🏈 Suttles: The Game is Slowing Down for Jalen Hurts...

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

“I think decision-making, getting the ball out of his hand more quickly, not looking at the rush, not drifting in the pocket, reading and having his eyes in the right place relative to the coverage and read that particular play has,” Saban said. “I think those are the things that are fundamentally what we’re trying to get him to improve on and I think he’s doing a much better job in that regard.

“He still has the ability to run and make plays with his feet, but that’s not what we want to focus on right now. I think he’s kind of bought into that and done a really good job with it.”

Of those things, all are at least partially mental, aspects of the game that can take longer to get comfortable with than some others. The game slowing down to Hurts would help in all those regards.

Even junior safety Ronnie Harrison noticed Hurts’ growth.

“I remember when he first got here, he was a freshman, his first couple of practices I picked him off a couple of times,” Harrison said. “Now it’s kind of like I can tell he’s reading me. He’s learning defenses and learning how to read better.

“One play in practice…it was a safety read and he was reading me to see if I was coming down in coverage or if I was going to stay high. I kind of tried to hold it but I couldn’t and came down and he faked the ball and then he threw it to the receiver right over my head. I was like, ‘Dang, he’s really coming along.’'

Jalen is getting face time with Brady and Gronk, how surreal is that for a freshman QB? It's nice to hear how fundamentals and experience are doing their thing on the field.

Alas, I fear it so, every practice that goes by @Sgt. Lincoln Osiris is just that much closer to saying, I told you so. Not that he would put that in an ugly way. :tank:

Its funny how a few spring practice reports and interviews have completely shut up the "Jalen sucks, Tua is going to start" crowd.

Right?

QBs all over the country are looking like All Americans during the Spring. The only way to know for sure that they've gotten better is when the live bullets fly come September. Ahhh Spring, when hope springs eternal.

Oh, no doubt.

But when you have a likely AA 3rd year safety as his teammate on the opposite side of the ball talking about how his ability to read and bait the safety has gotten much better, that's a little more substance than fluff.

GTFO of TT, hater.
