## Resource

Johnny Congdon and Brandon Clear start by discussing Lotzeir Brooks and the potential impact he can have on Alabama's wide receiver room. Can the sophomore make the jump and become one of the most dangerous weapons in the offense? We also break down the battle for the third wide receiver spot, while discussing Noah Rogers, who appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery and could shake up the competition once he's fully healthy. On defense, we dive into Alabama's corners and the possibility of the Crimson Tide playing more press-man coverage this season. What does that mean for this group, and which corners could benefit the most? We also discuss the biggest concern surrounding Alabama's running back room: health. With injuries already impacting the position, can the Tide stay healthy enough to maintain the depth it needs throughout the season? And we finish with one of the biggest risers of fall camp: Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. His strong camp is making it increasingly difficult for Alabama to keep him off the field.
