Practice Tid-Bits Day #5

The heat index reached well over 100 degrees as the Crimson Tide worked out for more than two hours Monday afternoon. Today begins the grueling period of two-a-days for the team.

- Freshman tackle D.J. Fluker is big, but he doesn't appear ready to step in at left tackle.

- Davis, who started at right tackle last season, has been receiving repetitions recently at right guard as Alabama continues to try to find the right fit to replace departed right guard Marlon Davis.

- Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick looks like the real deal.

- Offensive lineman Tyler Love has been working with the second group at left tackle behind James Carpenter.

- Greg McElroy looked sharp with almost all of his throws as he looks to secure a starting role for the Crimson Tide.
