Alabama's Defensive Standouts at A-Day on The Joe Gaither Show

Who impressed on the Crimson Tide defense at A-Day on The Joe Gaither Show | Episode 207: April 16, 2024.

The Tuesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" circled back to Alabama football's spring finale and focused on who stood on defensively at A-Day. The Alabama defense fell into a 31-0 hole to open the game against the Alabama offense but closed the game on a 28-3 run to come up just short in the game. It was our first chance to check out Kane Wommack's "Swarm Defense" and there was a lot to like in his unit's initial performance.

The Alabama defense allowed a handful of chunk plays in the early part of the scrimmage, but the host points out who was missing for the Crimson Tide defense that may have turned the tide into their favor.

How did Alabama's young defenders perform in live action? The Crimson Tide saw at least 10 early-enrollees with playing time during A-Day, revealing a lack of experience at key depth positions.

The program identifies five individual standouts from this past weekend's game. Which transfer will become more important as the season unfolds, Keon Sabb or Domani Jackson?

The college football transfer portal window opens on Tuesday, therefore we consider areas the Alabama program needs to look for help from a defensive perspective.
