Miller and Lewis returning by the Iron Bowl would probably allow us to move Mosley to ILB in spots. Getting them back will be huge but getting Mack Wilson back is the true final piece and that likely won't happen until the bowl season.
I'm hoping everyday that this can happen AND that it's not rushing back too soon....BUT IF one or both could somehow miraculously play in that game it would be HUGE.

Jmo but we would go from being in an absolute dogfight BIG12 Shootout to absolutely Boat-Racing them in in their own house. Our LB injuries have almost if not outright destroyed our D's ability to stop the run.

If we even had our Pre-LSU injury Defense with Mack, a 100% Minkah, and non-gimpy Evans, Buggs and a few other dings we could shut their run game down. They are 1 deep at RB and Stidham is a statue as long as you don't let him run North/South.

So frustrating..... *fingers crossed* at least the guys with nagging stuff get closer to 100% if nothing else.

If we can just somehow get into the playoff in whatever way and get Miller, Lewis, and Mack back.....Evan's groin heal up some, Minkah's Hammy loosen back up, and various other things I still think we can beat ANYONE else.

What I want to know is why was Christian Miller up at 12:02 AM? Is anyone else appalled that our players are up so late?

Roll Tide!!

Perhaps that's part of the reason Coach Saban was so giddy and playful yesterday in his press conference. He might think he has a chance to have Davis and Miller back for the Iron Bowl.

This is fantastic.
If he can make an impact against Auburn it would be huge. We might actually have a legit pass rushing threat for the 1st time since the FSU game. We have been seriously lacking an edge guy who can pressure the QB. Just imagine how much better this could make Davis and Evans.
We've had one sack from our outside linebackers in the last nine games.

Yep, our outside backers haven't been bad but they haven't been big play creators either. Mosley has done a great job of mostly playing his role in the defense. Same for Jennings. Neither are star players though. Miller and Lewis were mine and most other Tide arm-chair or professional prognosticator's "players to watch" in 2017.

Ouch! That hurts to see in print.
especially since in the last two seasons the OLBs have put more than 20 sacks on the board -season before that was 14. To drop down to ONE is hard for other groups to make up.

There is also an off-field component to this. If Alabama can get one back against Auburn, other back in a potential SECCG, and a third back for the playoffs, this plays into the injuries as a criteria aspect of the the playoff selection process. Hopefully this won't be a factor, but the notion of a beat up team that is getting healthier could play well with the committee.

Stidham didn't like the video. An anonymous source says after watching the video Stidham needed to change his pants.
