GOODBREAD: Post-spring team tidbits - tight end

[Chase Goodbread]

*** How Alabama will use the tight end position this fall remains to be seen. If there are depth concerns -- and there well could be -- a healthy Jalston Fowler used in a fullback or H-back role could more or less cut those concerns in half. With the offensive line looking like less of a question mark following spring drills, the tight end position joins the secondary as the top two question mark areas for the Crimson Tide entering fall camp. Brian Vogler and Malcolm Faciane will be primarily faced with the task of replacing Michael Williams as an end-line blocking presence. ?Others look to fill the H-back role. Incoming freshman O.J. Howard showed on A-Day he is ready to contribute as a receiver, and one source close to the coaching staff said he is being groomed to be a significant part of the offense this fall. Whether he can block effectively week after week in the SEC remains to be seen. If he can't, Fowler playing more of an H-back role becomes all the more likely.
