re: Bama Football Tidings

I was interested in the article but when I saw that Barrett Sallee wrote it, I stopped reading.

Alabama Football's Golden Flake A-Day Game Set for April 17

The University of Alabama, in conjunction with the Southeastern Conference, announced Wednesday that the 2021 Golden Flake A-Day Spring Football Game will be played on Saturday, April 17. The game will kick off at 12 p.m. CT and will be televised on ESPN.

The annual A-Day Game is the 15th and final practice of the spring and takes place at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Additional details on A-Day will be announced when they become available.

Yes. Here's a little of what I've learned over the last few weeks.

The foundation of the offense is being put in place now through film study. O'Brien doesn't believe they'll have the entire offense installed this spring and doesn't see the need. It's all about knowing where they are going with their offensive philosophy.

The concept of what they'll be doing this fall is changing a bit; some due to personnel and some due to what fits O'Brien's offensive style. In simpler terms where we saw the team score on four possessions last year, we'll see that in seven this season. The term I've heard used on a few occasions is "deliberate."

The one side note to this I find interesting. We're looking at watching a defense that has some quality experience in all three units as well as depth. It's one that should be able to stay on the field, and fresh, in the fourth quarter. And now we're also looking at an offensive approach that'll keep them off the field longer.

I'm hearing a lot of great things from the players side. I appreciate how it's being relayed. When you have someone teaching something new while explaining "we're doing it this way because..." AND the students/players like and relate to how it's being broken down? There's your foundation.

I have to agree.... if one school has no limitations, then the others can't have limitations....
If Byrne calls you, tell him I vote to open Bama's A day game to capacity... let's set a new record

Other changes:
Other players that will be wearing new numbers this spring are safety DeMarcco Hellams, who changed from No. 29 to No. 2, quarterback Paul Tyson, from No. 15 to No. 17, running back Trey Sanders, from No. 24 to No. 6 and offensive lineman Javion Cohen, from No. 57 to No. 70. As things currently stand, Tyson and freshman wide receiver Agiye Hall are both wearing No. 17, which means they cannot be on the field together at the same time during games.
