Title: Two Young Players Will Replace Eddie Jackson as Alabama Punt Returner Post by: Marshal Dillon on November 03, 2016, 10:53:23 PM I figured Marks would be the main guy.
Quote It'll take more than one defensive back to replace Eddie Jackson in the multiple defensive formations. And in his other job, a few players will get a shot at returning punts. On his radio show Thursday evening, Nick Saban said sophomore Xavian Marks and true freshman Trevon Diggs are the two in competition for the job. Both got a few chances to audition for the job early in the season. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2016/11/two_young_players_will_replace.html Title: Re: Two Young Players Will Replace Eddie Jackson as Alabama Punt Returner Post by: Marshal Dillon on November 03, 2016, 10:56:22 PM Not NO but H*LL NO.
Quote Calvin Ridley "could also be good at it," Saban said, "but I think we'll probably go with one those two guys." :stars: Title: Re: Two Young Players Will Replace Eddie Jackson as Alabama Punt Returner Post by: bamaphil on November 04, 2016, 04:26:01 AM Not NO but H*LL NO.
