The Dolphins and Eagles held a joint practice, which gave plenty of opportunities for Alabama in the NFL reunions.

DeVonta Smith went down Alabama memory lane at joint practice with Dolphins. Here he describes his relationship with Waddle, who he hung with everyday in college, and his QB Tua Tagovailoa.

Smith later said he checked on Waddle after stomach bug news, and Waddle is all good. pic.twitter.com/y0UehiBP2h

On This Date in Crimson Tide History:

August 26, 1930: Wallace Wade, who was entering his final year as head coach of Alabama, said "toting ice, chopping down trees, working in steel mills and other laborious tasks do not put athletes in a good frame of mind for football. When they don their moleskins in September, they are stiff and pep-less if they have had that type of summer regimen. I prefer regular exercise programs with emphasis on running." – Bryant Museum

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin’ and preachin’ were a lot alike.” – Paul W. “Bear” Bryant

We’ll leave you with this …
