We've got a lot of confidence in him as a receiver." Calls him a mismatch because of his size. Saban stresses he's not in the game only because of his blocking, but more to give Amari Cooper a rest. -- Saban lists Sims, Robert Foster, Chris Black and ArDarius Stewart as young receivers who have improved. -- Saban on D-line knocking down passes: Said some defensive linemen are leading ball disruptions, even ahead of some defensive backs. Film review of low passes is really eye-opening for players, Saban said, because of the number of balls that are possible to be batted down. -- On the seniors: "We've had a very good group of seniors this year, a very good leadership group." Says Alabama's seniors are really "well-liked" with their teammates. -- Saban said some of the seniors who are showing great leadership this season struggled in similar spots last season. -- :o On Amari Cooper: Saban said Cooper came to his summer camp before senior year. He was the "most impressive" to Saban because of his quickness, change of direction, speed, hands, hard worker. "I walked away from that camp saying this may be the best receiver we've had in these camps." |
