Fall Camp Nuggets: Inside look at Alabama’s first scrimmage
Alabama held its first fall scrimmage on Saturday. Media was not allowed to attend the closed practice. BOL provided details regarding several top performances which was highlighted by several newcomers.
The Crimson Tide will host its second fall scrimmage on Saturday (also closed to the media). Alabama did not practice on Monday. It will return to the field on Tuesday with practice each day this week. The players will have an off day on Sunday.
“I thought our guys did a good job running to the ball, tackling,” Coach Kalen DeBoer said after scrimmage. “There’s also the other side of it too, you want to see who can make people miss when you create space for them. There’s a time or two where the offense should win. They’re out in wide open space, and you’ve got to make that guy miss.
“It’s how the defender knows where his help’s at, knows where the sideline’s at, and uses those things to minimize what that gain’s gonna be. It’s all about football and the situation and that’s why I emphasize to our team right there at the end of practices, these football moments and situations you’re in, understanding them.”
