Last day of practice notes before Christmas. Alabama will be practicing tomorrow but it will not be open to the media. The team was working in full pads again today.
- Good news: Keith Holcombe was dressed and participating. It looked like he might have had a brace on his right knee, but considering what it looked like when he was helped off yesterday, it was good to see him out there.
- Less-than-good news: ArDarius Stewart wasn't participating again today. He was dressed and out there with the receivers but was not running routes. Seemed to be in good spirits, though.
- Tony Brown was practicing and working in the dime package. If you're curious, Minkah Fitzpatrick had some really good things to say about Shyheim Carter in interviews earlier today. Said he made a lot of progress and was playing well when he had to step in at Star while Tony was out.
- Steve Sarkisian was nosing around the tight ends while I was watching. He's kind of been making the rounds on offense, though he's spent more time with the QBs.
- Dakota Ball remains absent from practice.

Last time we'll talk to Nick before Atlanta. Here's the highlights:
OPENING STATEMENT
"First off, I'd like to wish everybody here, all of our fans and supporters and friends out there who we don't have an opportunity to see at this time of year a very happy holiday season. This is probably the last time I'll have any opportunity to express that. I think this is a joyous time for your family. I hope everybody has a great holiday season.
"Practice has gone fairly well. Today the players had really good intensity, mental focus. For the most part, we have done a pretty good job in that regard. Yesterday was a little bit sloppy. I think when you practice seven days in a row _ the reason we do that is because we want to condense the time that the players are here so they have a little bit more time off to be at home to spend with their families for Christmas, as well as maybe the time over break. They kind of get that. They understand that. They understand why we do what we do, and they've responded very well.
"We have a high standard of expectations here for how we want to do things to try to be the best we can be. Every player has got to understand that and understand that your destiny and future lies in what you're willing to put into it and the choices and decisions that you make moving forward from this time on. Some people can do that, some people can't. It'll be interesting to see how our guys do it and how we can get them to do it. I think that'll be a real key for how well we play in the game against a very, very good team. Every time I stand up here, I try to convince everybody what a great team Washington is. They're a very good football team on both sides of the ball. They're very well coached. They've got good schemes. They've got good players. This is going to be a real tough game for us. This is by far the best team we've played against all year long.
"Tomorrow we move practice up, and that's strictly so the players have more travel time to get home so they can extend their vacation time a little bit and spend several days at home with their family.
"Everybody was back at practice today. Keith Holcombe practiced today. Cam Robinson practiced today. So that was...We've got some guys that are nicked up but nobody that couldn't go out there and practice and get their turns."
How has the nickel position evolved over time?
"I think that the star position has transitioned to an every-down position. I think I remember a time, it may have been back when I was back with the Cleveland Browns, I don't know, maybe it's longer than maybe I want to remember it being, where that was really a guy that played specialty downs, probably third down. You played maybe one team, like the Houston Oilers were a run-and-shoot team, so you would play nickel or dime almost the whole game. So you were looking for a guy that was a good cover guy and really could get you off the team on third down. But now I think, with most people running this style of offense, probably 80 percent of our snaps are played in nickel. I'm talking about first and second down snaps, not just third down snaps. So that guy has to be a much more complete player. He has to be a big guy, he has to be a good tackler, he has to be a good cover guy. So he has to have some corner attributes because he's going to cover a corner guy in the slot but he also has to be a guy that has some safety type attributes that's big and physical, can play the run, set the edge for you sometimes and be a really good tackler. Because really his position is an outside linebacker, for practical purposes. We call him Star because if you put our defense up, the Sam would be doing the same thing as the Star. Some things, the Sam you would never ask to do, like cover a wide receiver. That's why the position is named Star. So it has changed quite dramatically in the last 10 or 15 years."
What have you seen on film from Jake Browning, in particular his legs?
"He's a really good athlete, has quickness, has pocket presence, he extends a lot of plays, he can run. He's athletic enough to run. This guy is a really, really good player. He's accurate throwing the ball, gets the ball out of his hand quickly, and does a really good job of executing their offense. This will be one of the best quarterbacks we've played all year."
Six Alabama players named to the Pro Bowl, your thoughts?
"I think it's great. I didn't see it. Not that I don't think what you guys do is important, I just don't have a lot of time to read the paper this time (of year). I don't do the internet, as you well know, and I don't watch TV much. Who are they? I'd like to know?"
Amari, Julio, Dont'a, CJ, Landon and Ha Ha.
