Surprised we haven't really heard anything about Hill. Big opportunity for Taylor with Brown out.

--Sophomore cornerback Eddie Jackson went through his second straight practice. This is significant because it shows Jackson is progressing and didn’t have any setbacks after the contact on Friday.
--There was no sign of Alabama's suspended players -- Jarran Reed, Brandon Ivory and Tim Williams.
--Even without Reed and Ivory, Alabama's defensive line group is full of able bodies. A'Shawn Robinson, Jonathan Allen and Dalvin Tomlinson are leading drills. Robinson is lining up inside.
--Blake Sims continues to lead the quarterback group. Alec Morris rejoined the quarterbacks after spending Friday’s early session with the punters. Morris worked at quarterback with the newcomers Friday night.
--All five running backs -- T.J. Yeldon, Derrick Henry, Kenyan Drake, Altee Tenpenny and Tyren Jones -- were all at practice.
--Jalston Fowler and Corey McCarron worked at fullback.
--Offensive lineman Leon Brown was spotted rehabbing in the training room. Brown is out with a foot injury.
--The first offensive line group remained the same with Austin Shepherd at right tackle, Alphonse Taylor at right guard, Ryan Kelly at center, Arie Kouandjio at left guard and Cam Robinson at left tackle.
--After working on the right side on Friday, JUCO transfer Dominick Jackson worked on the left side. Jackson worked at left tackle behind Robinson and Brandon Greene. Having Jackson learn multiple position will help if any injuries occur.
--Reggie Ragland and Reuben Foster led the inside linebacker group. Trey DePriest worked in the second line with Ryan Anderson.
--Denzel Devall is leading the JACK linebackers while Dillon Lee is leading the SAM linebackers.
--Speaking of Lee, he was very vocal, giving instructions to younger teammates during drills.
--Rashaan Evans is working at JACK linebacker while Christian Miller is working at SAM linebacker. Keith Holcombe worked at inside linebacker.
--Dakota Ball worked at tight end for the second straight day.
--Outside linebackers coach Lance Thompson praised Miller and Evans for their hustle through drills, saying “The young bucks will show me a burst.”
--At cornerback, Cyrus Jones and Bradley Sylve were the first through drills.




Few things. First of all, Evans/Miller have the desire that TB has shown and we've heard about from Hump. This class will be special. We're talking big time athletes who want to be great.

Hump is insanely fluid. Once Saban coaches him up, we're talking about one of the greats. Eddie Jackson was moving really well. Walsh was impressed by how he moved according to TSWSNBN.

If this team minimizes mental errors...wow. And most of it returns next year too.

Me too. I imagine he's competing at LG/RG/RT. RG has a big vacancy now. Of course Dom Jackson may take that. If so, then maybe we can get Hill at LG or RT. He played a lot with the 1s last year.

Only thing I've heard about G.Hill is the big weight gain. RG will be the spot to watch each practice. I think Hill is at RT

Not sure why they are working with Dom at LT other than to test his limits. He must be very athletic if they are giving him a look.
