  • No injuries to report. Wingo and Alexander are out, but those were to be expected.
  • Alabama likes to use play action to hit deep shots, so the safeties will have to play a great game on Saturday.
  • Last update he got on Greg Brooks was last week. He had another procedure to help in his recovery. He's in rehab and working through the process of getting right. He's still in a battle, but he is making progress.
  • Alabama has been one of the worst teams in the nation in sacks allowed, but he thinks a lot of those were early in the season and Milroe was holding on to the ball too long. He wishes the offensive line was bad, but that isn't the case. He thinks they're a very skilled O-line and says his team needs to find ways to get pressure.
  • He feels Garrett Dellinger has been a very good piece on the offensive line this season. He was able to have a full healthy offseason, and he thinks that has been a key piece in his improvement.
  • He's had a bigger role in the defense since the Ole Miss game. He feels the practice they had today defensively is night and day better than they were a few weeks ago before Missouri.
  • Says if the other teams knew what their signs were, it would be a massive disadvantage. Says if someone knows if you're running or passing every down, then it has a massive impact on the game.
  • After the FSU game, Kelly said this team isn't who he thought they were. He feels they're at that point now.
  • He feels pressures and disrupting the passer is just as important as sacks. Yes, he'd love to get the QB on the ground, but if you can disrupt the passer and make him miss a throw, that's still a big deal.
  • Says they've changed their signs up for Ole Miss because of Walker Howard and they're changing it this week. Says he has words that can be used 2-3 different ways, and they just change the meaning of those words for that particular game.
