I saw that in an article recently, thought it was a mistake.

Faciane must block like a woman. They're about the same size and the only thing that makes sense to me is that they haven't found a big blocking TE

Maybe Fanning just wants to suplex someone his own size

From this morning:
quote:
What we saw
-- After two seasons as a defensive end, LaMichael Fanning opened Friday's practice with the tight ends and H-backs. He went through blocking drills during the first period and ran routes during the final two we were able watch. He caught a few passes, dropped some others. Fanning, who redshirted his first year and played sparsely last season, dropped a lot of weight during the offseason and looks to be even trimmer. He's currently listed at 6-foot-7 and 270 pounds. I'm sure Nick Saban will address the permanence of this move after practice.
-- Also with the H-backs and tight ends was Jalston Fowler, who looks to be running well on his surgically repaired knee. Fowler did this during last year's preseason, but he would often split time with the running backs. He didn't do that today, at least during the portion of practice we were able to watch.
-- Injured linebackers Trey DePriest (foot) and Xzavier Dickson (knee) were back and looking healthy. So was defensive lineman Wilson Love (concussion), wide receiver Kevin Norwood (toe), cornerback John Fulton (toe) and wide receiver DeAndrew White. Dickson, who had his right knee wrapped, was with the outside linebackers. C.J. Mosley, who wore a black non-contact jersey during the spring, was in red.
-- After spending the opening portions of practice with the cornerbacks during the spring, Christion Jones was with the wide receivers. Both Jones and Chris Black took passes out of the slot.
-- Despite not playing the position last season, Cyrus Jones was practicing with the veteran cornerbacks.
-- Dee Hart was with the running backs, joining T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake. The rest will practice tonight.
-- AJ McCarron, Blake Sims and Alec Morris were the quarterbacks at the veterans practice.

If you'll put fall practice, I'll sticky it.

In answer to a couple of queries: Leon Brown was among the offensive tackles this morning at UA practice.

I guess he's still on the team
Who knows if he'll contribute, though

I've been one of the biggest fretters over what we have at TE but the Fanning switch pisses me off. We've invested 2 years into making him a DE and now that he's set to contribute there we're going to move him? And if we were going to move him, why wasn't he working there in the spring?

Let's wait and see what's up. It's the first practice and they're just in shorts.
eta- younger guys aren't even reported yet, right?

Maybe he's nursing an injury. Doesn't Saban move players to different positions temporarily, if they are coming off an injury?

No injury that I know of. There was a thread on another site a couple weeks ago talking about him moving to TE. I called bs
I recognize that TE is a weak position for us, but I think he could be a terror at DE

I really hope we aren't doing this because we have no quality TE.
Damn, just put OJ out there and see what happens.

TE group either an area of concern or about to commit murder on opposing defenses. Fowler & Fanning are 2 of best pure athletes on the team.
