Alabama Football Daily Insider: Spring Depth Chart

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.

The Daily Insider: April 1

Alabama football did not practice on Friday and the next on-field session will be Monday, April 3. It will be a busy week with three practices and a scrimmage on Saturday, April 8.

With limited new information for a couple of days, this may be a good time to offer our first 2017 Depth Chart. And yes, that is Depth Chart, not 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.

We’ll start with the offense because it is a little easier.
