I think cotton is plenty strong, but he struggles to get low enough to make a good interior push. Needs to learn to use better leverage.

Lester Cotton was back to participating in drills and appeared to line up at right tackle with the first group when they hit the sleds. The left side and center remained the same, but he was joined with a new face in Deonte Brown at right guard with the first unit.
I mean, we have enough guys with talent to spread around. I bet we'll be watching then tinker with the line until the end of fall camp, maybe somewhat through next season.

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong. I just quoted your post because it specifically mentioned the RG position.

Absolutely. Hell, Jedrick Wills may come in this summer and blow everybody away.

Cotton is one of the strongest players on the team accusing to spring testing

Jedrick Wills might have something to say about either of the jobs on the right side. He has been adamant about being a tackle during his recruitment and he may yet be one but he is a big boy that could be an elite guard.

If he had any part in beating that kid he needs to be gone.

quote:
Alabama returned to the field Wednesday as it continued spring drills in full pads.
Under overcast skies with the temperature 78 degrees, the Crimson Tide prepared for its second scrimmage that will take place Friday.
Here are some observations from the limited media access period Wednesday:
-- Both Rashaan Evans and Dylan Moses, two inside linebackers, were working with the outside linebackers in individual drills. Evans would later move back to his usual position when the back seven of the defense went through the motions in the nickel package. It should be noted that both Evans and Moses have the capability to play inside and outside. It's also conceivable Alabama is preparing Evans and Moses for the "nickel rabbits" package that the Tide used with great efficacy against Tennessee last season. In that set, former inside linebacker Reuben Foster was positioned as an edge rusher.
-- Ben Davis, who has been slotted at outside linebacker, traded places with Evans and Moses. He was working with the inside linebackers.
-- Defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand had a brace on his left knee.
-- Running backs B.J. Emmons (foot) and Bo Scarbrough (leg) continued to wear black, non-contact jerseys. So did linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton (knee) and cornerback Jared Mayden (hip). All were participating in drills with the exception of Hamilton.
-- The team's first-team nickel formation included cornerbacks Trevon Diggs, Tony Brown and Anthony Averett as well as safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ronnie Harrison.
-- The second-team nickel package featured cornerbacks Aaron Robinson, Shyheim Carter and Levi Wallace as well as safeties Deionte Thompson and Hootie Jones.
-- ESPN analysts Marcus Spears and Greg McElroy, who both played for Alabama coach Nick Saban, were in attendance.

I'm gonna wait until I hear everything before I pass judgment

I wasn't referring to weightroom numbers, he doesn't play with that same strength in a phonebooth position like Guard.

I am as well. this situation reminded me of the Eddie Williams and Co. incident from 2013.

You don't get the full story yet you're already placing judgment.
Amazes me that fights don't deserve explanations, guilty as charged without a need to hear the other side.... but deadly shootings?
Always an explanation or justification

Here is what his dad tweeted last night:
As I posted last night on BOL, this "incident" apparently involved a shite load of people.
The only "famous" person there was Deionte Thompson, who by all accounts is a great kid. Well guess who gets their name thrown in out of all these participants in a brawl?
Coincidence?
Posted on 4/14/17 at 8:54 am to TideSaint
Well, well, well. I was wrong. Deionte wasn't the only Alabama player in Texas on Spring Break:
Ronnie Harrison was there as well.
Now. I gotta ask. Does it look like Deionte Thompson beat the shite out of someone with hands looking like that?

Ugh, I get it, but the gang signs make me cringe kind of.
