The Crimson Tide coach cited his team's fitness when asked about his top concern after the team's fist practice of fall camp.
The Alabama Crimson Tide football program capped off its first full week of fall camp with a scrimmage on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. The Crimson Tide is now nine practices into fall camp 2024 and has three weeks until it kicks off against Western Kentucky in Tuscaloosa.
If they’re not in the ones, they’re definitely in the two rotation, so those reps are invaluable for those guys, not just for them but also the trust that it takes as a whole unit. So I think that’s the biggest thing, just because our youth is there around different position groups. Guys are doing great jobs with their bodies. Anytime they have a chance there, extra time, they’re in the training room doing a good job. And just before practice, after practice, doing what they should. Being a pro.
First and foremost he's not citing mental errors, consistency in effort or a lack of ability to grasp the playbook conceptually. A coach who's biggest concern is the health of his team is happy about the development and progress in the offseason. He cites the need to develop the youth during the next two weeks of fall camp to ensure the team is ready for the rigors of the season, but a starting unit staying healthy would mitigate the need to rely on youth and depth.
