Keelon got an extra rep with the running backs today and it was with EJ Crowell.

Hill did not take snaps with either Mack or Keelon.

Riley led drills with Mack and Dear led the other way with Keelon.

Apparently Keelon has been getting an extra rep with the running backs every practice.

Hill is either getting bumped down the depth chart or has gotten in trouble.

I just can not see Riley as a featured back. Change of pace guy? Sure, but not an every down runner.

I think the speed is there it’s just the vision. If he improves that he is a good one.

I don't know what kind of breakaway speed Riley has because I can't recall the last time we had a breakaway run from a tailback. I do know that Riley appears to be running at full speed when he takes the handoff which can be a good thing or a bad thing. He gives me Roy Upchurch vibes. He's an SEC level talent but I don't see starting tailback at Alabama.

I also get the feeling that he is going to be in a fierce battle with the freshman out of texas for the change of pace, throw it to him out of the backfield role. It's a position that we could end up needing all of them though

Riley seems to have really good vision and instincts.
Hes just limited in his natural talent whereas Dear and Crowell ooze it.

Kane was asked about D. Lee saying that they working on more press coverages. Kane said they didn't press as much last year for various reasons as they in did 24.

He said that when he met with Saban this off-season and Saban gave advice on 3rd down defense and pressing that they have been working on installing.

He was signed to build depth in the RB room. Hope all the guys we have can stay healthy.

He was ranked #85 overall in his recruiting class. He just flew under the radar for us because he's from Tuscaloosa.

Seeing a lot of TMobile stuff on things lately. Hope that isn't going to be our patch sponsor.

Maybe so. But i imagine they'd spend a good chunk. Cellular companies have huge ad budgets. TMobile is one of the biggest providers.

The days of cool looking jerseys are over. Its all about money now.

Third place cellular network provider is below the brand unless the price is right of course.

I, too, would prefer Mercedes due to the deep connections with the brand in the state (hell the county of the University itself).

Idk what it’s like in Alabama, but after years of suffering under AT&T and more recently Verizon, we reluctantly switched to T-Mobile and my lord what a difference it’s made for us

Better reception (we were lucky if we got 2 bars in our own house with Verizon), cheaper, support is better

It’s not 2015, those other two are simply relying on antiquated branding

Lots of talk about Mal Waldrep at guard today. Most people expect Sanders to win that battle but it might not work out that way. LG is an underrated position. My opinion, you want a stud at LG.

We haven't had a star player at that spot in a lot of years.
