[VolBricks]

It looks like we may be down 2 starting linemen (Jackson & Thomas) against Bama according to this article from Rocky Top Insider

The good news is Worley appears to be OK after the shoulder injury against Ole Miss. I will be interested to see how he performs when he has to throw the ball deep against Bama.
I really thought we would have seen Josh Smith by now. That high ankle sprain must have been more serious than we thought.

SIAP- this is the first I have seen of the injury status.

Awesome.

Can any of our defensive lineman block anyone?

 

[Other_Guy]

Whata crazy is I thought the OL blocked much better than they did vs UF and UTC.

Coach Jones said in his media availability last night that he hopes to have Jackson for the full practice today, which means he's hurt but he'll play on Saturday.

No surprise there. If Jackson loses a leg on Friday, he's still probably our best lineman on Saturday.

Thomas might be out as he likely cannot practice today.

 

[McDad]

Is it a penalty for us to use the blocking sled on the field during the game?

 

[Other_Guy]

Its pretty much the worse combination wrb your best and worse OL are out.

Odd since Butch said in the presser than Jackson would practice and was expected a go. CT was waiting further evil.

CT is awaiting further evil? Good, he needs to toughen up.

Damn auto correct. Eval

Anyone find it odd that no one was wearing a green jersey at practice yesterday? We obviously have some battered and bruised players, and many are bandaged or wearing braces. Is Butch trying to send a message to toughen up? Any insights?

So you're saying there is a chance our O-Line may improve this week?

Jackson is our best O Lineman. This hurts.

 

[OSVolFan]

For some reason, I opened the thread thinking we were talking about Alabama OL guys. Then I remembered, it wouldn't matter anyway, they probably have about 20.

 

[bdanie14]

Jackson is our best O Lineman. This hurts.

That's like saying he is the smartest kid on the short bus. :thud:

I did too until I saw the stats.

 

[terrypedigo]

Jackson is the one that will hurt, Thomas not big of deal, whom every takes his spot will be a upgrade.

 

[LA Vol]

OL's already a turnstile. How much worse could it get? Scoreboard only goes to 99.

 

[GetEmVols]

we should just get rid of the line and put some extra wide receivers and tight ends

High ankle sprains are nasty business.

Well, it is nearing Halloween.

Well, it is nearing Halloween.

I caught that too but had exhausted my humor points with my blocking sled quip.
