"Alabama fall football practice: news and notes"

[2Stater]

Hopefully our CBs will develop faster than last year.
Unless we have strong CB play, our defense will suffer (again).

 

The reports coming out indicate that there is much improvement in the secondary, thanks to Coach Mel Tucker. I sure hope so.

Reading all this makes me want to body slam the microwave or something!

I'd rather stomp broccoli.

It's not nice to stomp healthy food.

Not a lot of news shared on the other sites, either, other than posters arguing about who is going to be the starting QB.

The link below is a practice report from Friday by 247 Sports. The quote pasted below is about Mel Tucker and the secondary. The report talks about all position groups.

- Cyrus Jones and Tony Brown were the first two cornerbacks up during multiple drills Friday. Recently-enrolled freshmen Minkah Fitzpatrick and Kendall Sheffield were taking reps behind them.

- Redshirt freshmen corner Marlon Humphrey appeared to be limited, as he hung back in the back of the line and did not participate in drills. He was not, however, wearing a black, no-contact jersey during practice.

- The safety group only consisted of six scholarship players on Friday. Geno Smith and Eddie Jackson were at the front of the line, followed by players like Laurence "Hootie" Jones, Ronnie Harrison, Jabriel Washington and recently-enrolled freshman Shawn Burgess-Becker.

- First-year defensive backs coach Mel Tucker seemed to be especially vocal when working with the safeties.

I'm reading on other forums that Cam Robinson was taken off the field today.  

Prayers that it's not serious.

There is some speculation that it's a broken foot, but this is all I can find.

Hearing from STRONG source that Cam Robinson is ok; injury not considered severe; #breathe

Word from insiders is that the injury is not serious. Cam may sit for a week, but is ok.

Lord please, the last thing we need this year is to begin with injuries to our top players. What could be done? More stretching or more warming up maybe, a couple laps around the field or up the steps. We use to run the steps and it was killer for leg building. RTR!

Watch Alabama's top returning RB Derrick Henry in practice

Derrick Henry has more returning yards than any other RB and expects to see major playing time in 2015. See how the former 5-star recruit has improved during the off-season. Read more...

[ricky023]

Not a lot to see here. He looked like he was just doing some slow cuts. I noticed the first ball and the 3rd one I think looked like they were kind of behind him. I always thought you lead that RB so he has speed headed north and south. RTR!
