Alabama Football Daily Insider Report: Post-Scrimmage Updated Depth Chart
By Ronald Evans
Alabama football fans have a big appetite for information and we’ll be serving up healthy portions of hot food for thought with a side of seasonal inside information every morning this Spring.
There was a time when getting to the Waysider early on a weekday morning was the best way to learn what was really going on with Alabama football.
In the compact dining area, all you had to do was listen. Most conversations included tidbits of information about the University and the football program.
These days there is more to be gleaned by surveying the digital landscape of multitudinous sources. The problem with this wondrous abundance of information is in separating the sense from the nonsense.
That’s where we come in. This column will endeavor to guide that process of discernment.
We’ll peruse message boards, podcasts, tweets, talk radio and numerous digital communication platforms. We’ll ferret out the most worthwhile information and offer our take on what it means.
Daily Insider: April 10
Alabama football conducted its first scrimmage of the 2017 season Saturday. There were a few surprises as we reported yesterday. There will be two more scrimmages this spring and probably three in the fall before the two-deep becomes settled.
Based upon what happened Saturday and Saban’s post-scrimmage an UPDATED 2017 Depth Chart is in order. And yes, we mean a Depth Chart, not a Rep Chart. Is it too early? Absolutely it is, but we’ll proceed with one disclaimer: Until Monday, August 21, depth charts are fools gold.
