Hopefully we can get it done with Jacobs, Robinson, and Harris. Robinson gets better by the game. Has great field awareness. Physical. Harris gets more physical during the big games. Glad he came back. Think about how lucky we are he came back with a guarantee of Pro money. Wow.Doubt Najee and Jalen will play this weekend.
Robinson is a really good back. Would be nice to see him play behind the #1 group of OL without having to face 9 men in the box anticipating run plays.Hopefully we can get it done with Jacobs, Robinson, and Harris.

I`m not sure Dr. Andrews would agree but I`ve always felt that there are certain parts of the body, once injured, are never fully the same. Backs, ankles, knees, elbows, etc. In other words, the things you injure if you play anything more strenuous than being on the debate team. Almost like a " right of passage " for all us ageing ex-jocks!Yep...I got an elbow to the mouth and had to pull my bottom lip off my teeth. Coach looked at it and said...."Aaaahhhh. Get on up to the gym and wash it out. You tough.Oughta be ok"
Been there too. I didn't talk back to him but today I would mimic my favorite Clint Eastwood line and growl through the blood and say..."Toughs got nuthin' to do with it." I also got an ankle sprain once when I was 26, and it has bothered me ever since. Mostly when coming down stairwells. Feel a snap ping in there. Ankle sprains need attention THEN healing time. We need Najee and Jalen...but I want these guys to be pain free in their daily lives. They get the best in care though so that will happen.
Amen brother! I actively played sports (basketball, football, baseball, softball, soccer and flag football) both recreational and organized from the time I was 6 until I was in my early 30's. Now at 43 there's a hitch in my giddy up and even my giddy up has left. I've got a lot of aches and pains that I have no doubt are from my years of playing sports. No matter how great of shape you were in at the time you played. The wear and tear comes to collect at some point.I`m not sure Dr. Andrews would agree but I`ve always felt that there are certain parts of the body, once injured, are never fully the same.

According to Coach Nick SabanNajee Harris (ankle) will practice today and is “doing really well
Was wondering the same thing.Today’s practice report said Jerry Jeudy wasn’t at practice during media viewing period but Ruggs snd Najee we’re practicing. Any word about Jeudy?? Is he injured?
Never met Dr Andrews but I know he is a champ. But I agree with you there. That ankle sprain from when I was 26 appeared one night in Church league Softball. Hit a single and got to first. While I was standing on that bag..I shifted weight to my right foot and that ankle flipped upside down so I sprawled out and had to have a pinch runner. Guys in the dugout said they could see PONY print on the bottom of my cleats. That ankle is still problematic but I have learned to be careful. I am hoping that Najee and Henry are ok. Also Jalen. We need those guys but they need their ankles.I`m not sure Dr. Andrews would agree but I`ve always felt that there are certain parts of the body, once injured, are never fully the same.

Used to lift weights a lot with bad technique I guess. Plus threw football too hard. Cost me a rotator surgery that has only healed about 90%. Toughest thing I have pushed through. Awful. Take care of your joints guys.Amen brother!

Saw on another site that Saban said Jeudy had a little tweak, went in and got checked out, and is okay.Was wondering the same thing.

Pretty much the same story here. Except I am nearly 72. I pay daily for my past. As you age, don't expect it to get better. My orthopedic Surgeon summed it up that my body was wore out.Amen brother!
