Per CBS, BY has an AC sprain

[Bamabuzzard]

Bryce will get daily treatment of some form that the average non Alabama QB Joe (like us) would not get. Granted, no one should expect he'll be fully recovered and starting next Saturday. But his progress of healing will be days and weeks ahead of a regular person.

If it was up to me, I'd try to have him ready to play against UT, but I wouldn't push it. We can beat aTm with Milroe.

Tennessee may have a great offense but their defense leaves a lot to be desired. If our defense plays like it has all year outside of a 15 minute stretch yesterday, I think we handle them.

Obviously we are better off if Bryce is back by then but I have confidence we still win even if he’s not.

Strangely enough Myles Garrett has a SP similar to BY and it is expected to impact him 2-4 weeks.

Source: AC injury to affect Garrett for 2-4 weeks

Myles Garrett's shoulder injury, suffered in a single-car crash last week, is expected to hinder the Browns star for the next two to four weeks, a source told ESPN.

Threshold injury, how much pain can he play through will determine his return. Had one 8 million years ago when I was playing.

So how do current warming trends compare with the Miocene era?

I injured both shoulders at different times. The first one I was 60 and lost my footing on the stairs and grabbed the stair rail. This stretched the shoulder joint. 6-8 weeks PT fixed it up. The second time was also on stairs. This time I did not grab the rail so I landed on my elbow. PT roughly took the same time. This second one may be like Bryce's. Bryce is a young, healthy man and will likely heal quicker.

The take-away here @J0eW is that you need to stay away from those stairs.

I think either way the path forward is clear.

A: Alabama has to have Milroe as ready to go as possible, even if Young plays there's no guarantee he can keep playing or doesn't reinjure. That is kind of stating the obvious but I hope Alabama doesn't start gameplanning for Young as the starter anytime soon, I think it should be all about Milroe for the time being.

B: Alabama has to develop the running game more. Even if Young is playing, heck even if he's healthy... the safest play for the QB is handing off. GMac won a championship game with broken ribs by relying on the running game, and while I get that times have changed, the running game protects the QB. The more Alabama can run effectively, the less of a concern Young's injury becomes.

Much truth in that message! I take stairs very carefully and slowly after those incidents.

Our running game improved with Milroe at QB. With the emphasis on the run, I think the OL was more comfortable with what they needed to do. Those two long TDs by Gibbs, he had holes big enough to drive a truck through.

For aTm, I'd put together a game plan that focused on the run, with some QB keepers by Milroe, and play-action passes to keep the defense honest. Milroe brings a different set of skills to the offense than Bryce. The game plan should be adjusted accordingly.

Somewhere tonight Texas 8&4 is pouring through high school tape to find out what Milroe did in high school. I hope we hang 60 plus on them next week. RTR.

LOL! Stairs can be deadly for us older folks! Actually, come to think of it, they can be deadly for anyone, regardless of age

Which baffles the mind when you look at his passing stats. Should’ve been all out run blitzes until he got back on the bus.

It was kind of weird. Many of the plays in the 3rd quarter Arky played 6-7 in the box. Then on JM’s long run on 3rd and 15, they went with 3 down and Pool as a spy. Pool whiffed and it was good bye.

 

[colbysullivan]

Mine was nearly a year but I think they have degrees to the level of sprain. My doc said it would take almost a full year to be 100% and he was about dead on to the day. It was only certain angles that it flared but when it did……wooooweeeee

Doctors, amirite?

 

[Bamabuzzard]

I was able to watch the postgame presser with Saban and he alluded to Ty Simpson being a part of the plan going forward. Now, to what degree, I have no clue. Saban could mean that Simpson's weekly reps and prep for the games is increased and more involved just in case Milroe goes down, or it could mean they may have a package or three for Simpson in certain situations.

What is the word on Bryce? I suppose they are getting some imaging done today to make sure this is only a sprain, correct?

I hope we don’t have any word on Bryce till Saturday night. If Jim has to prep for both QB’s all week he hasn’t properly prepared for either.

Yea, dig that but a lot of us are on pins and needles hoping for sprain confirmation.

I injured my throwing shoulder in high school, senior year. Inflamed rotator cuff was the diagnoses.....I could barely throw, even the motion of throwing hurt.

It wasn't quite 8 million years ago though, more like 27 years. I didn't realize selmaborntidefan was Vandal Savage.
