Do you agree or disagree?
1. The quarterback competition is very wide open
2. Justice Haynes is the real deal with three scores on the day
3. Defensive secondary is very impressive
4. In the trenches: JC Latham and Tyler Booker shined, Proctor is massive
5. Malik Benson turned heads late in the game, ending with 5 receptions for 70-yards and 1 TD

I’m excited for this secondary. It has the potential to be one of the best in the country and the best that Coach Saban has had. Everyone of them are ball hawks. I’m expecting a lot of turnovers this year. And we don’t need a Bryce Young at QB this year. With this team, I feel like all we need is a game manager that’ll take care of the ball and we should be good

Dylan looked good man, he stood out more to than the main two

[stanthebamafan]

Can we talk about how Jake Pope got the 2nd most tackles in the game

[temarcussmith]

All I can say our run game better be strong.

I like all of the qb's I think they all have some different that they can bring to the team, some fans and others wanna see them play as if it's a real game. There's not a whole lot we can take from an A day game, but there were some good things it's all depends on who's looking and what their expecting to see. I think about time the season start everything will come together. RTR

[glennvanzandt]

I'm not sold on Milroe or Simpson. Better see tons of improvement before the season.

[robertd]

Some of the QB play, especially Milroe, was spotty. However, both Simpson and MIlroe had some perfectly thrown balls that were catchable but for the defensive play. That is a good sign to me. It means they can deliver the ball for our receivers but other teams are going to play hell doing it with theirs against the Bama secondary.

Thank you for this buddy I didn’t get to watch our A-Day game. I’m still baffled out how Bama’s Spring Game was not on regular ESPN…..😡

[OLPHCF]

What I think a lot of people won't see, to no fault of their own is that this was super scripted from a coaching standpoint. This was not the type of offense we will see in the fall. Between all four quarterbacks there were over a hundred passes thrown or very close.
What we witnessed was a passing practice. Coach Saban wanted the team put in a lot of 10 and 20 personnel to give the team reps at what its least efficient at. We saw very little play action. So before Bama people start hitting the panic button, this is, to bring another sports analogy to the front, like a basketball player working on the shots and angles that he is least effective at. Watching it you go "this guy ain't very good" but he is getting better at his weakest link in the chain.
The biggest positives I saw is that when the offense ran the ball it was physical and the DL rush was very effective.
Biggest weakness was Left Tackle. I personally think Kadyn Proctor will be the guy there. But overall I have the same feeling watching this Spring game as I do every year under Saban, you leave slightly un-impressed and wondering, but, I think that's the whole point. Sleep on this team if you want. Something just feels different

[jayman]

Don’t forget with Milroe… these scrimmages hurt him because he’s an actual dual threat… he is more dangerous out the pocket making ppl miss 1 hand tackles don’t work for mobile guys

[rolltide]

I was watching the game in the stadium today so I could see what the cameras did not show on TV. For the most part the tide looked really good except the part where we had receivers breaking free on a large number of plays. That is a big thumbs up for the receivers, but not so much for the quarterbacks. We are use to having QB’s that can throw the receivers open, this year they seem to have a hard time even identifying a open receiver. I guess the plan for this season will be 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Pray our running backs stay healthy.

[randybailey]

Simpson looked most composed and in control but it was 2s on 2s. All QBs had too many drops by receivers

[InnovatewithLes]

Lonergan and Simpson looked damn good!!! Lonergan has my vote!!! Hell I'll take either one of those boys...but Lonergan looks comfortable as hell!!

[jarvisharris]

Both quarterbacks look very athletic, but other than that they were ok at best, the freshman look better, to be honest. The only thing I can say is Jalen Mill Road ultimately has more playing time and all of them so maybe when the lights really come on, we’ll see something different

[theknowitall]

Ty Simpson is probably the guy. Milroe got sacked like 7 times but Simpson had some drops. The most impressive was Dylan Lonergan. He is the best right now. If Dylan stays at Bama he will be a Bama legend.

[virgiltate]

Ty, you got this! But don’t let it go to your head!

[cognacwest]

We might have the best back field in the country. Jase, Roydell, Justice Haynes, and my personal favorite Jam Miller 💪🏿

[fredharris]

The Defense may be special this year !!!!

[Kay-RT]

Ty Simpson, Justice Haynes, Kendrick Law and Malik Benson, Malachi’ Moore, And Koolaid looked very impressive yesterday.
