Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer spoke to reporters after the first spring practice at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Thursday. The big winner in Alabama’s eighth practice was the quarterbacks. DeBoer said all four players had success and none turned the ball over. The Tide are still trying to improve their pass blocking at the line of scrimmage, but the running backs were able to quickly isolate plays and get the ball to the receivers. In the 85-90 game stretch, DeBoer said he saw several quarterbacks.
He told reporters that every signal caller played in the system and made plays.”He did a good job of just playing the ball,” DeBoer said of Milroe. “He has two skills, the ability to run and the ability to throw, and now that we have enough things where he can use it, you’re going to see the play-calling revolve around what he brings to the table. He’s tough. tackle. He is very fast .Attack, he is becoming more comfortable, especially in the passing game. He has opportunities to make plays with his feet and has done so at the right time.
He just enjoys playing the game. He looks for ways to move the chains and turn when he needs to turn. I’m really proud of how he handled it.””They stuck to the plays, controlled the transmissions and got comfortable there. They didn’t try to do too much. They never turned the ball over, which I think is a very good sign. When they had a chance to throw, they put it where the offensive player could contest it. They threw some good touchdowns there too.”.
