Why Ryan Grubb feels the Alabama football’s defense is helping his offense grow

The Alabama offense is a work in progress as the team works through the offseason, but having a top defense to go against in practice is valuable to new Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.

Grubb said one of the things that is making the offense better is going against defensive coordinator Kane Wommack’s 4-2-5 Swarm defense in practice.

“I tell you what, I’m thankful for it,” Grubb said on The Game with Ryan Fowler. “I know it’s a big cliche, but those guys like Domani Jackson, Zabien Brown, all these guys. That is exactly what we need to go against every day because it reminds our guys of, you know, we have a talented receiving core, but the type of players that they’re going to have to beat every week in the SEC and to compete for a national championship.
