Still the biggest RB on the team.
Although after seeing the side by side picture I would have guessed otherwise.

-- Black jerseys remained the same: CB Dee Hart, LB C.J. Mosley, RB Jalston Fowler and WR DeAndrew White.
-- Alabama practiced in full pads for the second consecutive day. The practice was held inside the Hank Crisp Facility because of chilly, wet weather. It's the second time already Alabama hasn't been able to practice outside this spring.
-- CB John Fulton is much closer to returning from his toe injury than WR Kevin Norwood, who continues to wear a cast on his left foot and use crutches to walk. It appears Fulton had his surgery about two months earlier than Norwood.
-- S Jarrick Williams is wearing a brace on his right knee but is moving very well. Don't forget about him when you draw up your mock depth charts.
-- CB Deion Belue is wearing some sort of pad/harness on the upper part of his right leg to support his hamstring. He's moving fine and it doesn't appear to be slowing him down.
-- No changes among the three new cornerbacks. Hart, Christion Jones and Cyrus Jones remained with the DBs, though Christion Jones continues to wear a white offense jersey.
-- Xzavier Dickson, meanwhile, was with the linebackers. That's twice we've seen him with the defensive line and twice with the linebackers so far this spring.
-- It's still hard to discern any sort of pecking order with the offensive line. Ongoing process.

So should we expect Dickson to just swap between Jack and End all year? When we're expecting a run I'd rather have him at Jack, personally anyway, than Devall or Allen.

It's for Spring practice, gotta try the move yet not pull him out of the loop for his old position in case it fails. He'd fall behind completely if he wasn't flipping daily.
It will probably depend on how he does at end and what his replacement does at JACK. They know what they have with Dickson at OLB, just have to monitor his successor and be comfortable his his talent level. They might move Hubbard to base JACK as well, which would require a more natural LB in the 3-4.
The situation that could very well be plausible is he switches to end and doesn't even start. Though you could pencil him in for '14 depending on the competition.
I think the latter is his better spot...

Also on Friday's practice, from DailyBamaBlog:
In a surprising twist (to me, at least), cornerback Bradley Sylve was practicing alongside returning starter Deion Belue, relegating Geno Smith to the second team in individual drills alongside Jabriel Washington. No word on if this is a permanent thing, but it is an interesting development at the very at least.
– In the tight end/H-Back rotation, Brian Vogler was leading the pack alongside Malcolm Faciane. It appeared that Harrison Jones and true freshman O.J. Howard were leading the second-team while Corey McCarron tries to fight his way into the rotation. The five have yet to be assigned to either the tight end of H-Back position for the fall, so no depth chart decisions can be made until those positions are relegated.
– This practice was the first time I have seen John Fulton without a protective boot on his foot as he nurses his toe injury. Both Fulton and wide receiver Kevin Norwood are trying to come back from toe injuries in time for some spring practice before A-Day. Norwood was still in crutches.
– Backup quarterback Blake Sims was practicing fully after doing nothing but spectating as recently as Monday. Why he was as inactive as he was on Monday in unknown, but he seems to be back to practicing normally.
– Wide receiver Christion Jones and running back Dee Hart continue to practice with the defensive backs.

Don't know if its been posted on the Bama board anywhere, but I saw on al.com that Phillip Sims had fallen to 3rd on the Virginia depth chart. The article was saying something about them having a new offensive coordinator and that had something to do with it. Regardless interesting to see how far he's fallen.

If this is true, I see John Fulton starting opposite Deion Belue to begin the season. I'm beginning to get worried about our depth at corner. At this point, our depth chart at CB consists of Belue, Fulton, Smith, a bunch of recently converted players from the offensive side of the ball, and several true freshmen. If Geno Smith is unable to step up his game, teams will exploit our secondary even worse than they did last year. I really wish they would have signed a stud JUCO CB because I'm not sold on these cornerbacks.
Posted on 3/25/13 at 7:51 pm to Bench McElroy
It'll be fine. The fact that we didn't sign a JUCO CB indicates to me that coaches are good with Belue, Fulton, Geno, Sylve, Washington, Mo, Cook, Jackson, Averett. Those 1st 4 will probably get most of the PT.

If AJ puts up 400 yards on A-Day, then be worried.

I wouldn't be. Fulton may not be back, the Safety/Money positions wouldn't be solidified, Saban is gonna purposely send the dogs after em, AJ has all of his targets ready (well KN may be out for the A-Day game) from last year and then some, and most importantly, ain't no one in the country gonna stop the OJ-Cooper train.

400 by AJ is unlikely but could happen. With 7 healthy QBs, 8 or so WRs, and only 3 healthy tailbacks on 2 teams, I expect 70/30 passing. Not sure AJ would get enough attempts though on his own. You have to figure 6 QBs play.
One of Brodie years we didn't even have enough QBs to have two teams right?
