Hamilton is a senior who tore his ACL late in the season. Even with today's advanced medicine, that's a 9-12 month injury. He won't be back in the 50-60 days that would be necessary for him to play in the playoff final, should we be so fortunate as to be there.
It was. He tore the ACL in the same knee in December of last year, late in the season. That's probably where the confusion is. Luckily there's no ACL damage this time.
Yep. And there was speculation about his patellar tendon which is often involved so it was confusing. I doubt if will even be able to participate in the combine.
We have no idea since the media viewing period is so short how many reps he took with the 1s.
True. Its also quite possible that the ones he took were for the purpose of giving the media something to write about.
I have no idea what he knows, but Tebow said today that he expects Alabama to have most of its LBs back for this game.
Mack was in on dime defense with the first team. You remembered correctly.
Thanks JBama I thought that's how it was. That makes me think Mack gets meaningful minutes on defense. He is the biggest need of the the three injured to make calls and align the defense. Here's to hoping all three make some kind of positive impact tomorrow! RTR!
Exactly right. It helps Alabama to have the players back, but it doesn't change Auburn's preparation.
Yeah, I expect Auburn to play fastball tomorrow. Try to run a lot of plays and get our defense tired in the 4th quarter a la Clemson. We need a few long drives to give our D rest. I think we should go slow and try to use every second of the play clock. I think up-tempo would be a mistake.
Disagree - Alabama's offense is most effective when you go fast, and you need to score. The key is first down defense for both teams. You can't go fast if you get stuffed on first down.
