Jaylen Waddle

I need air.

Saban isn't releasing the information. The stats are coming from former players who are privileged to be there.

Lowery is a former player.

Wasn't me

From another board:

IMO, I watched a playoff team go at it this afternoon. Here’s why...

* Our defense is plain nasty. Only depth at ILB worries me, but Jalen Moody took a big step forward today, with run stuffs, an interception and 2 pass breakups. Our secondary is outstanding. Savion Smith is a stud. Surtain and Jobe were with the 2s and we never skipped a beat. The Dline was as usual, but Phidarion Mathis and Johnny Dwight added to a dominating performance led by Davis, Buggs and QMan.

* We have a kicking game. Yes, we have a kicking game! Austin Jones had a solid day with a 48 yard FG (missed from 50) and he and Bulovus consistently kicked off deep in end zone. Jones gets great height in his kicks. The biggest improvement from spring to now, IMO, is from punter Skyler DeLong. BIG day. His backup from Huntsville nailed a few too. The main return men were Diggs and Waddle—damn he’s electric! No telling how many blocks Anoma will have in his career.

* We have no QB debate on offense. When Tua is in his groove, he may be unstoppable. Tua to Ruggs — OMG! However, Hurts has improved A LOT imo — this Enos guy is for real. Hurts still struggles going down field, but those 5 yard behind the receiver throws never occurred today. His short game was pretty damn good. Mac Jones had a decent day. The new guy from Arkansas had a tough day.

* OLline — Most of our OLine looked good today, but Jonah Williams was flat out outstanding! He taught young Anoma a few lessons today. Piersbacher’s snaps were right on the numbers.

* WRs had a good day, especially Ruggs. He’s an All American in waiting. The TEs were so so receiving, but Hentges has improved his hands and still a good blocker.

* Injuries — Jamey Mosley was out with a shoulder. I sat with Stephon Wynn’s parents for a while and said 4-6 weeks for Stephon. They think a certain RB from IMG will wear Crimson next year, too. No injuries in today’s scrimmage, but damn it was hot.

Newcomers: Surtain is as good as advertised. Moody really surprised me. Austin Jones can kick. 

Returnees: Jonah and Ruggs were outstanding. Johnny Dwight surprised me. Mathis too. Jerry Jeudy was very impressive.

So hold up a second. Slugger is singing praises for tua and hurts and saying how much hurts has improved, but another guy said tua had 4 tds and hurts had 3 picks, to which slugger had no comment. Slugger, not busting balls here and I appreciate any info, but can you please explain how exactly that the 2 qbs compared. Was it 4 tds vs 3 ints?

Read what I said about throwing behind receivers. Didn’t happen. One pic was poor throw...others were tipped. Hell, the JUCO DL returned a tipped interception 40+ yards for a TD. He looks like a stump — but stumps are faster. We will win another Natty with Tua, but we “could” win one with Hurts or Jones too.

How do you guys compare Jonah Williams to the Bama 1st round tackles of yesteryear?

Andre Smith, James Carpenter, Barrett Jones, DJ Fluker, Cyrus Kouandjio, and Cam Robinson to name the big names

Really excited about that O-line

I disagree
