DeBoer says Alabama players must translate good practice habits to football field

Alabama football’s head coach Kalen DeBoer feels that the Crimson Tide’s practices emphasize the importance of giving top effort on every play and the importance of having effective communication on the football field.

These are two areas in which the Crimson Tide did not look good in against Florida State.

DeBoer was asked about the Crimson Tide’s practice habits on Monday.

“It’s just gotta translate to game days,” DeBoer said. “And, again, a lot of it is just, like, just go out there and enjoy it and have fun. You put the work in and these guys are doing it. I always compare the off-season training in the weight room, that we’re not building to be a track team and then just take our running to more running. We’re taking our skill sets, our body and how we’re developing, and then also the urgency in this transitions from one station to another. We got to translate that to football. You know, how you run on the field, how you run off the field, how you start, how you finish, the mindset that goes into all that. I really believe our guys do that at a high level. We gotta make sure we keep stressing those things that we’ve stressed and make the corrections here going on into this week.”

Alabama will look to have a good week of practice this week and hopes it translates to the gridiron Saturday against Florida State.
