Tide Tidbits - Mar. 27, 2008

'Best practice in two or three years'
"I felt like today was one of the best practices we've had in two or three years since I've been here," center Antoine Caldwell said. "Guys getting after it, people stepping up and everybody taking responsibility and doing their job. It was a good day."

Johnson back in spotlight
Rashad Johnson was back in the spotlight for the reasons he prefers on Wednesday afternoon. “I definitely believe I’m a leader on defense,” Johnson said. “My approach is going to be the same as last year, but it will be different, too. There will be less of me having to tell [teammates] what to do and more of them knowing what to do. You can really tell a difference in the second year of Coach [Nick] Saban’s system.”
