Mostly Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Filling in for Aaron today at the open portion of practice. Alabama was in full pads on practice No. 18 of fall camp. It's been rainy most of the day and there was thunder in Tuscaloosa this afternoon, so they went inside.

  • As expected, Jake Coker was not participating today as he recovers from his foot injury. He was there but was off to the side with trainers.
  • Kenyan Drake was participating with the RBs today.
  • Saw Robert Foster make a nice catch both yesterday and today. He looks fluid and showed good body control to go up and get a ball (no coverage) as he comes back from that minor knee injury.
  • The offensive line was doing some three-man drills at the beginning in the following groups, from left to right: Cam Robinson/Ryan Kelly/Dominick Jackson, Ross Pierschbacher/JC Hassenauer/Bradley Bozeman, Korren Kirven/Brandon Kennedy/Brandon Greene.
  • I've been meaning to note for the last few days that Alphonse Taylor looks like one of the top backups on the offensive line. I don't know if I've seen him with the starting five yet, but he's been working with starters in two- and three-man drills. Would expect him to be a depth guy there, maybe at a couple positions.
No Saban today, but we should speak with him tomorrow evening. Stay tuned on Wednesday for that.
