Saban thoughts on WV game and game against FAU
http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2014/09/live_updates_from_nick_sabans_11.html
- On DeAndrew White: Probably out two weeks with a shoulder injury. ( That's okay, not a huge loss at this point.. As long we get him back for Florida game)
-- Jarrick Williams: Jones fracture in his foot. Played on it. He'll be out at least four weeks, Saban said. (Opens up room for Geno to play this week)
-- On Cyrus Jones: "Played really, really well. Made two good plays inside the 10-yard line."
- Saban said once Jones got matched up with Kevin White, White's production slowed down. "Smart guy, has poise to adjust."
( I thought He struggled, but I was wrong. After reading this comment, I went back and watched the game again, and Coach is right. My apologies guys!)
-- "I thought it was good ... I still don't hesitate to say there's a quarterback competition." (I told you guys! it's not over!)
-- Asked about defensive line getting pressure on QB, Saban mentions breakdowns at LB and secondary. "We have a lot to improve on defensively all the way around."
-- "I'm not disappointed. It is what it is. This is where we are. This is the starting point."
-- Saban mentions different formations West Virginia used flustered Reggie Ragland and Reuben Foster but both played better in the second half.
( I think all of us said same thing, and he confirmed that.)
Eddie Jackson will get reps for this week.. He will play this saturday. I know many of you are happy about that! It sounds like Slyve is done.
