Title: 11 Newcomers Saban Expects to Play a Role Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 28, 2014, 09:29:10 PM Hope he's right.
Quote So when he was asked about which freshmen/newcomers will contribute this fall, Saban responded with a list and some insight. Saban continued to praise Cam Robinson, the starter at left tackle. He also mention junior college transfer Dominick Jackson is working at left tackle as well. The slightly more experienced player "could have been a starter," but a sprained ankle in the first scrimmage stunted his growth. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2014/08/alabama_freshmen_2014.html#incart_more_sports Title: Re: 11 Newcomers Saban Expects to Play a Role Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 28, 2014, 09:33:38 PM Who?
Quote A few other freshmen could work into some playing time on the offensive line including Ross Pierschbacher "could play if he continues to develop." ???

A true freshman starting at left tackle, it would seem that this should garner more headlines.

No interview, no worthy story. :dunno: Title: Re: 11 Newcomers Saban Expects to Play a Role Post by: Catch Prothro on August 29, 2014, 08:52:39 AM I've been wondering why we haven't heard more about Robinson. A true freshman starting at left tackle, it would seem that this should garner more headlines. They did a bit of film of Robinson on preseason TV coverage, ESPN or SEC Network. Said he was more college ready than Cyrus Kouandjio or Andre Smith. :oHere's a USA Today story: http://sports.usatoday.com/2014/08/26/tide-true-freshman-robinson-starting-at-left-tackle/ Title: Re: 11 Newcomers Saban Expects to Play a Role Post by: ricky023 on August 29, 2014, 09:20:06 AM I really think after our poor ending last year, these guys are gonna have a better football instinct this year. If the Freshmen can learn to communicate and the older players learn to teach team chemistry instead of being job scared we have a heck of a chance to win it all again. RTR!
