Coach Saban is doing his post scrimmage presser so transcripts should be available soon


More frustrated remarks about Billingsly and whatever internal situation is occurring with him.

Sound like he wasn't giving his best effort during practice.

On the upside, positive stuff on Battle's leadership, Will Anderson doing his thing, and along with Metchie, Williams and Slade, JoJo Earle got a mention by name.

Looks like Oline is coming together but still has some work to do.

Billingsley has to be the only unvaccinated player.

Dalcourt is a better center than Owens. He's a better athlete. I won't be shocked if Dalcourt makes a move soon. Just my opinion.

Possible, but I go not think IF he is, that is the major problem.

At least with the Billingsley stuff, we know Bryce has a strong connection with Latu already.

Absolutely. Always one or two every year that don't buy in. It's a shame, he has tremendous talent, and is hurting himself as well as the team.

Scrimmage nuggets:
quote:

-- Quarterback Bryce Young threw for roughly 195 yards and a pair of touchdowns as he guided the first-team offense. One of the touchdowns was an 80-yard pass and catch to receiver John Metchie, while the other was a short pass to tailback Jase McClellan (4 yards).

-- Quarterback Paul Tyson threw for roughly 125 yards and a touchdown while he again led the second-team offense. The touchdown was a 60-yard throw to wideout Jameson Williams, who head coach Nick Saban said is a player that has made “a big impact” this preseason.

-- Like last week, a couple of offensive line starters were held out of the scrimmage -- this time it was right guard Emil Ekiyor and right tackle Kendall Randolph, who is sidelined by a sprained ankle. That meant the first-team O-line was Evan Neal at left tackle, Javion Cohen at left guard, Chris Owens at center, Tommy Brown at right guard and JC Latham at right tackle.

-- I didn’t hear much about Darrian Dalcourt or Damieon George, suggesting they might have been held out, as well, as the second-team line consisted of tackles Tommy Brockermeyer and Pierce Quick, guards Amari Kight and Tanner Bowles and center Seth McLaughlin.

-- A couple of other players that didn’t scrimmage included linebacker Shane Lee and safety DeMarcco Hellams (ankle). Hellams had been having a strong preseason, but he was replaced by a player that has generated a lot of buzz in Brian Branch. However, Branch and tailback Jase McClellan met for a big collision, but Saban said there were no significant injuries.

-- Sticking with the running backs, Brian Robinson and Roydell Williams found the end zone on Saturday from five and three yards out, respectively. McClellan and Trey Sanders both saw a lot of work out of the backfield, with Sanders continuing to put together a solid preseason.

-- In terms of turnovers, each of the quarterbacks tossed at least one interception in the game. Cornerback Marcus Banks picked off Young, while linebacker Dallas Turner intercepted Tyson. Cornerback Josh Jobe had at least one interception against freshman Jalen Milroe. 

-- Linebacker Will Anderson remains a problem for opposing offenses, including UA’s. This quote from Saban says it all: “He’s been really good. Will’s probably the guy that creates more havoc for our defense in terms of his ability to pass rush. He’s a more complete player now.”

-- Closing things out with special teams, James Burnip and Ty Perine handled punts, with Burnip having the better day. Will Reichard and Jack Martin both attempted field goals and kickoffs. In the return game, freshman JoJo Earle was the primary punt returner, while several players were back deep on kickoff returns. Earle has also had a good preseason at receiver.

Alabama will have Sunday off before returning to the practice field on Monday, Aug. 23.