"Hey, that's great. I think that's fantastic. We try to do a good job of helping our players develop here so they're more ready to play in the league and we've had some awfully good players. Every one of those guys are really, really good players. I'm really excited for them and their families. They did a fantastic job here for us. To see them get recognized now in the league as one of the top players is, I think, fantastic for them. I'm really proud of them and really happy for them."
You've had several freshmen come in and win starting jobs. Is there a common denominator for them?
"I think you probably hit it right there, I think some guys are more ready for others. I think some positions are easier to play than others. Probably the offensive line being the most difficult. Cam Robinson and Jonah this year being able to play that position at tackle speaks volumes for sort of the maturity that they have to be responsible to do the job. I think the biggest thing that incoming players have to understand is the guys that can focus on development and really have it in their mind that they have to learn and grow to be college football players are the guys that come in with the right mindset so that they can transition into being a college football player. I think the guys that think they're going to come in and because they're good, have success, that that's just naturally going to happen for them, I think those guys struggle a little bit because they're not focused on what they need to do to be a complete player at their position. I think that's really the key for a guy being able to play early as a college player. Is that maturity? I guess we can call it a lot of things. I guess what I would say is, mature competitors usually understand what they have to do to be able to go play well, and they're willing to put the time and the work in to get there. So maybe it's maturity as a person as much as it is maturity as a competitor."
What would you say to a player that asked you to sit out the bowl game to protect his NFL career?
"I don't answer hypothetical questions. You're asking me a hypothetical question. But I will say this: I think when we created the playoff, which all of you wanted to do and all of you wanted to make it four teams, and now all of you want to make it eight teams, and then pretty soon all you guys are going to want to make it 16 teams, and the only focus is on the playoff. But when we all started this, however many years ago it was, I said that you're going to diminish the importance of other bowl games in college football, which has happened. All anybody talks about is the playoff. We have a whole bunch of other bowl games that people don't think are all that important. So if you don't think it's important, all of a sudden the players don't think it's important. So you can't really blame the players.
"We created this. We created this. It used to be to go to the Rose Bowl, when you played in the Big 10, that was the ultimate experience you could have. When you played in the SEC, going to the Sugar Bowl was that same thing and when you played in the Big 12, it was going to the Orange Bowl. Those things don't exist anymore. We have a playoff and everybody is interested in the playoff. Nobody is interested in anything else. So now that that's trickled down to the players, how could you blame the players for that? I can't blame the players for that.
"I think what every player has to decide – and what I would say to every player – is I think every player probably benefits from playing really, really well. I think when you play in big games and you play really, really well, I think that enhances your value as a player. That’s what I think.
Now, every player would have to make the decision between is that more important, relative to protecting yourself? That’s every player’s choice and every player’s decision. I don’t know that there’s much more to say about it than that."
Josh Jacobs, where is he better and how important was he when RBs got dinged?
"Well, I think it was really important for us. We didn’t have a lot of depth at the running back position, so we actually had two freshmen. One of them (B.J. Emmons) got hurt during the course of the season. But Josh got playing time early, he took advantage of it and has had a role at that position that has been critical to the success of our offensive team. There were times when Bo was hurt, so he needed to play and he played well for us. There’s times when Damien Harris was hurt and Bo could play. So we’ve been kind of running by committee all year and he certainly made a significant contribution to that. Hopefully, we’ll have all three of those guys healthy for this game."
More difficult to prepare for a Washington, where you don’t see much of them?
"I think the film is the film. I think any time you play a team, you develop sort of a history of what they like to do, and you have that knowledge and experience and so do the players. I think when you play somebody that’s not a common opponent, that you’ve never played before, the film is the film. So there’s a lot more research that you do, but there’s a lot more to learn because you’re not starting from, ‘OK, we’ve played these guys every other year for the last 10 years, we kind of know what they like to do.’ There’s none of that, so you’re kind of teaching the players from scratch and you’re learning it from scratch. I think when you have extra time when you play in these kind of games when you play opponents that you haven’t played before, that’s probably helpful to the players.
We saw ArDarius working with the quarterbacks in practice today? (Ben's note: he threw one pass. Looked like he was joking around).
"Working with the who? He used to be a quarterback. He was … there is no reason for that. I mean, he’s got a pulled muscle and he’s limited in practice. So, I don’t know of any reason for it. And if we had a reason for it, do you think I would tell you? Where do you guys come up with this? I’m doing everything I can not to say bad words in the holiday season."
Washington’s secondary?
"They’re really good. They do a great job of … they break on the ball. They’re ball-hawking. They have lots of interceptions, which I think always tells you guys how good ball judgment, good ball skills. People can break on the ball. They do a really good job of that. They play a lot of middle of the field closed type coverages and their guys do a really good job of executing. Kind of Seattle Seahawk-like, very similar to the way they play in the secondary and their guys break on the ball and do a really good job."

