Happy Gump Day! For today is the day that Saban giveth. <\/p>\n
Quick review of some late stuff:<\/p>\n
It was a fairly tightly-scripted media viewing session yesterday for the beats, though we did get to see a bit more of the QBs versus air and very <\/em>light coverage in timing drills:<\/p>\n Next drill, all four quarterbacks, including the walk-on, threw next to each other at the same time to different receivers running different routes downfield. The quarterbacks would switch spots to get a chance to make different throws. One of the early noticeable passes from this drill was from Simpson to Isaiah Horton, the Miami transfer. Simpson hit Horton on a pass about 20 yards along the left sideline. Simpson also threw a laser to Brooks about 10 yards on what looked to be a curl route. Once again, all of these passes were against air, not defenders. <\/p>\n During that drill, the last reporters got to see, Mack had one throw in which he targeted Rico Scott who was running toward the sideline but it looked like the pass didn\u2019t have quite enough air. So Scott had to cut his route a little short it looked like to be able to make the catch. But Mack also had a beautiful throw to Horton on a deep pass a few minutes later along the left sideline. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n One name that pops up repeatedly these last few weeks is Freshman Lotzeir Brooks. And, Russell has been flashing tremendous potential and an elite arm, even if not being consistent enough to unseat Simpson. Though Ty has the weakest arm of \u2018Bama\u2019s QB triad, he\u2019s making the right plays reads and throws and seems to have a firm grip over the starting job. <\/p>\n\n
