Legend Fernando Bryant: What Alabama DBs Kool-Aid McKinstry & Terrion Arnold NEED for a BIG YEAR!

Legend Fernando Bryant was a 3-time All-SEC performer while at Alabama and won a Super Bowl. He also had some legends as Crimson Tide teammates in the secondary: Deshea Townsend and Kevin Jackson. They were All-American and All-SEC performers as well in the late 90’s. As great as they were, they needed one specific thing that allowed for that success. Bryant also believes that same thing is needed for Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold to replicate or exceed that success. It just so happens that Nick Saban and Kevin Steele have those ingredients. He and former Alabama linebacker Marvin Constant reveal what they are in this video!

Reaction to Jermaine Burton’s Press Conference Heading Into Alabama’s First Scrimmage!

One of the most heavily criticized players on the Alabama roster is wide receiver Jermaine Burton. Although he finished the 2022 season leading all receivers in yards, to fans his performance was underwhelming. Some questioned his work ethic. Crimson Tide fans wondered why Nick Saban continued to play him ahead of others. Former offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien seemingly made matters worse. Now, we’re entering a new season. O’Brien is gone. Tommy Rees has taken his place. What kind is affect Will he have in Burton’s performance?

Recently, Jermaine Burton spoke to the media in Alabama’s press conference. We saw a more humbled and driven player. His responses left us surprised. So, what does it all mean heading into the Crimson Tide’s first scrimmage of the fall?

Justin Riley answers all questions!

Eye Witness Report on Alabama QBs from First Scrimmage! Who is Pulling Away?

Former NFL veteran with the New York Giants and father of Alabama linebacker Christian Miller, Corey Miller, was on hand at the first scrimmage.

Not only that, he saw a dark horse in the race. In this video, he breaks down what he saw and who Tommy Reese may select as the starter. Let’s just say, Nick Saban’s offense is in good shape.

The Bama Standard: Jalen Milroe is QB1? Eye Witness Recap of Alabama Scrimmage! Guest Corey Miller!

Things are heating up for Alabama is kickoff quickly approaches for the 2023 season. Despite recent comments by Nick Saban, it appears that Jalen Milroe may be pulling away in the quarterback race. Ty Simpson and Tyler Buchner are conceding yet. However, we take a look at what may be pushing Milroe ahead.

Per reports, it look as though Kevin Steele has the Crimson Tide defense clicking on all cylinders. They appear to be ahead of the offense in terms of progression. Recently, players like Jaheim Oatis, Justin Eboigbe, Devonta Smith, and Trezmen Marshal have been leading the way. How good is this defense going to be?

It appears as though new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will have his work cut out for him. The wide receivers continue to struggle with consistently catching the ball. Is this something fans should be worried about? It was enough to get Nick Saban upset in the press conference following the scrimmage. Guys like Amari Niblack, Malik Benson, and Kendrick Law seem to showing the most upside. What about the others?

This week's guest is former NFL linebacker, host of "The Millers Edge" podcast, and fan favorite Corey Miller. He provides us with an eye witness recap of Alabama's first scrimmage! Plus, former Alabama linebacker Christian Miller joins us as well!

The Bama Standard: Alabama's Second Scrimmage Recap! Is Saban Pleased? Dark Horse QB Emerging?

The second scrimmage of Alabama Fall Camp is in the books! Going in, many felt like this would be the platform where starting positions were confirmed. Of course, one of those positions is quarterback. Recently, Jalen Milroe seemingly took the lead over Ty Simpson and Tyler Buchner. Was that the case today? Nick Saban issued a challenge, demanding that someone force him to play them. Did that happen today?

In the last scrimmage, Nick Saban was visibly upset because of inconsistencies across the board. One of the targets of his rage were the wide receivers. How did they perform today? Malik Benson, Amari Niblack, Kendrick Law, and Shazz Preston have been turning heads. Was that the case today?

Have Kevin Steele and Tommy Rees got the ship headed in the direction they want? Nick Saban was very critical of the defense this week. He was impressed again with Jaheim Oatis and Justin Eboigbe. Saban also mentioned that Tim Keenan has shown improvement.

Our own Stephen M. Smith was on hand to speak with Nick Saban in his post-scrimmage press conference. Coach Saban was absolutely fuming mad in the presser. Stephen reveals his main take-aways following this pivotal practice.

Justin Riley, Steve Brown, and Stephen M. Smith break everything down.

The Bama Standard: Saban's Mind Made Up? Fall Camp Wrap Up! Alabama Legend Tony Dixon!

Two scrimmages are now complete. Stars are starting to emerge for Alabama. Jalen Milroe appears to be taking a commanding lead at quarterback. However, Ty Simpson, Tyler Buchner, and Dylan Lonergan may have something to say about it! The running back room is stacked, but there's a Crimson Tide ball carrier who's making a lot of noise, Jam Miller! Will he become the lead back? While we have questions, Coach Saban may already have his mind made up. We debate that possibility!

This is the last full week of Alabama Fall Camp. Next week, preparations for Middle Tennessee State will begin. At this point, what are Tommy Rees, Kevin Steele, and Nick Saban looking for? How will the Crimson Tide close out camp? We talk about it!

Last year, there were several players in the minds of fans who were underutilized or misused. Now they have a chance to shine under Rees and Steele. Who are those players who can break out in 2023?

This week, we are joined by Alabama legend and former Dallas Cowboys safety Tony Dixon! We talk about his career and get his take on the current team.
