Alabama Football Practice Reactions and Observations on The Joe Gaither Show

In this story:
Let's fire up a Thursday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we do a live reaction show after walking off the Alabama football practice field. Fernandez details his observations from the Crimson Tide quarterbacks and pass catchers, while Gaither discusses what he saw from key defensive position groups before briefly hitting today's SEC Tournament games.

The program spends the majority of the content discussing football as we've snuck into the Coleman Coliseum media room after practice. Fernandez watched the offense, while Gaither watched the defense so we start with how the quarterbacks performed. Can accuracy issues be worked out? Fernandez noticed Austin Mack and Keelon Russell struggling with touch and accuracy inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility on Thursday.

Defensively, Gaither highlights freshman Jireh Edwards for his size and fluidity in these early portions of practice. Is the Husky position going to be the most contested position on the team? What did the inside linebackers look like and who led them through drills?
