🏈 Team Update 3 August, 2015.

[bcracker]

Saban on ESPN today, talks about team chemistry and QB development/selection process.

When asked how the qb competition was going, Saban said they started the spring with 5 qb's taking reps. I took his statement to mean 5 are no longer taking reps. Has he culled the number, or am I reading too much into what he said? Is Bateman still taking reps?

He is kind of like scout team QB lol.

Is Cyrus Jones just implanted at the other corner? Is he just destroying everyone else to where five others are fighting for the other corner position?

George Whitfield is certainly talking Barnett up. Sounds like George is getting on the BB bandwagon.

so completely well rounded as a QB at a young age.

best 18 year old QB he's ever been around

Yes Cyrus is going nowhere unless he messes up big time. He is a solid corner.

Yes Whitfield is on board with BB and thinks he can do the job well.

 

[CrimsonBoz]

Drew and Whitfield agree: " You go with the best talent, if he performs in the scrimmages it's a done deal".

There you have it folks, let's see how this plays out.

Thanks @CrimsonBoz

Quite honestly at this point, if the info we know is even remotely correct, it almost is counter-intuitive to start any of the others over BB. If you're convinced the rest of the lot are a liability at QB, then why not give the keys to the guy who is going to be THE GUY for the next few seasons anyhow?

My buddy Drew is interviewing him today 1230 CST, www.977thezone.com

I appreciate you guys updating the board about the interview. I couldn't listen at work today. For some reason, I was thinking it was going to be an article.

Drew is big time. I always knew this is what he would wind up doing, but once it happened, it seems like it happened REALLY fast. I tried to tell the folks on Woolly last year when Drew breaking stories back to back to back that he was legit.

Drew is awesome! I talk to him a lot on twitter and It's real cool to hear his perspective on lot of things.

Aaron Suttles @AaronSuttles
Alabama OLB Ryan Anderson on Tosh Lupoi (@CoachLup): This spring and this camp I’ve learned more about OLB than I have since I’ve been here.
*look at Lance Thompson * you didnt do your job!

 

[Barnabus Stinson]

Can we just let JK Scott QB?

Poor fella.

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

Sorry but I didn't care for Thompson when he was here, when he left, when he came back, when he left...


He owes CNS more than what he lets on in the article. CNS is the one who got him on with CLK in Knoxville when he "needed" to leave T-town

Per Aaron Suttles, Tidesports.com

It was a hot day on the back field as the Tide worked its 11th practice of the fall camp and the last practice before the first scrimmage of fall camp. Here is what I saw during the limited viewing period.

Freshman offensive lineman Lester Cotton was absent from practice as he was last night. Again, it's a minor injury and nothing that will keep him for an extended period.

Marlon Humphrey continued being eased back into action but he still remains a bit limited. Chris Black again stood to the side and watched drills. He continues to wear a regular jersey in practice during the viewing period. I have to think he'll sit out of tomorrow's scrimmage. More on that as it becomes available.

There were scouts galore at practice, including three from the Buffalo Bills, and one each from the San Diego Chargers and Indianapolis Colts.

I'll have a closer look at the outside linebackers this evening. Tosh Lupoi is really raising the expectations.

The dime drills remains the same as the last two years.

Maurice Clarett is on campus to talk to the team tonight.

Barnett or Coker may throw like Barishnikov dances, but if shite got sticky...
I'd have no problem with Alec Morris.
