Meh, Dont thank me. I dont post on here as much as I have been lately. I am more rant oriented most of the time, I like the bama board during recruiting season. Thank Chatta, Saint, and others. They are consistent

The next posts will be coming from Drew D. TIFWIW

The winter conditioning program is in top gear right now. The EE’s start the 4th Qtr portion of the program 2/9/15 and the upper classman start it a week later on 2/15/15. For those that need clarification, the 4th Qtr portion of the off season program is just 60 mins of non stop agility and running that is performed 4x per week for 2 weeks. The players still lift weights on a Mon/Thurs Tues/Fri lifting schedule.

Strongest Players on the Team- I am told these are the top 4 guys in no particular order. Darren Lake, Bradley Bozeman, Jarren Reed and Dominick Jackson.

Sugar Bowl- Sources indicate that several factors played into this loss. The main one being that CNS felt that he needed to get the players ready to play 2 ball games over the 20 bowl practices. Not only did the prep for OSU, but the also prepped for Oregon and FSU as well. The mental fatigue of this combined with what current players claim as “dead legs from too much work” is thought to be the main reasons for the loss.

Defensive Backs- 2 seperate sources on the team indicate that this position group is very motivated to not be considered the weak link on the defense for 2015. Great leadership and chemistry being built right now. I was told a sleeper candidate a S to watch for is Johnathon Cook. Tony Brown, Marlon Humphrey and Bradley Sylve are splitting time between football and indoor track right now. Yesterday they where at a meet in New Mexico. In a short meeting, new DB’s coach Mel Tucker got positive reviews.

Linebackers- The players feel like it will be Lee, Ragland, Reuben and Devall going into spring. Lee is thought of as the meanest player on the team and is known to pick out a new walkon each practice to torture each day. Dont count out Shaun Dion Hamilton at Reuben’s spot either. Right now he is highly motivated and catching hell daily for the crack back block that got put on him vs OSU on the long Elliot run. Reuben was puppy shopping (Pitbull) yesterday afternoon.

Defensive line- This unit will set the tone for the defense in 2015. This is a money year for Reed and Pettway and possibly for Robinson and Allen as well. JC NG Jonathon Taylor is working hard and fitting in well.

Quarterbacks- The news continues to be mixed on this group. While they are not Lane Kiffin, the current players are not high on Bateman at all. they think Coker has all the tools, but like the fans are concerned about the slow decisions. I am told that Cornwell showed up last year with a case of cockiness and right now Barnett has the same virus. Have heard several times “if we can just find a decent QB we will be in the mix again.”

Offensive line- Starting to sound like a bright spot. Pencil in Cam Rob at LT. R Kelly at C and Dom Jackson at RT. Some current DL claim tht Jackson just needs to clean up some technique issues like hand placement, but he is thought of as a guy that can hurt you when he does the little things right. The two open OG spots will be fought over by Bozeman, Grant Hill, Shank Taylor and Josh Casher. Some think Pierscbacher might still need some more S&C work. Brandon Kennedy and Dallas Warmack are both on campus and working hard. Kennedy is the longer of the 2 and looks 6’3? ish and lean. Dallas does not have his brothers power or mass at this stage and looks 6’2? 290.

Running Backs- The story here continues to be a kid named Bo. Tide fans already know what Henry and Jones can do so we will share some more on this growing urban legend, Yesterday Bo was a focal point of Junior Day and was measured at 6’2? and weighed in at 237. One source that saw him said “My god he is just as big as Henry.” For Alabama basketball fans Bo is a cousin of current UA forward Jimmie Taylor. The whole family is from the Greensboro area and Bo and his Mom only moved to Tuscaloosa when he was in Middle School. One of the first things people notice about Bo is how big his hands are. When someone asks him about them Bo says “Yall know who Jimmie Taylor is ? Well that’s my cousin and I used these hands to dunk on him anytime I want to. Dont let Jimmy lie to you about it either, he knows its true.” Note: Bo is very fond of the zone stretch play that Henry had success with in the Sugar Bowl.

Wide Receivers- Current players are excited about the size and ability of the 2015 WR group. Foster 6’3?, Sims 6’4? Falkins 6’4? Keif 6’4? and mix in the shifty burners like Black and Stewart. They all know who Ridley is and are looking forward to seeing him join the 7-on-7 practices at the end of May.

Tight Ends-the key will be O.J. Howard becoming a tougher player both mentally and physically. He was a liability as a blocker in the running game and did not become the play-maker many thought he would in the offensive system of Lane Kiffin. This offseason will be HUGE for him. Also, watch for the development of Brandon Greene, who came on at the end of the 2014 season. Tight End will VERY likely be his permanent home, which means the staff needs to get his weight down to the 275-280 range in order to be more effective as an in-line tight end, instead of 300+ like that of an offensive tackle.

If Dom is the RT I'd like Casher at LG and Grant Hill at RG.

Not surprising. Taylor learned the finer points of the game from Anthony Grant.
