Let's just wait til we see Coker in action at Spring game... I'm curious to see how he is... We'll see.

Its really hard to say on Coker. Because on one hand I hear that he has some struggling still lingering, but on the other he is playing against the first string defense and there are reports that he is making stides in correcting his throwing motions. Also we dont have definitive info on how the 2nd to 4th strings are doing against the 1st string defense. I think itll be like last year with it going to the fall to decide a winner because I dont think it is a AJ vs Sims thing in which we had a definitive answer in the spring. I just hope people dont take sides (which they most likely will) during the summer. All I know definitively is RTR and SNASS. have another RTR just because it rolls off the tounge so smoothly.:BigA::cool2:

No argument there. What is the severity of the injury?

unknown at this time. probably have to wait for CNS press conference, and even then we probably wont know.

I honestly don't know why we have the need for full contact scrimmages. The chance for injury is just too risky.
Hey coach! They're good! That's why they have all those stars! Let's not get them hurt. Please.
I'd like to compare the number of surgeries our team has had, compared to every team in America, in the last couple of years.
I'd bet we're number one.
Love Coach Saban, but we don't need to take ourselves out of national championship contention, by beating ourselves up so bad, that we can't beat other teams with close to our talent level.
It's just simply not necessary in the spring.

I'm done with this offseason. Let me know when it's September

We are having a bad injury spring but the past ones were not this bad and you have to have full contact scrimmages.We are just having some horrible luck right now.

I guess I'd rather it be an ankle than a knee

 

[AUDub]

I might consider calling it a spring, were I CNS.

Man, y'all's luck. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Al.com is also reporting ankle injury and not expected to be serious

Really appreciate your comments on here, and hesitated to respond, but IMO you are wrong on this one. Those high school stars don't mean crap until a player can show his grit on this level. Obviously Coach Bryant felt the same way and the game hasn't changed in that regard. Practice like you play is a proven winner and it can't be simulated by blocking and tackling dummies.
Good news is that it appears A'Shawn will be fine.

Anyone willing to question Scott Cochran on why we're having so many knee and ankle injuries?

No. Breaking a bone or tearing an ACL has little to nothing to do with training methods. Numerous muscle pulls, strains etc would show a lack of proper training methods..

Just seems like we've had an unusual amount of knee injuries in the last year. Maybe our luck just sucks!

Words - at least ones which maintain decorum - escape me...

 

[Relayer]

A string of bad luck, sure. I'm not ready yet to tell CNS how to run a spring practice. Or Cochran how to do his job. These folks have been doing this for a while and have a pretty decent track record.
