Spring practice begins on Saturday, so let's all get up to speed on what to watch for. This thread will encompass spring and fall practice, so you can come here for all the Bama updates you need.
Before we begin, we all need to show our gratitude to the football gods that the sun has still gone up every day after that one day in January (and November), and a new football season is finally upon us. We will be a top 10 preseason team loaded lots of talent both young and old ('sup Jai?), a big-armed mercenary at QB, Lane fricking Kiffin calling the plays, Nick Saban at the reigns, a yellowhammer in one hand and a drunk sorostitute in the other.
Let's get this party started.
So let's get down to business with some positional breakdowns and things to watch for:
Linebackers
Safeties
Cornerbacks
Defensive Line
Offensive Line

Alabama will hold their first practice on March 15. As has been the pattern, practice will be interrupted by the University of Alabama's spring break March 21-28, resuming the following week.
The annual A-Day Game is the fifteenth and final practice of the spring. It will take place on Saturday, April 19 with kickoff at 1 pm CT. The game will be televised by ESPNU. Replays will likely be available on espn3.com.
Admission will once again be free to the public. Traffic and parking will follow regular game day guidelines. More information will be available on uagameday.com as the date draws nearer.

Dat front 7 as a whole tho

RB has the most talent, especially if Bo qualifies.
Posted on 3/13/14 at 7:20 pm to AllBamaDoesIsWin
We have a lot of linebackers. The answer to your question is not the center position.
Posted on 3/13/14 at 10:31 pm to bigpapamac
I think center will be one of the strengths on the line the next few years but the LB and RB corps have the most talent.
My favorite thread to follow on the year besides the recruiting thread. Nice to see that time roll around again.

I'm most curious this year to see if and how our defense changes. We have so many elite fast twitch guys on the front 7, this should be the year we show up against HUNH teams.
Posted on 3/14/14 at 12:47 am to ILoveLamp
WE are absolutely LOADED at WR too. I don't get why all of you are underrating this team. This will be one of the best teams we've had in years if Jake can just be AVERAGE at least.

WR is definitely loaded, but LB and RB are more so IMO
Posted on 3/14/14 at 6:55 am to ILoveLamp
There is so much speed on this team. At all levels.
Posted on 3/14/14 at 6:43 pm to Swm323
OT aint to bad either.

Derrick Henry is actually up 3 lbs to 241 this spring, per UA’s roster. And, yes, he’s still an incredible 6-3. Dude’s a load at RB.

Big OL Brandon Hill did some work, shedding15 pounds to get to 370. He came in to Alabama a year ago pushing 400 pounds.

Alex Scarborough ?@AlexS_ESPN 48m
Some other noticeable weight changes: M. Smith +15, Liner +14, Tomlinson +12, E. Jackson +13, G. Smith +11, Tenpenny +11, Reuben Foster -8.
