Here's what we saw while watching the cornerbacks at Alabama football practice on Saturday.
Wommack was running a tackling drill early in practice on Saturday. One player stands with his back to a red landing mat. Meanwhile, a defensive back launches into him, down onto the mat.Brown lowered his right shoulder and popped the player standing in front of the mat.It’s one moment in a practice of many. And it was an individual drill, in which Brown was tackling a non-moving teammate.
AL.com spent Saturday mainly watching the cornerbacks during the viewing period. Here are some of the things we saw. - Mincey is another freshman cornerback to watch besides Brown. He stands out on the field with noticeable length. Mincey is listed at 6-3, so he’s easy to spot quickly. Learning the finer points of the game will be key, but he would be an ideal defender to face a tall receiver. He might not be able to win the starting job out of camp, but he could help the defense at some point this season if he doesn’t.
- Maurice Linguist, who coaches the cornerbacks, really liked how Jones ran one rep of a drill; In the drill, cornerbacks start off the line of scrimmage then run to wrap up a teammate holding a blocking shield. “There we go,” Linguist yelled while he clapped forcefully to show his approval of Jones’ technique.
