Spring Practice Thread/News/Predictions

[Ledsteplin]

I will go ahead and be that guy. It is bad for the defense though.

Maybe they just knocked the balls down, but didn't catch 'em.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Yeah, that was a problem last year. I don't expect that to be fixed in a few spring practices.

I 100 percent agree with you. I think we'll have issues for a while. I don't think we'll be shocked if they went to portal to get OL or 2... to boost depth.

I don' think anyone caught that...

I just know it's over. UAPD just finished the team escort back to Mal Moore.

DON'T do that to me! At first glance, I thought we had a major incident...

That's interesting. I hope it's nothing.

Any guess as to why he wasn't there?

Apparently James Brockermeyer has a real shot at being the starting center. Might even be the leader and we also might lose Brailsford to the portal.

 

[Ledsteplin]

CKD did say the pass rush gave the offense problems so there's that. I think the tackles need more work.

Probably. But we also may have the best defensive line in college football. That has to be a big part of it. But the OL likely do need to step up their effort.

So if Brailsford jumps to the portal, who is next up to backup Brock?

Idk. I also don't know for sure that he's gone. 🤷‍♂️. Allegedly he wasn't at the scrimmage yesterday or something. Information is pretty scarce though

Good for him, hard work and perseverance, what a concept. Sorry to see his brother had to give up football. Sometimes the DOC just says, that's it for you.

Man! If so, he must have decided before the first scrimmage...

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

The portal is so out of control!🧐

But who will (or can) fix it?

 

[Tiderollin32]

Best news is if BrockerMeyer is beating him in the competition this is fantastic news. Hope he doesn’t leave but others will join.

 

[Cruloc]

Maybe Brailsford figured he'd transfer and be the guy right off the bat here. Brockermeyer said....not so fast my friend.

 

[Ledsteplin]

So if Brailsford jumps to the portal, who is next up to backup Brock?

Good question. I don't know if any of the OLinemen have experience at center. Or a defensive lineman with high school experience at center. Definitely need to take a hard look in the portal. Maybe find another Bozeman or Kelly.

 

[CB4]

I heard Rodney Orr say earlier this week one possible area of focus when the portal opened was o-line, particularly at tackle. We were a little thin, depth wise. I guess we might need to add a center to that wish list.

 

[day-day]

I keep checking this thread; has DeBoer released a depth chart for the upcoming season?

Maybe I should ask Coach Saban?

 

[Ledsteplin]

Well, this is just YouTube talk. There's no evidence Parker is transfering out. He might, but we don't know his reason for not being at scrimmage. His reason may have nothing to do with transfering. All we know is he wasn't injured. But he could have been sick in some way. There's a lot of speculation swirling around. Time will tell. I hope he stays.

both guards
