Re: Barrett Jones still on crutches and casted

I'd rather get him as close to 100% as possible rather than have him taking practice snaps when he's started for four years and does a good job of taking care of his body.

Can you guys give me a quick snapshot of Kelly? From the article, it seems he will be a stud in his own right at some point, if not soon.

Re: Barrett Jones still on crutches and casted

Kelly is going to be a good lineman for us but we need Barrett for Jan 7.

I'm not too worried. Like I said, he is a mature young man who is smart enough to be prepped with a short practice time. I'd rather have him as close to fully healed as possible rather than aggravating the injury in practice.

Kelly much more finesse than Barrett and would have a brutal job dealing with Nix. We need Jones healthy...period

cross those fingers

Don't expect to see Kenny Bell we need him next year at 100%. B. Jones is the one I'm worried about.

Re: Barrett Jones still on crutches and casted

I would be shocked (and bummed obviously) if Barrett doesn't play.

He's simply too much of a competitor to not play. I think he will and do just fine.

Re: Barrett Jones still on crutches and casted

I have no doubts Barrett will play & will be a force against The Irish..He played hurt against The Dawgs in the SEC Championship Game & I thought he played his best game of his career on top of that..This is why he came back his senior year..To repeat as National Champs..No way he'll watch it from the sidelines..He'll be ready come game time..

Jones will play, youre kidding yourself if you think otherwise. will he play the whole game is a different story, but he'll suit up and play.

IF it turns out that Barrett can`t go (or go the whole game), would it be possible that someone other than RK would call the line assignments? I know that the center usually does that, but could someone with more experience (Chance?) make the calls?

Re: Barrett Jones still on crutches and casted

Coach Bryant played with a broken leg against Tennessee in his days. I expect Barrett to play.
