🏈 🏈 Alabama's Fall Camp~2021

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

12 of 29 150 yards - not completion percentage desired. Same with Tyson 14-28. No context so these numbers are probably misleading or they may be running for their life which is still a problem.

Early in the fall camp but sounds like at a high level we are where we expected we would be.

Poor ole Bill O'Brien is going to meet the Boo Birds right out of the gate....

Nice snag by whom I am assuming is Javon Baker on the goal line against Kool-Aid.

Not the intent. I expect some struggles. Nothing to do with O'Brien. Has more to do with the number of starters and stars being replaced with very good players but will take time to gain some experience. The offense last year was unreal so not expecting they will match that but they will need to be better than 50% completion ratings. As I stated we do not have the context around those numbers so I am sure they are misleading to a point.

Those stats could def be skewed... For instance, in Josey's post, he mentioned the team working on 3rd and longs. As you noted!

This.

If you guys recall stats coming out of scrimmage were glowing for the quarterbacks only to be met with members of the media questioning Saban if they'd made up the stats.

We can't take a lot away from stats in scrimmages especially when so much of it is situational work. At least I'm not.

And working vs Bama D.....
Which may be tougher than any theQBs may face

I sure hope this is the case. Been waiting on the D to get back to form for a few years now. As a Bama fan I still want my cake and eat it to. 50 points a game on offense and hold the opponent to 10 or less, oh and the QB's completion rate is 75% or higher. Not asking for much .

The D is so deep it as absurd.

DL has 9 guys for 3 spots in the Base. In Nickel, they only play 2 DL and Allen and Anderson become DEs.

We know how deep LB is - has there ever been a more talented 4 deep LB corps in college football?

Safety has Battle and Hellams, Moore and Branch, Daniel Wright
CB - Jobe and JAD, Banks and Koolaid, Khyree Jackson

Moore and Branch will play the nickel and dime roles - basically interchangeable players and both are fantastic

CNS always covers the opening game, neutral site games. Until last year when I put all my Bama bucks on it. Means they will probably go back to covering again this year! I’ll be trying the same wager.

Javon has always been said to have great hands and he certainly showed that during the first scrimmage. He made a one-handed catch tapping one foot in bounds at the one yard line … over Kool-Aid no less.

Yes, this is the one I made a comment about when they released the scrimmage video. Awesome catch.

Can't tell from that angle but it appears he swung the ball across the goal line before going out of bounds. Hit the inside of the pylon with the ball.

Well it look like a great catch from Baker! But what it saying about Kool-Aid?

Yep pass interference and not finding the ball but!!! The coverage was actually pretty dang good. Sometimes the other guy makes a great play and you tip your hat. Not sure Kool-aid could have done much more other than find the ball and use that left hand to try and bat it down. The prefect ball placement and Baker using his body to shield the ball from the defender made it extremely difficult to defend.
