šŸˆ Fall Camp, 2025: News, notes, observations : 'Meat Church' cooks BBQ for the Tide.

I get that what he said may bother people, but personally.... I don't really care. It's a competitive sport, things like that are said all the time. Plus, we kicked his teeth in the next year and then beat him again in 21. I'd say we got our get back.
Alabama has an image, a brand. Coaches that are seen as leaders of men, of communities, of their profession. There have been a few coaches in the Alabama lineage that haven’t lived up to that and they’ve failed. Since Orgeron retired, have you seen him in the community? In the profession? Yeah, we got our payback but that hasn’t changed who Orgeron is.

Alabama’s defense was working on something interesting. The defensive line was off doing its own thing, but the Wolf, linebackers and secondary were working through different formations and coverage responsibilities. What made it interesting was you had a three safety look (plus the Husky, making six total defensive backs on the field). So it was the Wolf, one off-ball LB and six defensive backs (two perimeter corners, a Husky and three-high safeties). You saw one of the safeties (I noticed Bray Hubbard and Dre Kirkpatrick Jr.) walk down some next to the off-ball LB to provide some Dime LB looks, which is an interesting wrinkle compared to a season ago.
 
Alabama's first team offensive line unit appeared to be Kadyn Proctor, Kam Dewberry, Parker Brailsford, Geno VanDeMark and Wilkin Formby.
Utility offensive lineman Olaus Alinnen worked as the immediate backup at left tackle. Alinnen has been operating at both guard spots and both tackle spots throughout the offseason.
Defensive lineman James Smith was participating in practice after being held out of the last two scrimmages. He didn't appear to be limited. In fact, he was even first in line for one of the sled drills
There were NFL representatives from at least the Bills, Lions and Browns at practice
The running backs did a variety of drills today without starter Jam Miller, who will be sidelined for an uncertain amount of time following an upper-body injury. The main order for drills: 1. Richard Young, 2. Daniel Hill, 3. Dre Washington, 4. Kevin Riley, 5. AK Dear
The first RB drill shown during the media practice viewing simulated breaking through small gaps. They had to zoom and make contact between two pads and 6-foot-1, 244-pound sophomore Daniel Hill breezed through this drill.
The running backs then worked with the quarterbacks on a couple of medium routes towards the end zone. Starter Ty Simpson connected with Hill and Austin Mack plus Keelon Russell also threw to the RBs. Simpson and Dear were unable to connect on a play, though.
The QBs and RBs collaborated once again with a simple handoff drill with the running backs having to make a quick move to swerve around a pad thrown on the ground. Richard Young handled the drill pretty well.
Inside linebackers Deontae Lawson and Nikai Hill-Green spent time with the defensive lineman for a portion as the two groups worked on several stunts. Double-mug appears to be the defensive trend entering the 2025 season with both Lawson and Hill-Green simulating rushing out of the A-gap and wrapping with the bandits. Defensive line coach Freddie Roach was vocal about the groups stunting in sync and, "talking with your pads" as the pairs worked through the drills. Lawson had some good reps despite still having a knee brace on his leg. LT Overton ferociously attacked the pads as well.
 
Brandon,
I’m almost certain that I heard Charlie Potter say that Brooks participated in the 2nd scrimmage. But I’m not completely sure

That’s probably correct then, he’d know. Days are running together on me. I edited the post a few minutes after when I realized my notes on him still being out where from the previous scrimmage. But then, I heard nothing about him this past Saturday either… though that’s no indication one way or another on anything.
