I'll tell you, it's damn tough trying to see everything that's going on at TC these days. They are doing almost all of their team drills on the opposite side of the field, and then there's this covered "break area" in between the two fields. It's hard to get a great glimpse of everything....

What I did see was Feeley connect with Chambers {one arm grab down the sidline} on the opening play for what looked to be an 80 yard TD. Mare added the extra point. That was impressive...

The next drive the offense slowly made it's way down to around the 20, there was a nice over the middle catch by McMike on the drive, and then it stalled. Mare made a FG from there. Two drives 10 points, not bad....

Frerotte had his shot, and it wasn't as impressive this day. He did manage to move the chains a few time with some good throws, but he never got them into scoring position. Ricky is still running hard, and Morris was impressive tonight from what I saw during most of those offensive series...

Rosenfels was lackluster most of the day. He couldn't seem to find much of a connection on a consistant basis...

The defense got to the QB's a few times today. It was good to see them shut down the offense for the most part in today's practices. DT L. Chester is way out of shape. I know he's coming off an injury, but come on man, what I saw out there was a man defeated. He's got some serious work to do IMO....

I like what I saw. It's clear how tight a ship Saban is running when you're watching these guys practice. Everything is in motion, and the tempo is great. This is the way I always envisioned what a TC should be like. Saban is doing a very respectable job keeping these guys focused. I'm impressed...

For the most part that's about the most that I could see.....

PHINZ RULE!!!

There's so many players out there man, and it's far away. After each play you're like sitting there squinting just to see who made the play. the opposite side of the field is where everything is being done. I got to watch Turk punt, and Mare kick FG's for most of the time....

I think one of the LB's had a pick tonight but I'm not sure who it was. Maybe Spragan I think #59....

The OL is looking better. I still think that we need a new Center though. There were more poor exchanges today after the rain let up, and my personal opinion of McKinney right now isn't a good one. I think we can do better, and that position is far too important to just wing it with a guy like Seth at this stage. Unless the pre-season proves otherwise, McKinney may be in for a demotion. Who knows though, Houck may mold him into a solid player by the time the start of the season rolls around. I gues we'll see....

PHINZ RULE!!!
 
Thanks so much Blitzkrieg.

If you wouldn't mind, could you conjur up some memory of what you saw out of Vernon Carey and Travis Daniels today???
 
I think its a mistake to micro-analyze things from one day to the next, especially this early on. Players will have good days and bad days. It happens on every team.
It's best to wait and see how the finished product looks in September. That's why I don't get overly upset when media types (Prisco et al) make premature assessments about the talent on this team.
Some teams haven't even opened TC yet.
