After watching five Training camp practices, one must be careful not to draw too many conclusions. However, I think it’s perfectly sensible to consider observations with a grain of salt. I’m sure most of you have been gathering information from various beat reporters, but I thought I’d share my observations of practice.
First off, there seemed to be a different attitude surrounding the team. I don’t know if the ‘Bama players are rubbing off, or the loss of players like D.J. Swearinger has helped the culture, but this team is noticeably more business-like, with less fooling around on the sidelines and more nose-to-the-grind attitude.
