I think, the major problem last year against the auburn, texas a&m, and okla was the coverage on the corners of the field. bama has always been strong inside the tackles, but last year they were bad. we had no legitimate cornerbacks to support the run or pass on the sidelines. how many missed tackles occurred in those games. I noticed teams for the first time getting wide on our defense with success. our outside linebackers did not do well either on the corners, guarding the sidelines. I am still concerned with the secondary, off line more than other aspects of the team. job in progress. the key do we have enough time with injuries to the one area we need help occurring. thank goodness, we have at least 3 early season games to get ready.

Agree, but our approach at d-line was problematic, as was the loss of Tomlinson.

Cam Sims got popped pretty good and noticeably was hurting even several plays later, but didn't look serious. DeAndrew White was on the sidelines without pads and did not play, not sure about him. B Sims did play well, other notables in my mind were Chris Black, Derrick Henry, and the defense in general. The defense was dominating the offense early on, eventually the offense did get in a rhythm tho.

Deandrew is still recovering from a should surgery. They've rested him most of the Spring.

Any stats on the kicking game?

Griffith really struggled last week, and I'm interested to see if he was able to shake off a poor performance.

I'm told that that's been a real issue for him. As in, he gets down on himself after misses, which leads to more misses, and a vicious downward cycle.

If true, that's not good. A fg kicker needs a very short memory!!!

Kicking game was not good.

Is it just me, or do we have more than our fair share of "world beater" PK`s in high school who come in and have lots of trouble ? I`m sure it`s a big adjustment and it might just be my imagination anyway.

We don't seem to have the good fortune with kickers some others have enjoyed. Of course, it is a variable position since we take 1 every other year max.

Tuesday practice report. There was a shakeup on the OL.

Watched the offensive line for a good chunk of the first period. Cam Robinson and Brandon Greene each took turns working alongside the rest of the first group (LG Arie Kouandjio, C Ryan Kelly, RG Leon Brown, RT Austin Shepherd). The second group was LG Bradley Bozeman, C Paul Waldrop, RG Alphonse Taylor and RT Grant Hill.)

Channelling Leigh Tiffin early career?

Big Cam coming on strong...

Thursday practice report

Two absences were notable on the Alabama running back line. Neither Kenyan Drake, nor Altee Tenpenny were spotted during the briefer-than-usual media viewing period. T.J. Yeldon still leads the line followed by Derrick Henry. No explanation was given for the two missing backs, but Nick Saban speaks after practice. Stay tuned for that.

From Saban's presser:

Kenyan Drake and Altee Tenpenny weren't at practice because they didn't do what they were supposed to do in the classroom. Saban said he sent them to study for four hours instead of practicing Thursday. He got fired up talking about the responsibilities of the classroom.

Sounds like they better bust their tails before finals week.

TideMan09 · Apr 18, 2014

Looks like Peyton Manning made a visit to practice to give advice on how to stop theses HUNH offenses & we gave him some advice about something that was helpful to him..While I hated him when he played at Tennersee, dude is one of the absolute best to ever play the game, will be happy to listen to what he says, on how to slow down the HUNH offenses..Coach Saban doesn't allow hatred to stand in his way to win NC's at Bama & I for one am grateful he has that attitude..Still hate the viles with every ounce of my soul though..

Tenpenny crawls further into Saban's doghouse. He needs to straighten up in a hurry.

BamaMoon · Apr 18, 2014

Kenyan Drake will never realize his potential until he decides to get with "the process."

His position on the depth chart sounds like it may be more about disciplinary issues than not holding on to the ball!

Drake seems to live there.
