Nick Saban took a question about the offensive line and turned it into a defense of the Crimson Tide freshmen on his weekly radio show.
head coach Nick Saban knows what’s in store for him on Thursday nights: a trip to Baumhower’s Grille forThis week the pair had an entertaining sparring match on Saban’s weekly radio show. Peewee wanted to know about the Tide’s offensive line struggles. The long-time caller noted he’s seen improvement, but there are still snapping issues and UA has allowed 31 sacks . Peewee specifically noted the pressure allowed by left tackle Kadyn Proctor.
“You got a freshman playing left tackle, who’s a very talented guy. He’s working. He’s getting better and he’s gonna continue to get better and be an outstanding player, but he’s a freshman. I know the expectation is we can replace anybody, any time and they’re gonna step in and play like a first-round draft pick. But that’s not necessarily the case. We all have to have time to develop players.”
Wideout Jalen Hale has three catches, including a 33-yard touchdown against Ole Miss. Former five-star running back Justice Haynes has been a contributor on special teams, while also tallying 10 carries for 62 yards. Defenders Tony Mitchell and James Smith also have a tackle each.
