Leon Brown as Our LT for the Rest of the Year... (assumes Cam Robinson is out)

Re: Leon Brown as Our LT for the Rest of the Year..

Shepherd has been playing significantly hurt. Maybe he'll be healthy for LSU...

When he got beat for the sack, I noticed a significant limp, I don't think he's well at all.

Sims' sack in the 4th, killing a drive at the ut 45 came from the the back (left) side, iirc.

Well, to defend the offensive line on that play a little...sims held the ball quite a while, and should have probably gotten rid of it before he was sacked...

Thread title suggests it is known that Cam Robinson is out for the season.
Is this a fact or speculation?

A high ankle sprain is very difficult to get over. Thank goodness we have an off week so Cam can get treatment. Hopefully, he will be able to practice some next week but I am not holding my breath. LB has to step up and be the man at LT for the Tide and I look for Bozeman to play the RG spot. Having an extra week to work on the OL play will help.

I'll give Leon brown credit,he has cut way down on the penalties.

I started the thread and it`s a sheer " What if" question. I have absolutely no idea re: Cam`s actual medical condition.

Well, let's not assume Leon will play LT while Cam is out:

SIAP, but was it ever definitively stated as to what was behind Grant Hill's recent absence from the team?

I love the secrecy. It gives us something to talk about on here on bye weeks.

My speculation is that Cam Robinson will be out for the LSU game. The two caveats being that we do not know the extent of the injury nor how quick Cam can recover. The general rule on high ankle sprains is that they can take up to a month to heal and rushing back on the field has a significant re-injury risk. Pretty terrible timing but it could be after this two-game run before he's back on the field.

Some people forget Leon Brown was a LT in JUCO so I imagine he feels more comfortable playing there.

I know that the coaches know more about these players than I do, but I don't get this at all.

Me neither, I'm thinking with the bye week its more of an experiment.....

Generally, you don't like creating "two new players" over one injury...but Grant Hill looked pretty good in spot duty covering down for Austin Shepherd. I really think that we should be looking to lean on teams with the run without Cam's agility at LT. Kinda seems like that is the route they may be going by putting Shepherd at LT.
