Coach Saban knows what he's doing when it comes to changing players' positions. He wants the best possible players on the field - hence why Pharr is playing on the defensive front for now, and Sharrief is working out at safety. They'll get more playing time at these positions, and they're probably better suited for them. Coach Saban pointed out that Josh Reed, Devery Henderson and Corey Webster all switched positions under him at LSU and they're all playing those positions in the NFL now.
Consistency and tempo are still areas of concern. It's obvious this team isn't used to working hard. Thanks to the former coaching staff. The first scrimmage is on Friday at BDS. That'll mark the midway point between the 15 allotted spring practices.
