[Volador]

Any real surprise here? This either shows that Bama is thin at RB or, the Tide really wants to win tomorrow.

He was knocked out mid air. I say it is criminal to let him play, but whatever. I guess DeBoner likes winning more than the health of his players.

Of course... It's us. He's scared silly

They are not scared of our defense at all.

Dude. It's the offense. He wants to find a way to keep up.

 

[kobeevans15]

No surprise at all he's playing, but dang. He got knocked out cold. He can't be near 100%

 

[Sudden Impact]

A QB I could understand being probable, but a running back knocked out the previous week is really a desperate move. Or they could be playing games with the availability list.

One hit could do enough damage and end his season. Was he not out cold? Player safety?
This is more than likely BS, but who knows. Decoy or real?

Think it shows they have no regard for the kids health but they have to live with that not us. As far as the game goes…. Hope they give us their best just like I hope we give them our best. Nothing worth it is ever easy. Put the ball down and may the best team win. GBO

 

[CBR07]

Playing with fire playing him. He was knocked out cold. IMO very dangerous for that kid to play

 

[G8rh8r]

The worst sports injury I've ever seen was Prothro's wrecking his leg running up the score due to Shula's arrogance. Poor kid. I hope this doesn't happen to Jam.

I thought they might try this. The hit looked pretty terrible -- to me it looked like he had the "fencing" response before he even hit the ground. You'd think that Alabama of all teams would notice how returning early worked out for Tua.

For Miller's sake I hope he doesn't play and this is just gamesmanship to force us to make a game plan for him.

They know they going need him…. To have a chance

Yep, all kids or college players say I'm a go, no matter what. Then its up to the trainers. I like what UT did with David Sanders although Sanders and the whole fan base was wanting him to play but the professionals stepped in and did their job, with no regard to pressure but taking care of the individual and his future..

probably just trying to give our team something else to think about in scouting

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

If they really choose to prioritize winning a football game over this young man's long term health, that will go a long way in informing my opinion of Deboer.

Agreed but there is 10 million reasons he would

Disregard, yes, but face it, this is about Alabama trying to reestablish itself as a feared program. Desperate People do Desperate things. This is common in this day and age.

Saban fought NIL and the portal because Paying under the table was easy and NIL exposed what was in the college world happening. What's more it leveled the playing field for all teams. Kids got a little smarter and realized the powerhouse teams weren't all that. The Alabama name recruited itself. No More and the exposure of what they were paying the players under the table was in the open and became competitive.

If he does play and reinjuries himself, people will blame Tennessee and not Alabama. Desperate move, unless it is a fake job. My take is that it is a decoy and he will not play.

Did you hear Ty Simpson? He was good cop to Bernard's bad cop. He gave us a lot of respect and said people who say our defense isn't good don't know what they are talking about.

I mean, to be fair, if I wanted to win the Heisman that's what I'd probably say about Tennessee's defense as well.

Or any team's defense, for that matter.

 

[VFL9798]

We need to hit his ass early and take him out

 

[zeppelin128]

I mean I'd list him as probable even if I had zero intention of playing him. Mind games and such.

yeah the Field of Dreams quote was way more accurate. Or our defense is really solid and is the reason we won several close games this year already. And the metrics that bear that out contribute far more to wins and losses than the ones fans love to point to to say we're trash.

 

[Carp]

Agreed but there is 10 million reasons he would

He's getting paid regardless.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Winning close games wears fans out but builds a team Psyche and unity. Builds Character. You are never out of a game because you played against teams of the caliber in the SEC. I think every game we play the remainder of the season will be close. (1 Exception -NMS)