Nick Saban press conference notes and transcript | TideSports.com
- No major injuries. Saban said everyone would be able to play if needed at the moment other than the guys that we know are ruled out.
- He had two near-eruptions today. Listed thusly:
- Was asked about players who are sitting out the bowl games to get ready for the NFL. First said "I don't answer hypotheticals," then went into a long spiel about how the playoff devalues other bowl games and what used to be valuable experiences for players and teams. Blamed "you all" for this, which might mean the media, or maybe is just college football fans in general who pushed for a playoff.
- Later got a question about ArDarius Stewart throwing a pass in practice during position drills with the QBs (see below for full context; next to last question). "Where do you guys come up with this? I’m doing everything I can not to say bad words in the holiday season."
- He's made his opinion of Washington very clear the 2 or 3 times we've talked to him. Basically this: "This is by far the best team we've played against all year long.

You know damn well that isn't gonna happen. We're all gonna be pissing and moaning that Lane isn't running the ball enough in the 1st half.
Yea, almost as crazy as suggesting throwing to OJ Howard in middle of field at some point.
I know one Ahole that will be complaining the entire game if he's still on the board. I ignored him.
Reminds me of uofarolltide. Dude was constantly pleading for Jalen Hurts to win the job all summer and when he gets the spot immediately started knocking every aspect of his game? Either a bad case of schizophrenia or just terrible at trolling.
Whom Us!! No way!! We Bama fans wouldn't do anything like that!!

HURT: Pruitt keeping a low profile
Cecil Hurt | TideSports.com
Erin Nelson | The Tuscaloosa News
ATLANTA — In an age of celebrity artists, Jeremy Pruitt is doing his work quietly.
The University of Alabama defense that has come to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl hoping to stifle Washington and advance to the College Football Playoff Championship is already knee-deep in accolades. "Best college defense this season" is the least of it. "Best Alabama defense ever" comes up a lot, and that leads to hints and whispers, premature but persistent, about "best defense ever." At one point on Tuesday, a zealous reporter asked Pruitt to compare the Crimson Tide defense to the Denver Broncos.
"I don't know much about the Broncos," Pruitt replied with a chuckle.
Hyperbole aside, Pruitt has built a powerful unit, one that has allowed just two touchdowns since the end of October. Yet he's only mentioned occasionally and attracts less attention than the offensive coordinator of his own team. That's stiff competition, given the interest in all things Lane Kiffin. Even when the conversation is strictly defense, it's often called "Nick Saban's defense," casting Saban as the engineer and Pruitt as the mechanic who keeps things running smoothly.
Pruitt, like any good defensive coordinator, takes no offense at that.
"Coach Saban is very hands-on in every part of our program from the weight room to the nutrition to all the way down to what we're going to wear to this press conference," Pruitt said. "But, yes, on game day, it's a luxury as a play caller, you've got somebody to lean on. I call the plays. I call the defenses. (But) if he has something that he likes or wants to interject, obviously he does."
Saban also contributes to keeping his assistants out of the spotlight's glare by limiting interviews. Pruitt only sits down with reporters two or three times a year, but one characteristic – you could call it a quirk – is quickly evident. Unless he's asked a specific question, Pruitt rarely names a specific player, even on a team loaded with talent like Jonathan Allen, Ryan Anderson and Reuben Foster.
"I think in this day and time, it's hard to get one guy to do his job, much less 11 guys to do their job," he said. "I think this group has been unique in the fact that not only (do) they know what to do, they know how to do it and they know why it's important to do it that way.
"You can find guys that can do that some of the time, but it's hard to find guys that can do that all the time. I think that's unique about this bunch. They can sustain. They can do it. It don't matter, you know, what's going on in the game, what the atmosphere is. The bigger the challenge, the more they ... rise to the top. I think that's what's unique about these guys."
That didn't stop the individual questions, including one about how Reuben Foster had played this season.
"You know he won the Butkus, right?" Pruitt answered with a bemused look.
The time is coming when Pruitt will step squarely into the spotlight. In a year or two, he will follow the path of other Saban coordinators, leaving Alabama for a head coaching job. He has been prepared for that, at some level, since his youth: the son of noted Alabama high school coach Dale Pruitt (now at Albertville) has continued to learn under Saban.
"I do see similarities in my dad and Coach Saban," Pruitt said. "The main one is how they relate to people. That's what matters in coaching. You can be the best technician in the world, break down film, but if you can't convey that to the players, what to do on the field, you won't be a good coach."
