10 Alabama football players that should see more playing time in the weeks to come

Here are several of Alabama’s current players who should be seeing more playing time in the future.

Alabama has looked inconsistent at times this season. That goes for both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Certain position groups have shown strides of improvement while other spots have struggled down the stretch.

Everybody knows that talent isn’t a question. There has been an abundance of talent that has been recruited at each of the different position groups. That goes for both the offense and defense. As the season progresses, Alabama’s coaching staff will work to put players in the best position to be successful.

Through the first seven weeks, the team has had its share of highs and lows. Whatever the case may be, there is still plenty of time to fix the areas of concern and prevent these issues from re-occurring in the future.

There is always room for more playmakers and leaders. That is why Alabama’s depth could come into play throughout the course of the season. Today, Roll Tide Wire looks at 10 Crimson Tide players who should see more playing time in the near future.

A breakdown of the individual stats from Alabama players up to this point

Today, Roll Tide Wire takes a look at the individual player statistics through the first six weeks of the season.

Alabama is 6-0 heading into the Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Volunteers. The Crimson Tide have been led on defense by several seniors along with some underclassmen that have played pivotal roles on the back end of the defense. As for the offense, a handful of juniors have provided the spark so far.

Overall, Alabama has seen production from a majority of different players at each position group. The Crimson Tide have had to reload on the offensive side of the ball after losing Evan Neal, Jameson Williams, John Metchie III, Brian Robinson Jr., and Slade Bolden to the NFL.

Alabama’s roster has fulfilled their roles of replacing those players and it has shown in the win column. Today, Roll Tide Wire will take a look at individual player statistics from each position group through Week 6 of the season.

Does this roster have enough potential to be Nick Saban’s best team ever?

Does the 2022 Crimson Tide team have the potential to be Nick Saban’s best team ever?

There have been some really good Nick Saban-led football teams over the years, with 2009, 2015, and 2020 being several that come to mind. However, the 2022 Alabama football team should be in the conversation at the end of the season. There is a lot of depth, which raises the question: Does this team have enough potential to be the best team Nick Saban has ever coached?

I think this is the best team Coach Saban has ever had on paper. Nine starters are returning on defense and five starters returning on offense. Among those starters were arguably the two best players in the nation, Will Anderson and Bryce Young. Not to mention, the coaching staff was able to bring in transfers Eli Ricks, Jahmyr Gibbs, Tyler Steen, Tyler Harrell and Jermaine Burton. If that wasn’t enough, they also brought in the second-best 2022 recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports’ recruiting rankings.

In comparison to recent seasons, this team is separated by the overall depth on the roster. The Crimson Tide is extremely deep in the skilled positions. In the Week 1 matchup against Utah State, 11 different players caught a pass from quarterback Bryce Young. Every running back had at least one carry as well.

On defense, Alabama is returning projected first-round picks in Will Anderson, Henry To’oTo’o and Jordan Battle. The defensive line has tons of depth with experienced players like Justin Eboigbe, Tim Smith, Byron Young and DJ Dale all returning. Defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson has a lot of options in the secondary, as the team returned key players like Khyree Jackson, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Malachi Moore, Jordan Battle, Brian Branch and Demarcco Hellams.

The experience is what raises the question in my opinion. The talent is there. Does this team have enough potential to cement itself as the best team in Alabama football history? We will have to wait and see how the season plays out in Tuscaloosa.
