Jumbo Package: Pay For Play Is Dead-ish For Now Edition

Called that one a year ago.

Practice: Some good news.

"Execution for a first scrimmage was probably OK, not where it needs to be," Saban said. "Certainly we have a lot of things to work on. The defense is probably a little ahead on the offense which is not unusual in terms of their ability to execute and do their job, have a little more experience which certainly helps, especially early on." Saban said the secondary was better and he likes the way the group plays. "Having Eddie [Jackson] and Geno [Smith] at safety makes us a little more athletic, little more speed, little more range on the field," Saban said.
