After watching Saban's press conference today, it seems that Baldwin has a long way to go and hasn't bought in. I highly doubt we'll see him this season.


Here's what he said in case anyone was wondering:

quote:

Saban on offensive tackle Charles Baldwin: "A very good athlete. He’s got a lot of ability. He’s got a lot to learn. He’s got a long way to go. We’re going to continue to work with him, to get him to do things right, to get him to buy into doing things the way we need him to do them so he can have success here. I think it might take some time but we’ve got a lot of patience and got a lot of people around here that are willing to see what we can make work with him."

I was hoping Baldwin would come in a start for 2 years like James Carpenter did in 09-10. He might be another Leon Brown or Dom Jackson, get his shite together his first year and start the next.

Has anybody heard anything about Adonis Thomas or Anfernee Jennings getting into the rotation this upcoming season?

Adonis isnt ready yet IMO. He has to add weight from looking at the film out.

He has been strength program for just about a year, most players put on a lot of good weight the first year.

Is it just me, or is there unusually little info coming out of spring camp? I mean, it seems like we have literally learned nothing and usually we get bits and pieces of helpful info about players, the team, etc.

Agreed. This is the quietest spring in the Nick era.

On the flip side, no shitty news either, like a Jonathan Taylor or Eddie Williams situation. I'll take a quiet Spring.

I feel like there aren't many truly open positions this year. QB probably won't be decided in the Spring, and certainly won't be made public.

Outside of that, you've got a couple of OL spots, a safety spot, and a linebacker spot. The rest you can kind of just assume who will be starting

Are Tony Brown and Ronnie Harrison the top two to replace Geno Smith at the other safety spot?

I think Harrison starts opposite of E. Jackson. Brown has more suspensions coming, so I doubt he really finds a role until a few games into the season. I could see him coming on the field in nickel and dime.

What do y'all think the 2deep on Defense will look like.

Player, position and *rank would be nice.

Roll Tide!

Everyone should settle the heck down in regards to Baldwin. He just got here. He has the entirety of the spring as well as summer/fall camp to buy into what the coaches want him to do.
