Title: "Alabama practice report: Kenyan Drake moving positions again" Post by: WALL-E on August 12, 2015, 03:30:03 PM Alabama practice report: Kenyan Drake moving positions again
Title: Re: "Alabama practice report: Kenyan Drake moving positions again" Post by: 2Stater on August 12, 2015, 04:02:12 PM Quote Kenyan Drake, who suffered a broken leg against Ole Miss last season, received a good amount of work with the receivers during drills on Wednesday. The talented athlete should get reps at both running back and in the slot this season for the Tide. During Wednesday's practice, Drake broke away from the rest of the running backs to work on intermediate to longer routes with the quarterbacks. Not surprisingly, Drake looked natural doing so. They need to utilize him early and often, in as many roles as they can. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "Alabama practice report: Kenyan Drake moving positions again" Post by: bamaphil on August 12, 2015, 04:44:32 PM Quote Kenyan Drake, who suffered a broken leg against Ole Miss last season, received a good amount of work with the receivers during drills on Wednesday.

If he could throw to himself, then we'd really have something!

Title: Re: "Alabama practice report: Kenyan Drake moving positions again" Post by: pmull on August 13, 2015, 11:42:48 AM Remember the first offensive play of the game against Florida. KD lined up at RB and shifted to the slot creating a mismatch since he was covered by a LB. Result: 80 yd TD and he was open by 20 yds. I give Kiffin credit for knowing what the defense was going to do and taking advantage of it.
Kiffin offense = creating mismatches and getting the ball to your playmakers. Title: "See how the Tide's receivers, including talented freshman Calvin Ridley, are looking in practice."

We can't put the whole game on KD's back and expect to win he can be moved around and that is good. He needs to be used as a drawing point most of the time though. I really am open to hear what others think on this idea. RTR!

Title: Re: "Alabama practice report: A few QB notes as two-a-days end" Post by: ricky023 on August 17, 2015, 10:41:32 PM -- Kenyan Drake was still off to the side watching with a hamstring injury. It was his third practice without action during the media viewing period.
This worries me about KD because I know timing is going to be off without reps. I hope he can heal quickly and the other bumps and bruises are kind of worrisome because they need the practice time to hone in the sharpness. JMHO. RTR! |
