Not expected to be long-term.

Will Brimfield has left the team. Fantastic. An O-lineman, of all people.

all expected with surgery recovery. Aaron Douglas continues to have “personal issues” that will cause him to miss some practice. William Brimfield is no longer with the team, mutual decision to part ways

But people who proved themselves for twelve games last year won’t be forgotten.

“Long term I’m not. But we do have some short-term concerns that really can’t be fixed. It’ll only be fixed in time.”

So how does Saban handle spring practice again?

It’s going to be physical. It’s not good practice to alter good practice for fear of injury. If you do that, you’ll be healthy but soft.

There will be a lot of hitting but not taking people to the ground, just wrapping them up on your feet. That actually helps tackling.

Having a good affect on the rest of the offense. Do they believe in you?

we had a ton of those 10+ play drives that ended up with no points pre-Georgia

I believe in scoring a lot of points and not letting the other team score

also from the saban school of thought…wonder what Kevin Cooper thinks about that

Play zone, play man, have junk blitzes, do everything.

wesrucker Dooley goes on the attack with questions he doesn’t like. I love this. Bring it, Doolander.

for any other sport?

A lot.
