There may be half of the ones we can point to as starters now. May be.Who are the ones? I know Evan Neal and Ekiyor are there, along with Owens most likely. Who fills out the rest?
Versus the transcript with proper punctuation, paragraphs, etc."We got 10 practices in now. One of the things that we want to see is individual players improve, improve their ability to play winning football fundamentals. But I also think we're trying to develop some team dynamics, some team chemistry, looking for people who put team first. Guys that understand that what you did last year really is not going to create any value for what you do this year, or help you play better this year, but it's going to be based on what you do to create positive outcomes for yourself this year by paying attention to detail, doing little things right, playing with discipline, holding each other accountable to the standards that they all know that we expect from them day in and day out, being positive, not being negative, set a good example for each other and they have great examples on this team of some of the things that we had on last year's team, which was all about intangibles, it was all about leadership, it was all about holding people accountable. So I think that's part of the development that we want to have in spring practice as a team, as well as just running plays improving learning assignments, learning what to do, how to do it, why it's important to do it that way. And I do see improvement.
They have great examples on this team from last year's team, which was all about intangibles
So this bunch is living off last year still.............Aight
It APPEARS there is true competition at many many positions and that is great. I guess the question is is the competition due to high talent guys or is the current starter not great thus the competition the result of two average players? The 2nd scrimmage of fall will give us a larger indication of starters but this A Day should be fun.There may be half of the ones we can point to as starters now. May be.
We won't know who's on the offensive line until fall. They habitually change rotations through fall camp.
We can put Metchie and Slade in, who is #3 and #4? We don't know yet.
Who starts at running back? We don't know. It may be B-Rob, but there's as good of a chance Jase makes his way there.
Young, no doubt.
See what I mean? In my view it's too early. In a few days we'll say "looks like the starter coming out of spring ball" but that's "spring ball."

When have we ever learned anything from A-day or spring ball? Seriously. All we get in what's basically a pencil sketch. We're starting to get the picture but there's still so much we can't say. IE: IF To'o To'o arrives on Bama where does the rotation of the ILB end up? Shuffled.It APPEARS there is true competition at many many positions and that is great. I guess the question is is the competition due to high talent guys or is the current starter not great thus the competition the result of two average players?

This one ISN'T your story, it's AL.com misquoting; specifically leaving out something really important. They left out the first sentence.Saban talks freshmen progress, role of new coach, WRs
Nick Saban addresses a number of topics after Alabama's 10th spring practice of 2021.www.al.com
# 9 on defense has been warned
-- Asked about safety Jordan Battle, Saban spoke a lot about personal responsibility. “People have to earn the right to be leaders,” Saban said. “They have to do things right themselves. They can’t be late for meetings and not do things exactly right. They have to set a good example for others … That’s his choice. That’s a lot of people’s choice on the team.”
Hmmmm

He had surgery. He's still in his rehab phase.So Piece Quick has dropped to the 3's?

Jordan Battle does a good job. He plays a lot of good football, but it's going to be up to him as to how he wants to accept the role of leadership -- how assertive he wants to be. People have to earn the right to be leaders. They have to do things right themselves. They can't be late for meetings.
This works for me . Team has a lot of moving pieces to develop but you know the talent is there. Does not guarantee anything but it is a great place to start.This guy has to be the President of the Alabama Football Sunshine Only Club (dues are free I understand)
Print the shirts
JMO but this 2021 bunch will be a talented and WELL COACHED football team. The biggest question is how will the QB play when we play someone that is somebody. I would take a 2011 AJ type player this year right now.This works for me . Team has a lot of moving pieces to develop but you know the talent is there.

We have seen so many teams with dynamic QBs.....hoping ours will be so this year...but can’t complain about the ones we have put on field.....JMO but this 2021 bunch will be a talented and WELL COACHED football team.

Rule #1 QB can't beat his own team with mistakes
Rule #2 See rule #1
