I presume Saban wanted Drake on the coverage unit because he must have felt it reduced the chance for a big return. Drake was certainly the first one on scene in that play. It would be interesting to see the opinions if the Bullies had broken a long return with a healthy Drake standing on the sideline.
I'm very glad that Drake will probably be back for the *really* big games assuming we get that far. For now, we will get a preview of next year, with Bo and Damien getting reps in practice and gametime. This can only help us down the road and it may turn over a stone that Saban might not have looked under this season.
