Why Alabama’s defensive backfield is well-positioned to improve: Crimson Tide position group analysis
New York TimesIt’s not often the SEC Defensive Player of the Year award goes to a cornerback. Alabama position group analysis: Offensive line | Receivers | Running backs | Quarterbacks | Defensive line | Linebackers The experience Despite the loss of Surtain — and it’s a big one — the secondary is still an experienced one. “Always comes to practice with a fire, always pushes me as a passer, our receiver, whoever he’s guarding.” Junior safety Jordan Battle has also been through the battles. “We’ve played him at star, we’ve played him at corner, we’ve played him at money, we’ve played him at safety, so he’s played every position in the secondary. But I think, in fairness to him, we need to put him someplace and get him some reps at that position so he can feel really good about playing fast because when he’s confident that way, he’s a real playmaker.” First-year starter When the depth chart was released Monday, what was expected became reality when Jayln Armour-Davis earned the starting corner job opposite of Jobe.
