With it second scrimmage this weekend, the Crimson Tide looks to put a stamp on week four of fall camp.
In the video from Alabama Athletics, the offensive line performed man-blocking and zone-blocking techniques.

Among the names featured include Evan Neal, Chris Owens, Deonte Brown, Amari Kight, Darrian Dalcourt and Landon Dickerson. Not only does the Tide have a veteran group, but it also has a lot of depth up front. Nick Saban and Kyle Flood (offensive line coach) look to get the best five guys on the field and set up a balanced attack.
At the running position, Najee Harris, Trey Sanders and Jase McClellan (true freshman) were featured in drills.
All three backs worked the ladder, showcased agility through the bags, and displayed change of direction through each flag on the practice field. Steve Sarkisian, the Tide’s offensive coordinator, wants to rotate as many players in as he can this season.
Sanders, a five-star, has returned to form since his injury and McClellan has a burst to his game.
We will see how things work out against Missouri on Saturday, Sept. 26.
