''We run practice just like a college program,'' Williams said.

I thought it was the opposite. I thought Saban ran a pro-style practice while in college.
 
Well, the only college programs that Bobby has been with have been Saban's.

That is an interesting thought. I have always heard was that one of the main reasons for staying in college for 4 years was b/c in the pros there is less learning of the fundementals and more about learning complicated playbooks, and how to attack complicated defenses. By going over the basic fundementals, even at a fast pace, it drills into your mind how to do things correctly. Do it until it becomes habit. At the speed of the NFL you don't have time to think. Once everything becomes habit you can spend more time on preparing for the opponent....or at least that is my theory.
Maybe THAT is why Nick's practices seem more like college. He is actually teaching.

Sounds reasonable: http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/01/05/sports/nfl.php

Saban, straight-faced throughout his 40-minute news conference, maintained that his methods were transferable to the pro game because they involve a proven formula for players to improve. Yet he balked at being called a disciplinarian.

Very good point - or the ones for the last 10 years at least.

That's one of the reasons Saban cited for our large coaching staff. He wanted to have the ability to develop players that still needed coaching. During the season those guys are usually an afterthought to the weekly prep. In Saban's system there are coaches that continue to coach those players unlikely to be involved in the upcoming game on the fundamentals.
 
He learned last season that no matter how much he outlined expectations for rookie running back Ronnie Brown, things only seemed to improve once Ricky Williams rejoined the team.

''I've never been around a guy that practices at the tempo this guy practices at,'' he said of Ricky Williams. ``He would take a simple play and he was 40 to 50 yards down the field, every run that he had.''

WOW!! i can't believe so many missed this little jewel!! am i on the right
board? this coach supporting ricky over ronnie brown and no one even
flinches?

wheres all the "bobby williams sucks" and "who does this idiot think he is"
and "what a moron" and "if he wasn't better, saban would never have
drafted him" posts?

where is all the hatred for coah williams? the venom, the anger? the outcry?

where are all the SABANISTS? is the moon not full?

and i do agree with him. ricky was the catalist last year and we will see
a big hole without him this year.
