It concerns me about Trey Sanders. I know we have Najee and Robinson returning, but I think Sanders will be star of the backfield if he stays healthy.

Yeah, no kidding.  I'm not convinced Najee can carry the load.

I wasn't going to say that, but yeah, I think you're right.

Well I just hope healing takes place. I have no idea how our players keep getting hurt so much before the season starts. RTR!

Saturday's first scrimmage:

Not good.  The biggest news for Alabama football at Saturday’s scrimmage is the possibly serious injury to senior, inside linebacker, Josh McMillon. Josh was expected to start next to Dylan Moses against Duke. There has been no official diagnosis but all reports are the Crimson Tide staff is concerned it could a serious injury.

Adding McMillon to the list, five key starters were sidelined Saturday. Mike linebacker, Dylan Moses and right guard, senior, Matt Womack were withheld from the scrimmage. Neither is expected to miss much work. LaBryan Ray and D.J. Dale are out with a foot and knee problem. Both are expected to return no later than Duke game week.

There is also an unconfirmed rumor backup defensive lineman Stephon Wynn was banged up during the scrimmage.

Based on carefully leaked reports from some present, there were plenty of positives from the Crimson Tide’s first scrimmage. Redshirt freshman, running back Jerome Ford broke a couple of good runs.

Multiple unconfirmed reports are Terrell Lewis, Anfernee Jennings and Chris Allen had strong performances.

Will Reichard was 4-for-4 on field goals with one being in the 50-yard range.

“They did really well today,” head coach Nick Saban said when asked about the kicking units following the scrimmage. “I don’t know exactly what the stats were, but both punters — Will (Reichard) and Skyler (DeLong) — both punted the ball really well. Will was really good on field goals. I think Joe (Bulovas) was pretty good on field goals.”

According to reports from those in attendance Reichard was especially impressive, connecting on all four of his field goals with a long of 50 yards during the scrimmage. This comes after the freshman nailed a 43-yard kick during the A-Day game this spring. Meanwhile, Alabama fans will welcome positive news surrounding Bulovas after the redshirt sophomore delivered a disappointing 1 of 3 showing on A-Day.

The success in the punting game is also an encouraging trend. DeLong averaged 47.5 yards on his four attempts during A-Day and looks to have finally put his freshman demons behind him. As Saban mentioned, Reichard is also a candidate for the punting role after averaging 42.2 yards on six punts during A-Day.

Thanks for the updates, Chech. The season can't get started soon enough. The injury bug is killing us.

  I totally agree. I just wonder why it seems we get more injuries than any other team?  , RTR!
