Any word on David Sanders?

[NighthawkVol]

Why isn’t he playing?

 

[james_govols]

Still injured per Austin Price.

Surely he will play next week.

Would we want him to? OL and is playing well. May have lost his spot.

we will need every body we can get on the line against Georgia. he needs to be available to play

Nah.

He’s too good. If he’s ready he will start next week. Perry will be more comfortable at RG even though he’s doing great at RT

 

[BDP!]

Him not playing last week was a surprise. I don’t remember reading anything about an injury before Syracuse.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I say let him sit. OL is playing well.

Bull

I'd bring him in off the bench. No way I disrupt the current starting lineup right before UGA. Sanders needs to practice/play/earn his starting job. No way I want his first snaps to come against that UGA defense. You don't practice...you don't play.

 

[CAVPUT]

Forget that. Kid needs to play his way back into being a starter.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

If he is as good as reports indicate, and he is healthy, then he will start vs. UGA

 

[Carp]

FARK YEAH ALEX GOLESH!!!!!

First report last week was illness. Coach does like to hide stuff.

Make sure to tell Coach JH

I agree. Let him sub in but that’s it.

Regardless, I don't see how you start Sanders vs UGA. Do we really want his first snaps to be against UGA? Bring him off the bench then take it from there. Just think the current lineup has some degree of cohesive play after 2 games. Sanders blows an assignment and JA could be done for the season. No, you don't just put him in the lineup after missing so much time. Let him work his way back into it if he's able. Until then, you roll with the guys who've been out there practicing and playing games for the last several weeks.

Ok

If he is healthy I think he will play. Starting isn't more important than being in the rotation. We are going to need plenty of bodies against the GA D line.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I agree. All these people saying he shouldn't play because the OL is playing well, well we have played a bad Syracuse team and ETSU. We might need the generational tackle vs UGA.

 

[TAF]

He’s still waiting for @Proud Army Wife to pass him a tampon during lunch period.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

He certainly needs to come on off the bench and slowly get into the rythmn at this point. He is bound to need to knock off some rust, especially if he can’t go full speed in practice. Our O- line has good rythmn right now. GBO

 

[NighthawkVol]

What is the injury? This isn’t making sense. He was almost a go against Syracuse, but was a game time scratch. So he was certain to play this week. Then he doesn’t. Something isn’t adding up.

 

[LWSVOL]

Why isn’t he playing?

doctors felt he should sit for another week... still not at full strength from the stinger

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

This guy is gonna be so good here. I'm predicting top 3 OL ever in Knox. He's that good.

 

[Volben00]

If he’s cleared then he should start

Who cares if the OL has played well against Syracuse and etsu. We have 2 other starters currently playing out of the position the coaches want them in (Moe isn’t playing LG and Perry isn’t playing RG) We need guys in their proper position for UGA

Cavput, have you forsaken your role? You’re supposed to say that he should play next week and get game ready for winnable games. You say that GA wins by 4 touchdowns, at least, but at least Sanders got some meaningful reps.
