Tuscaloosa, AL  With 10 practices and one scrimmage completed, here's an analysis of Alabama's roster from the head coach himself. Defensive line: 'I think we have five or six guys that are playing pretty well. ... (Jaheim Oatis) has had a really really good camp. Justin (Eboigbe) has had a really good camp so far. We're trying to bring some of the other guys along to be able to play.
Inside linebacker: Another position group that is replacing decorated starters, this case Henry To'oTo'o and Jaylen Moody, UA has an opening next to Lawson inside. The redshirt sophomore has embraced a leadership role. Another contributor could be Georgia transfer Trezmen Marshall. Outside linebacker: Pass rusher may be the least talked about position in camp and that's by virtue of its steadiness. Dallas Turner is set to replace Will Anderson as the group's leader. Saban noted Chris Braswell's success when he's been on the field and now the senior has a chance to be a full-time starter.
Secondary: Versatility has been the keyword for the defensive backs. Aside from Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold at the cornerbacks, the safety and star positions can see a few different faces try to mesh together. Junior DeVonta Smith has demonstrated a better handle on the playbook and transfers Jaylen Key and Trey Amos have taken snaps at safety and cornerback.
Special teams: Kicker Will Reichard, punter James Burnip and long-snapper Kneeland Hibbett are all returning.
