Thanks for the first post. The passing looked sharp. I saw good hands out there. RTR!

Wednesday:

For the first full day in pads, Alabama head coach Nick Saban was at least slightly merciful in his practice venue.  The Crimson Tide went inside for its Wednesday practice, ...avoiding the 93-degree humid Tuscaloosa heat.

Tight end Miller Forristall was back for the practice after sitting out the last week with a foot injury...  Major Tennison continued to work with the first unit at tight end, followed by Cam Latu and walk-on Giles Amos.

Cornerback Josh Jobe was back at practice after missing Tuesday’s workout with an undisclosed injury.

Defensive end LaBryan Ray and defensive back Nigel Knott continued to be out of practice.

Thanks Chech. I sure hope we can cut down on the injuries this year.

Thanks Chech. I sure hope we can cut down on the injuries this year.

Just comes with the territory.
Maybe Tua learned that he can't stand back there for 7 seconds waiting for a receiver.  I'm betting we play more 4 wideouts and quick passes.  Splitting out a TE, like we did last year, isn't the same.  We've got enough WRs, and Tua has enough experience, that we should have a great quick-passing game.

Saban:

“We don’t have to really decide who we’re going to have to coach this early in camp, but I think how they respond on Saturday's scrimmage goes a long way in telling you if a guy has the right stuff relative to the maturity to be trustworthy to go out there and do a job, whether that’s special teams, offense, defense or whatever part of our team. That’s going to be the No. 1 priority for the scrimmage on Saturday.”

Well I am going to be very curious as to our Special Teams work this year. RTR!

That is a double-edged sword IMO.  Remember when we complained about Jalen Hurts pulling the ball down and running before his receiver got open?  Now the complaint is that Tua waits too long...

I think Tua just trusts our O-line to much. RTR!

I notice it said DJ Dale the first team nose tackle. Is this Freshman the starting Nose tackle? RTR!

I love fall practice. We have a new reason to panic every day. And then the season starts and all our worrying was for nothing.

YES

We panicked during this period the past 2 years because we "lacked leadership on the defense".

It worked out okay.

It worked out okay until Clemson.
