiver again with three receptions and 77 yards. Confirmation of Jamos' report, Coker to Cooper, Sims to Drake for TDs. And the dropped passes.Junior Amari Cooper also had a touchdown reception among his five catches for 63 yards. Even if the statistics were supplied for the quarterbacks, Saban said they would be skewed by some drops. Interceptions came on tipped passes, Saban said. So a verdict? "Until someone clearly wins the job," Saban said, "we're not going to make a decision."

I think he
said that although one player was faster....neither was showing the consistency he is looking for. |
